Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa and Jasper grew solemn in front of the serious-looking Cyrus. “Cyrus, go ahead.”

“You’re well known as a couple who seek justice and fight for what’s right.”

“Cyrus was just teasing us! How could you make me shoulder his taunts while you act like the humble one?” Squinting, she playfully elbowed Jasper.

“I didn’t tease you. I meant it.” Growing serious, Cyrus explained, “The two victims killed today by the man who held Lauren hostage were members of a school bullying group.”
