" Summer, Beth, and one of his ranch hands, Pete, came in with the Army medic bag.
“What the hell?” Pete gaped at Jenna.
Jenna opened her eyes wide and screamed, “No more!” She tried to get up from the bed, but couldn’t even manage to get her arms under her.
“Get out,” Jack shouted at Pete. He put a calming hand on Jenna’s head, encouraging her to lie down, and leaned close to her ear. “You’re all right. No one will hurt you. Stay still. You’re hurting yourself, baby. Please, stay still.”
Summer and Beth stood like toy soldiers at the foot of the bed. As he spoke, Jenna’s body relaxed and Jack’s knotted muscles unwound.
Pete left the room as ordered and Beth went after him. Jack overheard them on the stairs.
“What the hell was that all about? I ain’t never seen Jack look that way, or yell at me like that.”
“I know, Pete. I don’t know who that woman is, but Jack won’t let anyone near her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Did you see her back? What did that to her?”
“Not what. Who.” Jack heard Pete’s furious words, “A man. And if Jack gets his hands on the scum, he’ll kill him.”
Amen, Jack thought.

-Pete, Jenna, Jack, & Beth "
