The minute the plane touched down Nick powered up his phone to send Sam a text, knowing how she worried when anyone she loved was in the air. Before he could finish composing his message to her, the phone beeped with an incoming message.

Tell your girlfriend to back off before she gets hurt.

Nick sat up straighter in the seat and fumbled with the phone, looking for the sender’s number, which was unavailable. He immediately called Sam.

“Hey,” she said. “Did you get there?”

“Babe,” he said, filled with relief at the sound of her voice. “I got a text.” He relayed the message.

“Damn it,” she muttered. “How did he get your number? Unless it’s someone you know who would already have it.”

“Sam! I don’t give a shit how he got my number! What are you going to do about the threat he made against you?”

“I’ve got a tail assigned to me, so don’t worry.”

“Which means this isn’t the first threat.” He gritted his teeth. “You’d better start talking, Lieutenant. Right now.”

“You’ve got enough to deal with today with your mom. I’ll tell you about it when you get back.”

“Samantha, I’m not ending this call until you tell me what the hell is going on.”

“McBride came back with a message for me. Similar to the one you received.”

Nick closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the seat as the plane taxied to the gate. “I never would’ve come here if I’d known that.”

“There’s nothing you can do that’s not being done. Farnsworth put a tail on me.”

“Which I’m sure you objected to.”

“It’s ridiculous! I don’t need two patrolmen following me around like I can’t take care of myself.”

“Samantha, I swear to God, you’re to do exactly what they tell you to do or you’ll answer to me.”

“Oh boy,” she said. “I love when you get all bossy with me like that. It makes me hot.”

“I’m not joking!” he said loudly enough that the people sitting near him on the plane turned to look at him. He lowered his voice. “This isn’t funny. He’s already abducted and done God knows what to one of your detectives. Don’t you dare be so cocky as to think he can’t get to you too.”

“I’m not being cocky, don’t worry.”

“Don’t worry. Right.”

“Can I have permission to dump your cell phone? We might be able to trace the source of the text.”

“Whatever you have to do.”

“Try not to worry. We’re taking every precaution.”

His mind immediately went to the recent day when he’d been absolutely certain she’d been shot in Clarence Reese’s house. In fact, it had been Freddie who’d been shot. Shuddering from the memory, he said, “Not every precaution. If I had my way you’d be locked up somewhere until this freak is found.”

“I’m okay, Nick. I’ll continue to be okay. Focus on your mother and what you’re there to do today. I’ll be waiting for you when you get home.”

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

“I’m not even going to tell you to be careful.”

“I always am. You know that.”

“I’m counting on it.
