ARLO

Apparently it wasn’t just the police that had been alerted. In under ten minutes, my living room was bursting at the seams. Along with myself, Simon and two officers, there were all three of my bandmates, their security details, Ollie and our new manager, Betty.

Simon and Rhys had busied themselves making tea for everyone, but now we were all sat clutching steaming mugs, listening to Detective Catchpole.

“Unfortunately our hands are tied,” he was saying, an apologetic note in his voice. “Our forensics department hasn’t detected any identifying matter on the letters. Whoever this is, they’re smart. Far more intelligent than your average stalker.”

“Great,” I muttered. Was I supposed to be flattered by that?

Kai squeezed my knee, no doubt sensing my frustration. He and Silas had sandwiched me between them, like they were worried someone might be about to snatch me at any moment.

“How did he get around the security systems?” Betty demanded. Our new manager was a force of nature. In her fifties and all of five foot two, she was the ultimate mother hen when it came to the four of us.

And if anything happened to threaten our safety or happiness? Then our hen transformed into a rabid pit bull.

After two shite managers in a row, we finally seemed to have hit the jackpot.

“He managed to scale the fence somehow and evade the perimeter alarms,” Simon said, tapping away at his laptop. “But we have a camera over the front door. There’s no way he would’ve been able to access the letterbox without that picking him up.”

“How do you know it’s a man?” Silas asked curiously.

Everyone who’d read the letters looked at me before darting their gaze away. I sighed, answering his question. “He’s been very sexually explicit in his writing. Talks about his cock like it’s a person. Really fucking weird.”

Silas shuddered. “Gross. We won’t let him get to you though. Don’t worry.”

I wished I had his confidence.

We fell silent as we waited for Simon to finish checking the feed. After more tapping, he cursed quietly under his breath. “He knows where the cameras are.”

Turning the screen, we all watched as the figure dressed all in black kept his face deliberately turned away from the lens. The peak of a black cap poked out from his hoody, offering even more protection for his face.

“Fuck,” I muttered in frustration, slumping back on the sofa.

“We’ll install more cameras,” Dylan said, leaning over Simon’s shoulder. “Make sure all angles are covered.”

“He must’ve watched them being installed,” Ollie said, rubbing a hand over his chin.

Everyone turned to Ollie, but it was me who asked the question. “How do you know that?”

Ollie gestured at Simon to wind the clip back to the start. “Look how he turns his head away at the last second. And he jumps—here, and here. I’m guessing that’s where the sensors for the perimeter alarms are?”

Simon’s lips were pursed as he nodded in confirmation.

“He had to have watched the installation happen,” Ollie said. “It’s the only thing that explains how he knows where everything is.
