I f you cross the line, Jay said, you can’t ever go back. You don’t know what you’re asking. You’re not a killer.

Kendra’s eyes blazed. I’ve already killed. Have you forgotten?

I haven’t forgotten you went into a depression. You weren’t yourself for weeks. You didn’t eat, you tossed and turned all night. When you finally got to sleep, you’d wake up screaming. I haven’t forgotten. Maybe you have.

I’ve been to therapy. I’m fine now.

When’s the last time you went?

I talked to her online last night. I’m good.

You just went through another trauma.

Now you’re an expert on mental health?

I’m an expert on you. I know when you’re upset.

I told you, I’m good. I need to get closure on this. Tara has to pay, and I need to do it. I got over Vasquez, I can get over her.

It’s not the same thing. You were defending yourself when you killed Vasquez. You can’t kill someone in cold blood. That’s not you, baby.

It’s not me? Or not who you want me to be? Has anyone ever tried to kill you?

Baby—

She lowered her voice. Answer the question. Has anyone tried to kill you?

No. Not that I know of.

It’s happened to me twice in the last month. I never bothered either of them, and they tried to end me. You have no idea what it’s like.

Call for War Room. Sam and Rico can handle this. You don’t need to do it.

She jumped off the bed and ignored the pain in her stomach. There you go again. You think I’m weak.

I wouldn’t be with a weak woman. You think I don’t want to kill her myself?

She was breathing so hard her stitches were pulling. Shit! She pressed her hand to her stomach.

You need to sit down.

Don’t tell me what to do. I can take care of myself.

"Am I allowed to catch you if you fall? Huh? Should I just pick you up off the floor? Or maybe I should just let you stay there until you can get up on your own?

She glared at him. I can take care of myself.

I heard you the first time.

You can’t fix everything, Jay.

You think I don’t know that? You don’t want me or anyone else to help you. Sam and Rico will take care of it.

Why? I should let the men handle it? You want me barefoot and pregnant, too?

Now you’re talking crazy. Have I ever treated you like I think I’m better than you? It’s not about whether you can, it’s about whether you should. It’s business, baby. There’s a chain of command.

I need to do it myself.

Jay folded his arms. No, you don’t need another body on you. You let us handle Tara.

"I am a grown ass woman. You don’t tell me what
