The Keeper Read Online Free PDF

And even then, from what her father said, it was unlikely any of them would believe her either.  There had been another Keeper once.  She had been killed before the Protectors had found her.  They took their own lives when they discovered her body.  That had been over a thousand years ago.  
                  “Sooo…   You wanna get out of here?”  He asked innocently enough that she had to look over at him to decide exactly what he was asking.  She didn’t like what she saw.  He wasn’t an immortal, but he had a dark side.  She saw it for just a second.  It was just a flash in his innocent-looking hazel eyes.   She had to get out of here -away from him , but she was afraid she wasn’t going to be able to do it without making a scene. 
                  “No.  I have to be at work early tomorrow.”  She smiled at him, hoping he didn’t know that she knew he was evil.  Funny she didn’t pick up on that before .  It must have been the reason Donovan didn’t like him.  She rose and dug into her pocket for her cash.  She threw enough to cover her tab and a tip on the bar and yelled goodbye to Sam.  Sam waved without turning around. 
                  Seth’s hand clamped down on her wrist as she turned to go.  He stood and whispered into her ear.  “I’ll walk you to your car.”  He smiled at her then and her warning bells went off.  “Just walk.  Don’t wanna cause a scene in here now do you?” 
                  L ex wondered briefly if Seth had read her mind.  She looked around, smiled and turned to face him.  Figuring it was probably better to make a scene here than leave with Seth, she shrugged her shoulders.  “Here’s as good a place as any I suppose.”    She brought her knee up hard into his groin.  He fell to his knees but didn’t let go of her wrist.  If anything he tightened his grip .  She twisted her wrist trying to break free, but it was no use.    
                  Lex sighed.  This was going to get ugly.  She looked around again.  They didn’t even have anyone’s attention yet.  She swung with her free hand and caught him in the ear.  That did it.  He released her to grab the side of his head and she stepped back and kicked him in the chest.  Damn, he was tougher than he looked.  She could shoot him, but that would be very bad.  She could stab him, but that probably wouldn’t be much better.  The last time she had stabbed a guy her dad took her bike for a month.  He stood and grabbed her by the hair.  She yelped and grabbed at his hands.  That got Dwayne’s attention.  Thank you God!  
                  Dwayne was six-six and over three hundred pounds of muscle and meanness all rolled into one scary looking bouncer.  His skin was the color of dark chocolate .  His eyes were black as coal and he had a smile that could light up a room.  His smile alone transformed his face from menacing to angelic.  Yeah, he didn’t smile much here.  Dwayne was working his way over, but Seth was dragging her toward the back door.  Dwayne wasn’t going to make it through the crowd in time to help her.  Oh, well.  She put on the brakes and fell to the floor, forcing Seth to release her or go down with her.  She swung a leg out and caught him in the knee.  He yelled and grabbed a guy in a cowboy hat to keep from falling.  From there Seth was pushed into a blond woman with a linebacker for a date.  The linebacker went after the cowboy.  Someone broke a beer bottle on the bar and it was an all out riot.  Lex debated sneaking out the back, but felt a little bad for Dwayne.  She decided to stick around a little longer.  Dwayne might need help.  He would never hit a woman.  Lex didn’t have that little problem.  She had pulled more than one woman off Dwayne’s back through the years. 
     
                  Jed was starting to get worried.  Lex wasn’t answering her
