all.”
    “Yeah…” Jake interjected shiftily. “You probably have the twins to thank for that.” He fidgeted in his chair and looked a little uncomfortable as I passed his phone back.
    “Have us to thank for what?” The twins grinned, joining us in the kitchen and making a beeline for the bowl that I’d had the biscuit dough in.
    “Jelly just called Alex,” Jake explained, giving the twins a meaningful look.
    Their faces both fell immediately. I couldn’t decide if they looked contrite or mortified.
    “Shit,” Rick groaned.
    “We’re sorry, Jelly,” Danny winced. “We didn’t mean it. We were just worried about you.”
    “What did you do?” I asked, taking a cautious step back to where Jason was standing.
    “Jelly, honest, we didn’t-” Rick started but I cut him off with an angry wave of my hand.
    Danny sighed resolutely before talking. “We got there first,” he explained. “Ian sent round texts and explained what he’d heard. We were already in town answering a call. We didn’t know much.”
    I listened to him with my eyes narrowed because I suspected I wouldn’t like what he was going to say. Jason held on to my hand tightly, providing physical and emotional support.
    “We were worried about you, Jelly. All we knew was that they’d taken you and Alex had gotten away without a scratch. We were just scared for you,” Rick continued.
    “Tell me you didn’t have a go at him?” I accused, my temper already simmering.
    Their guilty looks told me all I needed to know and I felt myself pushing towards them. Jason reluctantly let go of my hand as I stood in front of them. For the first time in my life, I didn’t care that they were bigger , or stronger, or that there were two of them. I was carrying enough repressed anger to make me into a successful super villain.
    “You morons!” I screamed. “There were two of them and they had guns! What the hell did you expect him to do? He could have gotten killed and how would that have helped me? If he hadn’t gotten away then you might not have found out what had happened for hours. If it wasn’t for Alex, I might not be here right now!”
    The twins shrunk back looking suitably chastised but that wasn’t enough. I’d never ever wanted to hurt my brothers and I’d never wished anything bad upon them but they were testing my limits.
    I’d shouted too much and my head was throbbing again in response. I felt myself grow slightly dizzy as I glared at my idiot brothers.
    “Easy, baby,” Jason soothed, taking me gently by the shoulders and easing me away from the twins to sit on a stool. He handed me a glass of water and one of the pain tablets the doctors had given me because, as usual, he knew what I needed.
    “Thanks,” I mumbled, still shooting daggers at the twins.
    They hovered awkwardly and I sipped at my water whilst I contemplated just how mad at them I was. I figured denying them access to my baked goods would be a good punishment to begin with but it didn’t nearly feel like enough.
    They promised they’d apologise and make it up to him and when he arrived they did just that. Alex seemed a little uncertain and hovered on the threshold a while until I slid off my seat to give him a hug.
    “I’m so sorry, Jellybaby,” he whispered in my ear. “I should never have let them take you.” He trembled a little as I hugged him so I squeezed him tighter.
    I tried to reassure him that I didn’t blame him. I gave him the same speech I’d just given my brothers, but a little gentler. It hadn’t even occurred to me that Alex would feel guilty for not trying to help me.
    “You saved me by getting away, Alex,” I reassured him once he finally stopped shaking.
    As he pulled away, I could see how haunted he looked and it was obvious he hadn’t been handling the situation well which just made me angrier with the twins.
    “We’re really sorry, Alex,” Danny said genuinely. “We were just venting, we shouldn’t have said any of that
