 They stepped out the door, and Colt buttoned up his suit jacket. The sidewalk was wide, and there were quite a few people walking around the area. Someone—a guy who made the hair on the back of Colt’s neck stand up—cut in front of Mal. Mal was forced to sidestep around the guy, a move that also separated him from Colt. Another guy grabbed Colt’s arm. “Hey, I know you.” A chill ran through Colt; he knew that voice. “No, I n-never met—” He was in the middle of the sidewalk with people walking by, but all alone. “Yeah,” The guy got his face right into Colt’s and sneered. “You have.” Mal twisted around, got into position behind the guy, and barked, “Hey!” One of the private security guys dodged around the other man and was at Colt’s side. Mal pulled the guy away from Colt, forcing him to let go of Colt’s arm, then stepped between them. He turned to the side, fists bunched. His presence and ability to project an intimidating stance sent a sense of security coursing through Colt. “Is there a problem here?” The security man—Frank, Colt remembered was his name—spoke quietly but with an undertone of menace. When Mal reached around Frank and took Colt’s arm, Colt glanced at Mal and edged a little closer to him. “The car is this way.” The man with the familiar voice tried to move in again, but Frank blocked him and put one hand out. “If you want to give me a number or email where Mr. Kensington’s office can contact you, I’ll pass it along. But please keep your distance.” The other private security man—Colt couldn’t remember his name—opened the SUV door, and Mal pushed Colt ahead of him into the vehicle. Frank got into the front seat, and his partner slid into the car parked behind them and would follow them. Colt peered out the window and watched the people moving about on the sidewalk. The thug who’d grabbed Colt flipped the car off, turned away, and stalked down the street with his friend right beside him. “Are you all right?” Mal’s voice cracked, and he locked his hand onto Colt’s wrist.
