“Where’s the vial at Devine?”
“My daughter first.”
Max turned around and undid her ankles. Grabbing her by the hair he drug her out of the van.
“Hey asshole.” He held up the vial so Max could see it. “Now hand her over.” Max pushed her towards Devine and held out his hand for the vial. Devine released it to him.
All of a sudden the guns in the hands of the guys were flown to the side. They all looked up to see a massive brown lion walking towards them. Jewel stepped from the truck and walked towards them.
“Max Sterling. You have the right to remain silent. Anything…”
“Get that bitch!” Max screamed in anger. Just then the lion ran to stand in front of her and growled deep in his throat. All of the men took one look and ran to the truck. With a wave of her hand Jewel flattened all the tires. Sirens could be heard in the background. She looked down and pet behind Jeremy’s ears, smiling as he rumbled deep in his chest with pleasure. She froze them all as she walked to the truck and pulled out the clothes she had brought. She turned to look towards Devine when she heard the gasp. His daughter was clutching his shirt in fear as she stared wide eyed at Jewel.
“Don’t worry honey. I’m an agent. I won’t hurt you. Here Jeremy why don’t you get dressed. The girl and Devine watched in shock as Jeremy transformed in front of them and slipped into his jeans and shirt. They heard sirens in the distance and just as they came over the hill she unfroze the men before anyone could see them.
All the men including Max were arrested. After their exclamations of witchcraft and lions they were placed in the psychiatric ward of the hospital with armed guards standing outside their doors. Devine had said thank you and promised his daughter he was going to change his line of work.
“Thank you both. So what’s next?”
“I guess we go home.” said Jewel as she looked at Darrell. She didn’t want to look at Jeremy knowing it would be their last bit of time together. She had a crushing feeling inside and didn’t understand it. She needed to get back home now.
“I’ll call you…”
“Don’t.” Jeremy and Jewel looked at each other and smiled when they yelled it together. Darrell just laughed as he walked away.
They hitched a ride from one of the local cops back to Jeremy’s truck and made their way back to the hotel. When Jeremy shut the door he turned to look at Jewel but her back was to him. He walked up to her and spun her around.
She sniffed and wiped the tears away. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”
“I do. Come home with me. My family would love you. We could make this work.”
“Make what work?”
“Us.” He said as he bent down and took her mouth in a light kiss.
“Ok…” She whispered back. “But I get to be in control tonight.”
“Deal baby. You can have tonight. I have from tomorrow on.” He smiled as he picked her up and carried her to the bed.
