Remus Read Online Free PDF Page B

front of her bench. She was surprised to see Titus alone and had half-expected that he would be driven around by one of the men. It only showed his dedication to keeping Rem safe.
    She rose and walked down the street a bit, the sedan trailing behind. She stopped when she arrived at another bench and her truck.
    To most on the block, it would look like she was meeting a huge Native American man. With sunglasses on his eyes, it was hard to pick him apart from a non-hybrid. Though it did occur to her that despite their more low-profile media approach in recent months and a haircut, Titus might still be recognizable from earlier TV appearances. There weren’t many men who could measure up to his size.
    He sat down next to her and placed a large sack between them.
    “You wouldn’t believe the looks I got when I asked for his bedding and clothes,” he said quietly and looked over to her. “It’s to mask your scent you know.”
    She nodded and took a sip of her coffee to hide the surfacing blush. It hadn’t exactly been the easiest text to send, but Rem seemed so serious about the scent thing, and he was rarely serious like that.
    “How did he look?” Titus asked. He watched up and down the street, likely looking out for anyone that might take note of them there.
    Jenna opened her mouth to say fine but stopped. He hadn’t really looked fine.
    “Tired,” she said finally. It was the best description she had.
    Titus nodded and seemed to understand.
    She set her coffee to the side and pulled out the slip of paper Rem had given her. Jenna placed it in Titus’s hand. She hadn’t read it despite wanting to. Rem hadn’t intended for her to see the paper, and she wouldn’t break that trust.
    Titus opened the paper and read what was on it. He gave a short nod and then placed it in his pocket.
    Jenna tried to get some sort of reading off of his face, but it was like stone.
    “How is your uncle doing?” he asked.
    Jenna glanced away. She couldn’t let on about his retirement until he was ready to make it known. Maybe he would still change his mind. It wasn’t like he had much else to be doing.
    “Getting better every day,” she said and looked over to him. “Well enough to fight me for his cup of coffee.”
    Titus chuckled. “He’s got a lot of spirit.”
    She nodded. He did have spirit, and everything in her believed that he would be himself soon.
    “We believe we’ve sniffed out anyone that might not have our best interest at heart,” Titus ground out as he continued to watch around them. “At least the government is being cooperative this time, especially since they were the ones to fuck this all up.”
    “And Woods?” she said.
    His fists tightened in his lap, anger radiating off of him.
    “So far, Woods has been able to wiggle out of any proof that would find him on the wrong side of all this,” Titus said. “But he’ll slip up one of these times, and when he does, we’ll be there to catch him.”
    “I told Rem about the repaired fence. He says that you need to make sure everyone is combat ready,” she said and looked over to him. Titus ceased his scouting to look over at her. “He didn’t say, but I got the feeling there were more than a few Glycons there with him.”
    Titus sighed and stared straight ahead. She could see through the corner of his glasses as he closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again.
    “We’re stretched so thin right now. With half of your uncle’s men gone, we’re down even more,” he said tightly. “We’re counting on Rem more than ever.”
    Jenna frowned. That didn’t make sense. Rem had returned to get information about the history of the hybrids, some book in particular. How was he going to help by getting a book about their past? Unless there was some super-secret weapon none of them were aware of, it didn’t seem like much use in combat.
    She opened her mouth to say as much when a truck full of men drove by slowly.
    “That’s the third time,”
