Chapter 19

Sitting across from Kyle, Elise sat with her legs curled under her on the couch and held a cup of hot tea. Once Kyle arrived and Bryan was sure she was okay, he’d returned to the station to finish out his shift.

“Thank you for coming here to talk with me rather than making me go to the station.” She tested the tea and then took a sip.

Kyle smiled and picked up the thumb drive filled with all her recent pictures. He’d asked for it right after he arrived. She’d hesitated, but Kyle wanted to be thorough. “Sure. Are you okay?”

“Honestly, no, but I will be. I really think they have the wrong person.” She paused, taking another sip of tea. Now that the more rational part of her brain had kicked in, she’d settled down.

Kyle shook his head. “I’m not so sure about that. First the fire, now the note. On their own, maybe it would be a coincidence. Without the fire, maybe the note could be attributed to some stupid kids playing a bad prank, but together? I think there’s a legitimate link.”

“Really? But why me? I haven’t done anything or spoken to anyone. Well, no one I’d consider sketchy.” She set the teacup down on the side table and crossed her arms over her chest.

“No one that you know of. People can be great at hiding their true motives.” Kyle shrugged. “Maybe you stumbled onto something and just don’t know it yet.”

Taking a deep breath, she considered what he was saying. Still, she couldn’t recall anything that would give her positive proof she was the actual target.

“The team went over your car twice, and it was clean. For now, it looks like it was just the note.”

“See? Just a note. I know the old saying ‘Nothing is coincidence,’ but this time, I think it might be wrong. Loose wiring and stupid kids being jerks.” She dropped her hands to her lap. “That’s all.”

Leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, Kyle nodded. “Maybe, but I think you should lie low for a few days. Stay here with Bryan and stay safe. Not saying you can’t take care of yourself, but having a roommate isn’t a bad idea.”

Great. She worked to keep the exasperation from showing. Just her luck when she was moving forward and finding her footing again. Of course, she should have expected it, but why did this stuff always happen to her?

“I need to have my own space. Plus, I’ve got a shoot scheduled in a few days. I can’t just stop living because of a possible threat. One I don’t even think is real.”

Kyle pushed out of the chair and looked down at her. “Yeah, but what if it is real? What if you are being threatened? Do you really want to take that risk? What about your parents?”

Talk about not fair. She stood, facing Kyle and setting her hands on her hips. “That was low.”

“And true. Until we’re sure, you need to be cautious.
