CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Ipaced around my bedroom, my fists clenched. My gut said the message was from the red-haired stalker—and there was the raised middle finger profile page, again, with the exact same image as last time. That damn asshole shithead knew what town I lived in. I grabbed my phone and typed in a message to the house group text.

Sally: House meeting tonight. When we’re all here at the same time, I want to bring everyone up to date on my situation.

Then I texted Hazel and invited her to come too. She was at the house at least a few times a week and I wanted her prepared.

Kate: Shit, sounds serious. I’ll be there in twenty.

Dillan: Here.

Antonio: Yes, we need to know these things.

Layla: Picking up Forest now then we’ll be there.

Hazel: Um, okay. Do you have some work for me?

Thirty minutes later we all gathered in the upstairs family room, which actually had furniture. Forest and Layla took one side of the cream sectional sofa and Antonio and Kate took the other, with Amber in the middle. Hazel sat on the floor by the fireplace. Dillan sat on the ottoman that I’d pulled to the side of the couch so they’d all be in a big U, facing me.

“These boxes,” I said, pointing behind me at the piles I’d created, “are Tasers and other weapons legal to carry in the state of Oregon. We don’t need a permit.”

The guys all sat up straighter and leaned toward the boxes. I started handing them out, one for each bedroom in the house.

“Um,” said Layla, “this, like, looks like a gun.”

“It’s a non-lethal Taser, legal to use if any of us are under threat. You have one shot. If you hit, you’ll have about thirty seconds while the probes shock.”

“Why are you handing out Tasers?” Dillan asked.

“Right, that’s why we’re meeting. There’s a shithead stalker obsessed with getting to me. He saw a photo Clint’s ex-girlfriend posted online. He knows what town I’m in and he’s violent. If y’all want to move out, I’d get it. I’m tired of running from that asshole so I’m staying here.”

Everyone was quiet for a long minute. I turned around and found one of my bags. “If you stay,” I said, “I’ve bought you defensive weapons so that everyone has a Taser, and more to hide throughout the house—Hazel, I’d like your help figuring out where to stash them.”

“Sure,” she said.

“I also have pepper spray for everyone and personal alarms.” I pulled out one of the Tasers. “This is a Taser Pulse plus Self-Defense Tool with Noonlight Integration. When you pull the trigger, it automatically calls up the police and uses your phone’s location. There’s a built-in flashlight and target laser.”

“Wicked,” said Forest, holding Layla’s Taser in his hand.

I hefted up mine. “Here’s the on switch. Like I said, it’s a single shot Taser gun and takes a bit to reload. If that asswipe shows up at the house, I want us all to be prepared.”

“Jesus, Sally,” said Amber and put her head in her hands.
