When he whirled her around, she immediately swung her free arm at him. Letting go of the worry about what to say, Justin picked up speed and caught her arm just as she reached the door. It did seem a good idea to stop her before she actually left the building, though, and at that moment she was racing through the last hall, flying past the chapels and columbaria, headed for the exit. The problem was, Justin didn't have a clue what those right words were and he was running out of time. He couldn't convince her to be his life mate if she was terrified or suspicious of him. He wanted to do it right the first time, calm her quickly, and gain her trust. He wanted to work out how to explain things before he caught up. That ought to be interesting, he thought unhappily, and his worrying over that made him move more slowly than he could have. He'd have to calm her, and then somehow explain that he wasn't some murderous bastard destroying evidence of his dastardly work. He would have a lot of explaining to do once he caught up. The thought made Bricker frown as he went after her.
But then panic could be one hell of a motivation and he had no doubt what she'd seen had raised panic in her.
She was quick, he noted with admiration on reaching the hall to see her disappearing through the door at the other end. maybe millennia, and Justin had no desire to wait millennia to experience what it was like to have a life mate. If he lost her, he wouldn't be likely to find another for centuries. Finding a life mate this early in life was pretty damned rare. He couldn't read her, and that might mean she could be a life mate for him.
He'd be damned if he was going to let her get away. The closing of the door to the hall told him Anders was right before he could turn to see that she was no longer in the room.
