"What am I going to do with this?" she asked as she took it in her hand .
"Whatever you see fit . " Taking a step back, I lifted my chin and straightened my back . "It's your choice to kill him and it's your choice to let him live . "
Her eyes instantly went back to Virgo . He was laying on his back, hands out to the side . "Should I kill you?" she asked him, tipping her head into her shoulder . "You made my life living hell . You deserve to die . "
"You won't kill me, you don't have it in you . " His bloody smirk widened, exposing more red teeth . "You're weak, just like your father . He ran because he couldn't face me, he couldn't face his punishment like a real man . No one steals from me, he got what he deserved . "
Pursing her lips, Jessie pointed the gun in his face as she peered down at him . "Did you ever think that maybe he saved your life because he ran? Maybe my father could have killed you, but instead, he let you live . I just don't think he would have made that choice if he knew my mother would lose her life . "
"Your father didn't do me any favors . He deserved everything he got, right down to your fucking mother . "
Pulling back the hammer, Jessie pressed the gun to his temple . "I want to hear you beg . Beg me to kill you, beg me like you made me beg you . "

His lips thinned as his eyes crinkled . "I'll never beg you, I won't beg someone I don't respect . "
Pushing the gun harder against his skin, she screamed . "Beg me to fucking kill you!"
"Just fucking do it! Stop drawing it out! Fucking kill me!"
Jessie smiled a genuine, satisfied smile . "I am going to kill you, but it won't be like this . You're going to spend every fucking day wishing I pulled the trigger . " In one quick snap, she cracked the butt of the gun against his head, knocking him out cold .

Dropping to her haunches, she dug around in his pocket and pulled out his cell phone . The screen lit up and I watched her as she dialed some numbers . "Hi, I'd like to report a place called the Canary . The owner is keeping girls hostage and selling them to men . He also murdered a woman named Tabitha . . . " Jessie listed a few more names quickly, hanging up the phone, and dropping it on his chest .
"We should probably go now," I said, taking the gun from her and tucking it back into place .
"Follow me, I know where to go . " Grabbing my wrist, she tugged me along . "There's a back exit, we can go out there . "
Following her through the halls, we took a few turns and exited a hidden door in the back . Jessie kept her eyes open, her senses on high alert as she leads us back to my car .
No one even noticed us .
Not Vin, not any of the other guards, we slipped out as if we hadn't even been there .
Jumping into my car, I started it up and got us out of there as quickly as I could . Jessie was smiling as she rolled down the window and let the wind blow through her hair .
This woman was amazing . She was glowing, her cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink as her smile grew .
And as we passed a cluster of cop cars, driving in the direction we had just come from, Jessie let out a sigh .
"What's wrong?"
"I left my flower there . "
Laughing, I took her hand in mine, bringing it to my lips and kissing the back of her palm . Reaching down, I pulled the crushed flower out from the small pocket in the car door . "No you didn't . "
Jessie's eyes lit up with happiness, making my heart skip a beat . Holding the wilted flower, she leaned over and kissed my cheek .
"Thank you," she said .
"No, thank you . " Braiding out fingers together, I pulled her hand into my lap . "You made me see what's really important, and it's not what I thought it was . "
"What do you mean?"
"Love . You made me see how much it matters . " Jessie's cheeks blushed, the color spreading down her throat and over her chest .
"Are you saying—"
I didn't let her finish . "I'm saying that I love you, Jessie . "
And I did . I loved that girl .
I loved her and I would do anything to keep her safe .
Because sometimes, you find love in the dark .
