Shattered Justice (2011)
“THIS SEEMED LIKE SUCH A GOOD IDEA YESTERDAY, as Dan looked into Shelby’s imploring eyes. Now?
Now it was a truly rotten idea.
Probably because the eyes he was looking into now were about as far from Shelby’s as it got.
Sure, they were blue. But where Shelby’s eyes glowed with warmth, these baby blues were pure ice. Crater Lake in January.
And hard? They made obsidian seem soft and cuddly.
Dan could hardly believe those eyes belonged to a kid. But then, like Shelby said, Jayce hadn’t had much of... a chance to be a kid.
When Shelby had introduced them, Jayce didn’t say a word. He just stood there, hands stuffed in his pockets, those icy eyes fixed on Dan, watching. When Shelby walked away, saying she’d give them some time to get acquainted, Dan tried to read the boy’s reaction. He looked like a rabbit about to bolt.
Either that, or a predator about to strike.
Dan was sure of this much: Jayce Dalton had a chip on his shoulder the size of Mount St. Helens. But who could blame him?MoreLess
