It was the middle of the night and Savvy couldn’t sleep.

HQ was quiet. Everyone else, including King, had gone to bed ages ago.

Savvy had spent the rest of her day with the team, and she’d enjoyed herself the entire time, which was strange. She was supposed to be hiding out at HQ, but she hadn’t gotten much of an opportunity to socialize these past few years, especially with real people who didn’t want something from her. She’d loved learning more about them and spending time with King had been priceless.

Her phone buzzed, and she picked it up off the nightstand.

Still up?

Savvy didn’t recognize the number. It wasn’t in her contacts list.

Who is this?

You know who I am.

Tell me. Savvy didn’t have time for games. This was a private cell phone, and she guarded it zealously. Had one of her friends gotten a new number?

I missed you the other night. You left the hotel.

Because somebody shot at her.

Chills raced down her spine. Was this the stalker? Or the shooter? Savvy had a feeling the hitman wouldn’t announce his presence with a text message. Crazy pants it is.

Did you send me the flowers?

You know I did.

How did you get this number?

A friend of yours gave it to me.

You’re lying. Savvy scrambled out of her bed, holding onto the phone gingerly as though it were a bomb.

I never lie. Have you been thinking about me too?

She shuddered.

It was ridiculous, she knew he wasn’t here in the room with her, but his messages popping up on her personal cell phone was unnerving. He’d violated her space, inserted himself into her bedroom at night.

Savvy didn’t know what to do, answer him, and try to get another clue? Ignore the messages? Scream for King?

It seemed ridiculous to sound the alarm for some text messages. Anyway, whomever the stalker was, was clever enough to cover his tracks, so she doubted they’d get any evidence on his whereabouts from the phone.

Tell me.

Savvy didn’t respond.

You don’t want to make me angry, do you?

She swallowed.

Answer me.

Savvy was frozen, unsure of how to respond.

If you don’t, I’ll make you sorry. I love you and you treat me like dirt. I can’t take this anymore.

Savvy never should’ve replied in the first place.

She sprinted down the hall to King’s bedroom. She frantically knocked on the door, until it swung open. King was in his boxer shorts, and he was bleary-eyed. Unfortunately, she was too upset to appreciate the delicious view.

“What’s going on? Are you all right?”

In answer, she shoved the phone at him, at a complete loss for words.

He scrolled through the text messages, his eyes widening with each swipe of his thumb.

“He stopped textin’ you.”

She blew out a breath.

King carefully pulled out the battery, and the SIM card. “We're gonna hand this over to Stormy tomorrow morning. Maybe he can get somethin’ from it. Although, I doubt it.”

“I’m sorry, I should’ve told you sooner.”

“Don’t worry about it. We’re gonna nail this bastard. It’s only a matter of time.”

Savvy nodded, although she wasn’t feeling sure of anything at the moment.
