Run – Chapter 11
Once a wolf, always a wolf.
The rise and fall of Bruce’s chest lulled her and for the first time since they left Kenzi and Lauren, Bo had actually stopped crying.
”Do you remember in Istanbul when I told you the story of Layla and Majnun?”
Bo nodded. She pulled Bruce closer feeling the tears returning. ”The star crossed lovers? Not comforting.”
”Majnun searched the world for his love, and when he found her at last, Layla’s husband took pity on them. He allowed them to meet as long as a guardian accompanied them. They could not touch, nor stand closer than a few feet.”
Bo lifted her red-rimmed eyes to look at Bruce, pleading for him to stop.
”Majnun was my friend.” He met Bo’s surprised look with a gentle, soothing smile. ”Yes, I was there.”
Bo nestled closer, fearing how the story would end.
”The legends say one thing, but I know the truth. Majnun did not go mad because he couldn’t be with Layla—although I’m sure that was frustrating. He went mad because he could not bring himself to say out loud, I love you. He feared it would cause Layla more pain. He kept it to himself and it ate at him. When Layla died, Majnun died, too. But I think he stopped living long before that.” Bruce squeezed Bo’s shoulder. ”Is that what you want?”
Lauren’s eyes burned and blinked repeatedly to keep the slide under the microscope in focus. Resting was not an option. The lab had always been her sanctuary and thank god she finally had enough water and soil samples to begin running tests. Kenzi cuddled up to the Cambodian hooch; Lauren drowned her sorrows in science. She suddenly felt the hairs on her arms stand on end and wasn’t surprised to hear Kenzi’s voice behind her, sounding more lucid than she expected.
”I got a package for ya, HotPants.”
Lauren kept her eyes on the microscope. ”I’m kinda in the middle of something. Mouse. Just leave it on the counter.”
”It’s not that kind of delivery.”
Lauren rolled her eyes, not really in the mood for games. In truth, she came into the lab to be alone. She turned to give Kenzi a firm but polite—
”I got as far as Hong Kong before I realized I made a terrible mistake.” There in the doorway stood Bo dressed in head to toe leather, her exposed skin glistening with sweat.
