“Well then, cancel the event, Char. I don’t care how many tickets have been sold. She’s not doing it.”

I’m pacing the small living room of what used to be my apartment, so claustrophobic after living in Bree’s huge Hollywood Hills estate for a month. My accelerated heart rate, thanks to Clinton’s call a few minutes ago, only intensifies the closed-in feeling.

“Zack, this event has been booked for close to a year. We can’t cancel it—it’s being televised. This isn’t just a concert. Too many people are involved to back out now. And I’ve already canceled the rest of her events, even her headline spot at the Moonlight Festival in Salt Creek.”

“Come on, Char. I know how this works. Singers are always postponing or canceling events because they’re exhausted or stressed out. That’s nowhere near as good of a reason as this.”

I pause to take a breath, a pointless attempt to calm down. But at least I stop yelling. I don’t want to upset Brianna again. She lost it when Clinton called. Now she’s lying down in my old room resting.

“Someone was in her house,” I continue calmly. “They were in her room. Some sicko was in her most private place. Someone who has nothing but terrible plans they’ve written down and sent to her. Do you know how terrified she is? I’ve never seen her like this. She can’t perform. There’s no way.”

Char remains silent for a while, taking in my words. Absorbing them for the truth they hold.

When Clinton confirmed there’d definitely been an intruder while we were at her watch-party, Brianna lost it. And it fucking scared me. She went almost blank, void of any emotion, staring straight ahead. I led her to my room and helped her lie down. I sat with her until Char finally called, trying to do damage control.

How in the hell do you control this kind of damage?

There’s only one plan on my mind: get her out of this town. Somewhere no one will think to look for her.

“Okay, Zack. I’ll see what I can do on my end, but it won’t be easy. I know this is deep. Clinton gave me all the specifics, and it’s now an official investigation. He’s combing the security video, but it might take a while. There’re hours to go through for each angle. He has the last letter, plus all the newest evidence the intruder left at her house. What do you need from me?”

I breathe a huge sigh. I was worried Char would focus on the bottom line, not on what was safest for Brianna.

“I need you to go to her house and pack her a bag. Comfortable clothes suitable for the outdoors, and plenty of them. Stay with her when you get here while I go pack my own. I don’t want her going back there until she’s ready.”

“Where are you taking her?” Char sounds worried.

“I think that’s best left between Brianna and me. I’ll quote you from the first day I met you— ‘the less people who know, the better.
