Chapter 307-The Missing Boyfriend Of My Friend.

"So what are we doing again?" I asked Lamar as he kept texting someone.
"I’m asking around to see if anyone has seen Gavin recently," he said, making me walk briskly after him through the dark streets of the nearly abandoned pack area. This particular pack we had come to was near the place where I had once gone to get a job with him.
It wasn’t light yet, but the dark clouds had filled the sky, making it seem darker. The atmosphere felt heavy. My eyes shifted to the men coming in our direction. I was sure they were going to walk past us, but the way they were looking me up and down, I had a bad feeling they might do something mischievous as they passed by.
"Hey, what? Haven’t seen a girl before?" Just when I thought Lamar wasn’t paying attention, the minute the men got close, he stretched his arm back to pull me to the other side and gave a grunt at them.
"We were just looking," one of the drunk men shrugged, not wanting to get in trouble with Lamar, who looked ready to fight.
"Then keep walking," Lamar yelled at them in annoyance. My posture straightened, confidence filling my veins now that I felt safe with Lamar.
"Don’t worry, I’m not a spineless creature. I’m not going to repeat my mistake of not protecting my sister this time," without turning to look at me, he made sure I knew he had my back.
"I know," I pinched his elbow playfully, but our path was interrupted by a woman stepping forward.
