Everyone familiar is Janet's.

Stephanie doesn't want me knowing she's reluctant to leave Rangeman unless I'm along or my men are tailing her. She hated to admit that while Crux may not have touched her, he did fuck with her head a little, making her question our daughter's safety outside of 'Fort Uncle' ... as she now calls my building.

"How about we take Olivia to the park?" I asked.

Fall is Steph's favorite season and today is mild despite what the multi-colored leaves indicated. She wants to go, but is still uneasy.

"It'll be fine, Babe. Tank can watch our backs if that'll make you feel better."

"It's stupid, isn't it?"

"No. You're putting our daughter's safety first. I can't love you more for doing that."

I was the one left unsettled. I took a call, but still noticed two twenty-something dick-thinkers deciding a baby isn't a deterrent when held by a beautiful woman. A deliberate glimpse of my gun ended their flirting, but Steph's smile at my display of jealousy had me wanting to shoot them to cause a wider one.
