She curled her fingers through his. “Yeah. I need some more coffee.”

“How did Greg get involved today?”

Kelsey frowned. “He showed up when I was walking to my car.”

“I didn’t know you two were friends.” Adrian hated the idea of Greg around Kelsey.

“We’re not. He’s been showing up here and at work asking me out.”

“Does he do that often? Just show up?”

She thought about it. “For the last week or so. He came by with coffee and has asked me out a few times.”

“You said he was at the animal shelter. When was that?”

“He gave me a ride home when my car… Oh my goodness. He was there both times. Why didn’t I pay attention to that?”

“What?”

“Greg was at the shelter when I went out to the parking lot and saw two of my tires were flat and he was here this morning.”

“Dammit! You need to stay away from him. I don’t know what his game is, but whatever he’s planning isn’t good.”

Kelsey shivered. “Do you think he cut my tires?”

“It’s possible. How did he end up at the shelter this morning? He told me you asked him to come by.”

“He offered. I wasn’t thinking clearly. I had just found out that you were sleeping in your car, and it was all my fault. I was devastated and not thinking clearly. He said he would help out and go get you. Did you ride here with him?”

“Heck no. The guy’s a dick and it’s obvious that he’s targeted you.”

She stopped walking and looked directly at him. “Why me? What does he want?”

Adrian shook his head. “I’m not sure, but I’m going to find out.” He needed to tell her what was going on with him. “I think he might be looking for something. Before I left the team house, my room had been torn apart. I thought it was the guys being assholes.”

“Why?”

He shrugged. “My car was also broken into and searched, and all my stuff thrown around.”

“Are you sure it’s him and he’s looking for something?”

“No, but it makes sense. Someone also tried to attack me in the locker room. The man was wearing a facemask so I couldn’t see who it was. He demanded I tell him where it was.”

“What? Adrian, you could have been killed!” Kelsey hugged him. “We need to tell the police.”

“There isn’t anything they can do about it now. You need to be careful around Greg. He could be dangerous.”

“We need to find out what he wants.”

“I’ll find out. You need to stay out of it.”

She glared at him. “No way, caveman. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. And he’s obviously after me for a reason so I’m involved whether you want me to be or not.”

“Okay, tough girl. Let’s get some breakfast.”
