It was strange how Kit had left my side and suddenly I had a nightmare. As if even asleep I depended on his safety beside me.

"I'm sorry—"

"I need you to come with me to Delta today, okay?"

I frowned, "Why?"

"I wanna show you something."

"Just tell me."

"Not until we get there," he answered, getting up to go into the bathroom.

What the actual fuck?

I got ready quickly afterwards so that we could leave straight away. In the car, I did my best to eat a breakfast bar whilst Kit sat in complete silence. It seemed like forever getting there and when we finally did I latched onto my seat as a masked man came out of the security house to inspect the car. I felt Kit's fingers pulling at my hand on the seat, and I looked at him as he threaded his fingers with mine, until the masked man was finished.

Once parkedup I got out of the car and didn't wait for Kit, I headed into the building and froze when a group of armed, masked Delta men surrounded me on their way out of the building. I stood completely still, almost shaking as they all peered at me and left. I felt hands on me and I jumped before Kit spoke into my ear.

"Training, they're just training," he said.

"Why are they fully dressed with the masks on?" I asked once they'd fully left.

"The masks aren't easy to wear when you're in combat, so when we can, we train fully geared so we can get used to it."

I nodded, still feeling nervous after seeing them. Taking my hand, Kit led me past the front desk and I recognised the woman there from my last visit. She beamed at Kit and offered me a smile but Kit was moving so fast I didn't have time to react. He pulled me down another corridor, one I hadn't been to before and through a set of double doors. I was shocked to see Jax walking towards us. He looked just as confused as me and he eyed us both before smiling.

"Hey," he said and I said it back.

"Do you know where Jerry is?" Kit asked and Jax looked straight at me, then back at Kit.

"He's in his office, I think."

"Thanks, we'll see you later," Kit said before taking me with him again.

"Who's Jerry?" I asked but before Kit could answer he knocked on a door and we both heard a guy telling us to come in.

He had a strange accent from what I could hear, but once Kit opened the door and I heard him greet him, I realised it was an African accent.

"This is Eve," Kit said, looking at me and I smiled as Jerry came closer and gently held my hand.

"It's so good to finally meet you, Madam," he said, shaking my hand.

I loved the way he spoke, but I was still at a loss as to who the hell this was.

"I'm Jerry. I'm the psychiatrist here at Delta."

I stared at Kit then, knowing exactly why he'd brought me here and as my body filled with anger he reasoned with me only with his eyes. I shook my head, looking at the floor and tried to conceal my anger long enough to apologise to Jerry and excuse myself. Naturally, Kit rushed after me, standing in front of me in the hall.

"Woah, Woah." He raised his hands in the air like I was an out of control horse he was trying to calm down.

"Why would you bring me to him?" I questioned him. "You know I hate having my mind dug up, I told you!"

"Listen to me, please."

"No, Kit," I answered adamantly and I tried walking around him again.
