I’m not going to take that chance.”
“What are you going to do?” Amanda looks almost scared and Mia wonders if she’ll ever get the chance to act like other girls her age, if she’ll ever finish high school, if she’ll ever have a healthy relationship with a man who’s kind to her.
“I’m going to call someone who’ll be able to help.” Mia grabs her phone, ignoring the mounting number of missed calls from Eli’s cell and hits speed-dial.
“Mia.” Cassie’s voice in her ear is clipped, almost formal.
Mia doesn’t think anything of it; sometimes her friend automatically answers her phone in her professional lawyer mode. “Cassie, hi. I know you’re probably busy but this is kind of urgent. Do you have a minute?”
“What do you need?” Mia breathes a sigh of relief as Cassie gives her the answer she was hoping for. She summarizes the conversation she’s just had with Amanda and hears Cassie give a low whistle.
“One restraining order coming up. I’m going to need a full name and a last known address of this Jonah psycho.” The distaste in Cassie’s voice is palpable; Mia knows the feeling.
“I’ll email them to you right now. What about Amanda? I was wondering if you could talk to your new cop friend…” Mia doesn’t finish the sentence, knowing she’s being beyond cheeky, but a woman’s life might be at stake. She wasn’t too proud to be a little cheeky when she had to be.
“I’ll see what he can do. I might need to get a little creative. Where’s Amanda now?” Cassie’s speaking fast, her mouth struggling to catch up with the speed her brain is firing at.
“She’s with me. I want to keep her at the shelter until we know she’s safe.” Mia gives Amanda an encouraging smile and she returns a weak one.
“Okay, I’m going to see if we can get a squad car sent over to the shelter while we wait for the restraining order to come through. That should keep any homicidal biker assholes away.” Cassie shushes someone in the background and Mia’s ears prick up.
“Are you with someone?” She bites her lip, hoping she hasn’t just gotten her friend in trouble with her boss.
“No.” The monosyllabic response is completely out of character but Mia lets it go figuring her friend must be busier than she’s letting on.
“Thanks, Cass. I really appreciate it and so does Amanda.” Mia looks at the clock on her wall, figuring she’ll need to stay late to make sure Amanda’s all settled for the night.
“Don’t thank me, Mia. You know it just makes me mad.” Mia smiles into the phone at her friend’s standard response.
“Hey, are you around tonight. Can we maybe get a drink?” After her argument with Eli, the last thing Mia wants to do is go back to his place and she could use the wise words of her best friend, even though she knows what she’s going to say.: get the hell out of there, Mia . Right now it doesn’t like such a bad idea.
“Tonight, I can’t, honey. I’m sorry but, hold on…” Mia hears a noise like Cassie covering the mouthpiece of her cell and a muffled conversation. “Actually, yes. That’d be great. See you at my place in a couple of hours?”
“Sure.” Mia frowns into the cell. “Cass, you’re sounding a little weird? Are you okay?”
“Sure, Mia. I’m fine. I’m just sort of tied up with something at the moment. Don’t forget to send me those details on Amanda’s ex-waste of space.”
Cassie clicks off the call and Mia is left staring at her cell wondering what’s going on with her best friend. She shrugs, knowing she’ll find out in a couple of hours over margaritas and pizza – dinner of champions. She plasters a smile on her face and turns around to fill Amanda in on the plan to keep her safe.
