Chapter Thirty-Six

It Must Be An Upper-Class Thing

Back in the car, my phone began to ring. The Mustang answered for me. What a car.

“Honey?”

“What’s up? How’s Sarah?”

“Still out of it,” he said. “But I talked to the person who found her. Apparently they saw a dark green van in the area.”

I frowned. “I saw a dark van near my house last night. That was probably the person who shot at me.”

“The person who what?”

Tim’s voice was hard, like he wanted to yell but was holding it inside. I bet if I could see his face his fangs would be out.

“You didn’t know?” I asked. “I thought you knew.”

“Why would you think I’d magically know that?”

“Adam knew. I just figured he would have told you.”

“He didn’t.”

“Yeah, I kind of guessed.”

“You’re in your car now.”

“Yes,” I said suspiciously. “How do you know?”

“Firstly, because I can hear the engine and I’m not an idiot. Secondly, we’re tracking your car’s GPS. Make sure you keep an eye out and call it in if you spot the van.”

“Who do I call?”

“Me. Please just don’t do anything stupid.”

“Sure,” I said in what I doubted was a convincing tone.

“Please.”

I was feeling a little calmer after talking to Will. I mean, sure, there was a very experienced assassin after me and I had no idea who they were and yeah, they could kill me at any time, but hey – James hadn’t done it. I was still in with a chance of winning a house, however slim.

I cruised in silence for a while, not really driving anywhere in particular, until my phone rang again.

“Charlie? It’s Jo.”

“Hey, Jo.” How did she get this number? I hadn’t planned on telling her I had a phone, um, ever.

“Were you ever planning on telling me you got a phone?” Uh… “Not that it matters. Your mum gave me the number so now you can’t avoid me.” She cackled. “I can’t believe you waited until your work got one for you. Hello twenty-first century. Actually, hello twentieth century. You are so behind the times.”

OK, was there some way I could get my car to block certain people’s numbers? Because as much as I loved Jo, this was actually going to drive me crazy.

“I didn’t realise people were so hot to talk to me.”

“Sure, whatever. I’m just ringing to remind you that my dinner party is tonight and you promised, like one hundred percent promised, that you would come.”

Pretty sure that was a lie, but whatever.

“Lea is already here – your mum dropped her off. They’ve both told me you’re dressed like a country hobo, so go home and get changed. It starts in an hour but I don’t mind if you turn up late looking hot because I have invited three potential suitors for you and you are going to love all three of them and you’re not going to be able to choose and you’re just going to have penis coming at you from all directions and you won’t even know what to do with it.
