Part 4
The woman just looked at him. Then her voice not much louder than a whisper she said “yes.” She cleared her throat, “yes I’m fine.”
Jesse nodded, “the cops should be here any second. Can you go out the front and tell them they are okay to enter?”
She nodded but didn’t move.
Realising shock was setting in, Jesse tried to reassure her, “my name’s Jesse, what’s yours?”
“Kayla” she answered almost automatically, her eyes drifting off to stare vacantly across the room.
“Kayla, look at me” he ordered and when he saw her eyes focus on his again he said “you’re safe now, it’s all over, okay?”
A shudder passed through her. She nodded “okay.”
“Good, now you go outside and wait for the police, yeah?”
He watched her nod again then rub her hands over her face as she slowly stepped around the counter and walked outside.
Relieved, Jesse focused back on the guy beneath him and frowned as he started up another tirade. Shoving his knee into the guys back he said “for god sake, shut the hell up.”
Kayla sounds like she had a lucky escape
