him.
    “ Here ’ s what you ’ re going to do, ” he said to me.   “ Tonight,
one of my men will be stationed outside your building.   His name is Cutter.   He ’ s a good guy.   He ’ ll call you
when he ’ s there,
which should be in about twenty minutes or so.   You think I ’ m big?   Wait
until you see him.   Wherever you go,
he or another member of my team will go with you.   Maybe Max — he ’ s
very good.   Is that understood? ”
    “ It ’ s actually a relief. ”
    “ Until I get
back to New York, Cutter is your go-to person.   Share your schedule with him, and either
he or someone else will make certain that you ’ re never alone.   Understood? ”
    “ Yes. ”
    “ What does
Kevin look like now? ”
    I described him to Tank.
    “ Katie is
sending the photo to you tomorrow morning? ”
    “ That ’ s what she said. ”
    “ If you don ’ t have it by morning, call
her.   Then give the photo to
Cutter.   He ’ ll take you to meet the team, and they ’ ll ask you specific questions
that will allow us to craft an accurate composite of what Kevin looks like
today.   Just like the police would
have done for you.   If we ’ re going to find him, it ’ s critical that we have
that composite. ”
    “ Why shouldn ’ t I just go to the police? ”
    “ Because I
want him.   I plan on delivering a
different kind of justice. ”
    “ Tank —”
    “ Please just
do this for me. ”
    “ But I don ’ t want you to get into
trouble. ”
    “ I don ’ t plan to. ”
    “ How are you
going to find him?   There are
millions of people in this city.   We ’ ll never find him. ”
    “ We will find him, ” he
said.   “ And do you know why? ”
    “ Why? ”
    “ Because he ’ s a meth addict.   He ’ ll reveal himself to us without even knowing it.   I have my ways, and you need to trust me
now.   Have you told Blackwell any of
this? ”
    “ Not yet.   I wasn ’ t sure what time she went to bed.   I was planning on telling her everything
tomorrow morning. ”
    “ Make sure she
understands the situation you ’ re
in with Boss, and also with Kevin. ”
    “ I will.   I ’ m so sorry, Tank. ”
    “ Why are you
apologizing?   I asked you not to.   I meant that.   This changes nothing between us. ”
    “ It ’ s just that —”
    “ Lisa, I ’ m in love with you.   I will protect you.   I ’ m a former SEAL.   Do you understand what that means?   Do you know how I ’ ve
been trained?   I hope you do,
because that ’ s who I
am.   Seeking out men like Kevin is
what runs in my blood, especially for someone I love.   I don ’ t judge you for any of this — you need to know that.   I remember what it was like to be
seventeen.   Who the hell knows
anything at seventeen?   He did this to you — not
you.   He took advantage of
you, and now he wants to bilk you for a cool million. That ’ s not happening on my
watch.   OK?   It ’ s not happening. ”
    And that was that.   I ’ d done the right
thing.   I ’ d told him everything.   I ’ d told him about parts of my life that I ’ d forgotten, and he didn ’ t judge me for them.   He did love me.   It was as clear as the anger in his
voice.   I needed to listen to him
now.   And trust him.  
    And so I did.
    “ I ’ m so sorry all of this
happened to you tonight, ” he
said in a softer voice.   “ And here I thought that
tonight was going to be one of the best nights of your life.   I ’ m sick that that didn ’ t happen for you.   I ’ m sick that
I can ’ t be there with
you.   I hope you know that. ”
    “ I can feel
you from here. ”
    “ Cutter will
be there in twenty minutes — just
as soon as I call him.   I ’ ll also call the doorman
and let him know that there ’ s
a situation, and that Cutter and others will be on site to make certain that
you ’ re safe.   I might be far away from you in
distance, but not in heart.   I will
protect you from this. ”
    “ I love
