A chill ran through Jess. This was exactly what she'd suspected, but that didn't make it any easier to hear it confirmed. Roxy was in danger because of her.

It all made sense. The knives. The tough attitude. The way Roxy tried to keep her distance as much as possible.

Questions raced through the empath's head, but didn't leave her mouth. There was no way Roxy would answer them, not if she thought it would make things worse... that was, if the anchor really thought it would. How would not knowing keep her any safer?

Finally, she settled on one. [color=teal]"Please, tell me... Is there anything I should know about this? Anything at all? I mean... You say I'll be safer this way, but will you?"[/color] She winced, knowing her words could be taken the wrong way. [color=teal]"Uh, I know you're not one to mess with, but even so..."[/color] She couldn't put all the responsibility on Roxy, not if there was some way she could avoid the threat herself. Even if she tried to stay out of it, as the anchor wanted, it seemed too late for that.
