Minna and I sit in a small café near my office, and it’s been a few days since we last saw each other. I hadn’t realized how much I missed her until now. She always seems to make everything feel a little less heavy.

“I hate this part,” Minna mutters, glancing out the window like she half expects something to explode right in front of us. “The waiting. Knowing something’s coming but not knowing when or where. Ugh, it’s the worst.”

I nod, picking at my food, which I haven’t touched in a while. “You think that Crowe is toying with us?”

She shrugs. “Hard to say. Everyone’s on edge. We’re watching those three guys like hawks, but so far... nothing. The team’s ready to move in if one of them so much as sneezes wrong.” After a beat she leans in with a mischievous smile, “Oh, and by the way, Gun? He’s been extra wound up lately. Like, the guy looks miserable.”

I try not to react. Try not to give away just how much of an affect he has on me but my stomach twists at the mention of his name. “Miserable, huh? Poor thing.” I roll my eyes, trying to keep it light.

Minna grins, “Yup. Absolutely miserable. But you know, he’s been keeping busy with the case, so at least he’s not completely falling apart.”

“Well, that’s something,” I mutter, glancing out the window. If he’s so miserable how come he hasn’t come by? Or at the very least texted me? “Honestly, I can’t blame him. At this point we’re all basically waiting for something terrible to happen.”

“Exactly! Like, hello, can we just get this over with already?” Minna throws her hands up in mock frustration, then smirks. “You know, Val, we could really use someone like you around for stuff like this... like, permanently.”

I raise an eyebrow. “Oh? Trying to recruit me now?”

She grins. “Maybe. I mean, you’ve been pretty great to work with, and SPIU could always use a little more of your genius. Plus, I’m not the only one who thinks so. Just something to think about. You’d even be great as a consultant.”

I laugh, shaking my head. “I don’t know about that, but I appreciate the vote of confidence.”

Minna shrugs playfully. “Hey, I’m just saying. If you ever want to come over to the dark side, you’ve got options.”

“Pretty sure that you’re actually on the light side, and I’m already on the dark side.” We share a laugh, but my mind drifts. The feeling has been getting worse these past few days. I’m plagued with a nagging sensation that I’m being watched. Every time I leave my office, every time I walk to my car, I feel it.

At first, I chalked it up to paranoia, but now... it’s different. The weight of unseen eyes, the flicker of movement just out of sight. Someone’s following me. I know it. Any minute might be my last and keeping these threats a secret is becoming increasingly difficult.

I’ve kept it to myself. I haven’t even told Minna.
