Backing into the alley behind Pricilla’s as instructed, Seth and Molly sat in his SUV, unsure what to do next. Another buzz and ping finally sounded. Molly went to her phone and read aloud.

Kill the engine and lift the hatch. It doesn’t look like you were followed.

“Is she watching us?” Molly tossed a quick puzzled look to Seth before looking around to see how she knew they were there, then finished, “This feels very mafia mob boss. Why do I feel like we’re the hit?”

Another buzz and ping got their attention.

Do not turn around. Just sit there, remain calm, and DO NOT draw any attention to what is happening behind you.

Seth immediately turned to see what was supposedly happening behind them, and said, “What’s happening behind…?”

And another buzz and ping stopped him as they quickly looked to the next text message that arrived in rapid fire time.

I said do not turn around! Look straight ahead, do not draw any attention. You’re almost done.

Just as they finished reading, a subtle commotion of shuffling feet and whispers could be heard behind the vehicle. There was a slight sway of movement in the SUV that corresponded with crinkling and sliding sounds from behind them. Something was being loaded in the back of Seth’s SUV.

“What the fuck?” Seth let out as he squinted into the rearview mirror to see what was happening, careful not to turn around and earn another scolding text.

“Wha…what is it?” Concern began to fill Molly. This felt weird, and although she trusted Cady, this provoked every fear derived from late night scary movies of her past.

“No clue. I only see…” Seth’s lips curved to a near smile, and his eyes twinkled with amusement as he looked at Molly. “I see a bunch of gray hair! It’s a bunch of gray-haired heads shifting around back there.”

Cady’s ladies. No wonder it felt like an old mafia classic full of unknowns…the bitty brigade was involved. Of course it was dramatic — Cady and her posse had a knack for that. Before Seth and Molly knew it, they were back to a stifling silence until another buzz and ping alerted them of their latest instruction.

Nearly finished. Stay in the car. Close your hatch and pull in front of S&S. Park. Wait five minutes, then meet us at the table in the far back. Do not speak to anyone.

Another buzz and ping rang out before they could even process what they were to do next.

P.S. this is still Cady.

A quick giggle between Seth and Molly, and they followed the instruction given to a T. The annoyance was quickly being replaced with amusement — hidden cameras wouldn’t surprise them at this point. Parking in front of the Savory Sweets Bistro as requested, they hustled to the back table where Cady sat, ignoring the hello they received from Libby as they passed the check-out counter.

Do not speak to anyone rang through their minds as she spoke. Molly would apologize to Libby later. She didn’t dare disobey Cady’s request right in front of her.
