Rodeo and The LBJ Crew
Jadyn had always been punctual. The Army did a good job drilling it into her. But today it took more willpower for her not to arrive at the Dog Park too early than on time. She was worried, anticipatory, and aggravated all at once. It was a mess of emotions and she didn’t have the time to sit back and deal with them. She never had time to sit back and deal with them. There were far more important things to focus on, like the safety of the shelter and the survivors within its walls.
They were her priority first and foremost, above even herself.
If it was about herself, Day would have gone to see Gray right after he’d texted her. But she had to consider the bigger picture even if the wait was unbearable. The journey to the Dog Park went without a hitch, but it’d felt much longer than it actually was. They’d arrived at the entrance to the camp at 13:00 exactly. Not a minute too soon; not a minute too late. Given the two ladies under her care, Jadyn had brought along two additional guards in case anything happened. One could never be too safe.
She had promised Gray that she would protect them, so it was what she was going to do. “We’re here,” she announced, stepping out of the vehicle, “Try to stay close to me, alright? At least until we get to Gray.” Her eyes scanned over the perimeter of the wall the Dogs had put up. She had never been this close to it, had never hoped she would be. Her gaze stopped short at the sight of a man in the distance. She was going to take a gander that it was either the Dog King or one of his men. Guess it was time to play nice.
