CHAPTER THIRTEEN

By late afternoon I deserved a break. Besides, staring at the computer screen was melting my eyeballs. After making substantial progress on the design job, I needed a snack and a stretch.

I grabbed an apple from the counter. I wanted to run down to the lobby and check the mail, so I searched for my keys.

Rowen had called a while ago to let me know Arrow was a free man. No charges had been filed. Since both he and the guy he’d attacked were battered and refusing to talk, they’d been tossed in the drunk tank for the night and released, although Arrow had been told another arrest would result in charges. Rowen had changed the distributor thingy on my car and headed to Arrow’s where Molly’s Chamber was working on their version of “Love Song For An Angel.”

Jett had only snide remarks when she’d texted me to say she was bored and wanted me to come out and party. I’d countered by asking if she wanted to come along for my first recovery job. Cinder should be coming by any time now with details.

With my mail key in hand, I left the apartment and padded down the hall to the elevator. The lobby was empty when the doors slid open, but right away something didn’t feel right. I stepped out with wary scrutiny, scanning every inch of the entryway.

“Weird,” I muttered, sticking the key in my mailbox.

I pulled out the two envelopes inside, bills of course, not noticing the photo until it fluttered to the floor at my feet. It took me a moment to realize what I was seeing. I snatched it up and stared in horror at the picture of Rubi and her grandmother. The two of them stood outside the nursing home where her grandmother lived. The photo itself stank of sulfur.

The sudden sensation of being watched had me turning in a slow circle, but I was still alone. The sun set early this time of year, so when I glanced out the front door, all I saw was my own reflection.

Dash had wasted no time in taking his threat to the next level. Though it was simply a photo, it said so much more. It shook me to my core. Dash was sending a very clear and powerful message. Not only could he threaten my friends, he could threaten those they loved dearly. Innocent, defenseless people.

In the tech age Dash could’ve easily sent such an image to my phone. As a shiver crept up my spine, I knew that he’d done it this way to make me question the safety of my own building, and it had worked.

I sprinted up the stairs, forgoing the elevator completely. When I burst into my apartment and slammed the door, my heart was pounding in my ears. Being safe behind the wards protecting my apartment didn’t stop me from shrieking when Cinder poked his head out of the kitchen.

“Ember? Is everything ok?”

“Yes,” I said automatically, not wanting to worry him.
