“Yes,sir.”
The two men in black quickly hauled the middle aged man away
Halsey glanced at Dwight before turning to walk off
Dwight lengthened his strides following closely behind her
Halsey quickened her pace hoping to lose him in the crowd However Dwight s longlegs kept him right on her heels
Stop following me she snapped
She burst out of the casino and into the open air but in her rush she twisted her ankle and collapsed to the ground
Halsey mentally cured herself It seemed like everything was going wrong today she couldn t catch a break
Sitting on the ground she heard a low smooth voice from above Are you okay
Lookingup, shesawDwightstandingoverher.ShewassittingonthepavementwhileDwightstoodtall,forcinghertotiltherheadbacktolookathim.
He extended a hand toward her Here
He was offering to help her up

Before she could try again Dwight grabbed her slender armand as easily as if she were a child lifted her from the ground

Dwight shrugged What is there to say
Halsey shot back What do you think
Dwightpartedhislipsslightly.”Idon’thaveanythingtosay.I’mbusyrightnow.Don’tcomelooking forme again.Gohome.”
With that Dwight turned to walk away
But he didn t get far A soft little hand reached out and grabbed his sleeve
Dwight s steps halted He stood still for a few seconds not turning around clearly wanting to leave
But the handheld tightly on to his sleeve stopping him from walking away
He cleared his throat Let go
Halsey shook her head I don t want to

Her eyes were filled with confusion and disappointment She just couldn t understand why he had chosen this life She needed
ananswer.
Dwight looked at her and remained silent
Halseycontinued,”Idon’tlikethisplace.Comeawaywithme.Youwanttomakemoney,right?I’mnotgoodat studying;I’llpayyoutobemytutor.Howaboutit?”
Dwight gently pulled her hand away Thanks but no thanks
Heturnedtoleave.
But just as he did Halsey suddenly threw herself at him wrapping her arms tightly around his back
Dwight s body stiffened his muscles locking up from the unexpected contact
Halsey clung to him her voice full of determination
