Matt is grateful that he can't see the look on Cisco's face. It's enough that he can hear the shaky fear in his voice. The uncertainty. Chest heaving he turns, angling his body away from Cisco. "You should call the police. Whatever he was after, he won't stop."

He swallows hard. Swallows again. "I'm sorry. He was going to hurt you or kill you and I couldn't.. I couldn't let that happen." Even if it meant that whatever they had felt, whatever they could have been was over.

"Are you all right?"

[NO worries at all hon. I figured RL was bombarding you and I'll backtag with Cisco forever and ever, so you worry about you and I'll be here when stuff settles!]
