BACK IN THE OFFICE, Mitch’s cell phone chirped to notify him a text message had arrived. He extracted it from the clip on his belt, wondering who’d be pestering him during a storm like this.

He unlocked the screen and read:

Thief, the pits of Hell are too good for you, but I’m going to send you there anyway.

The message had been sent without a listed number, no surprise. Mitch tapped delete but the message stayed on the screen. He tried again but the words remained, mocking him.

“What the fuck?” His skin prickled with goose-flesh. Even though he’d drank enough alcohol to immerse him in a calming haze, his nerves began to jangle.

“Someone trying to sabotage my plans? Give me your best shot shithead, fucking coward.” He tossed the phone onto the sofa, cursing under his breath.

He forced out a bitter laugh, trying to shrug off the sinister implications of the text message.

Who could possibly know? Absolutely no one.

Could his idiot wife in the very next room be mocking him? How could she know his plan unless . . . unless she’d been snooping around? Surely she wasn’t stupid enough to taunt him like this.

Sparks of molten anger ignited deep inside his brain, pulsing out through his temples. He needed to keep his cool. He poured another three finger wallop of Scotch in an attempt to calm himself, but more alcohol only served to fuel the inferno raging within.

It was time for him to check in on Natalie, anyway; hopefully she’d gotten drunk and had passed out by now. As he stepped through the door of his office into the hall, a fierce wind rattled the window with a bone-chilling howl.

Mitch froze in his tracks, listening.

For a moment there, he could have sworn the wind was moaning his name.
