Jade's POV
I let go of his hand and stared at the drink in front of me.
"If I wanted you to kill you I would have done it by now." Jax joked.
"Trust me I would kill you before you could even blink."
"Fine. I'll take the first sip to show you it's not poisoned."
He grabbed the drink and took a sip.
After he put it down he visibly swallowed on purpose.
"See. It's not poisoned." He said.
I grabbed the drink in my hand
I hesitated but drank it.
He smiled and began to sip his drink as well.
I opened my laptop and turned it back on.
"What are you doing on your laptop?" He asked.
"I'm just looking for a job."
"You don't have one?"
"If I did I wouldn't be looking for one."
He crossed his arms over his chest and pouted. "Rude."
I rolled my eyes. "I just moved here."
"Your last name sounds familiar to me."
"Holt?"
"Yeah. I swear I've heard people take about it."
"My dad's name is James Holt."
"Oh yeah. Didn't he lead a rescue team?"
I nodded. "He did but that was years ago."
"It must be an honor to have his name and be related to him."
"It was an honor before he led his rescue." I glared
"You got defensive."
I shook away the glare. "Yeah sorry. I get that way a lot."
"Why?"
"I just do."
"Sorry. But it still must be great."
"It is. I love him."
We stayed silent for a moment.
Our coffees were halfway gone.
"So what's up with your name?" I broke the silence.
"What do you mean?"
"I told you my last name but I don't know your last name."
"There's a reason."
"Are you--" I paused and my eyebrows furrowed
"What?" He asked. "Is there something on my face?"
"Actually yeah."
There was a red dot on his temple.
It was moving slightly but it did not leave his temple.
It looked like a flashlight.
He wiped his face with his hands.
"Did I get it?" He asked.
I didn't answer.
I looked out the window while trying to follow the source of the faint light.
It lead to a person on a roof across the street.
A sniper.
I looked back at Jax with wide eyes.
"What?" His eyebrows furrowed.
