It's time they know how serious what they did to Julie and I is."James leaned closer, his eyes echoing the iron intent in Brian's stare. "We have the upper hand now, Brian.

She remembered the Brian she had known for years, a sweet and quiet guy, sometimes overshadowed by her loud family. But the Brian she had seen in the preceding several months was a different person entirely, a guy of steadfast drive and unflinching bravery."What could have caused such a drastic change in him?"
