Rafe leaned back in his office chair, and propped his booted feet onto the desk, holding the phone to his ear. Acid burned in his gut as he considered the eerie phone calls Tessa had gotten. Maybe it was kids playing a practical joke on the new teacher, but he wasn’t taking any chances.

“Hey bro, got a favor to ask.”

“What, no hello, how’ve you been? Straight to asking for something.” His brother, Antonio, chuckled. “Good to hear from you too, Rafe. What’s up?”

“Need to know if you’ve got an expert who can trace incoming calls to a cell phone. The number shows up as unknown caller. Once it’s blocked, the caller uses a different number. Is there any way to determine who’s making the calls, or where they’re coming from?”

The first person he’d thought to call with Tessa’s problem? His brother, Antonio, who worked with the FBI office in Dallas. He had sources Rafe didn’t have in the much smaller Shiloh Springs. And Rafe didn’t mind exploiting his brother’s connections if it meant protecting Tessa.

“What’s going on?”

“Someone’s been making harassing calls to Tessa, and I’m trying to figure out where they’re coming from. She can tell somebody’s on the other end because she hears them breathing.”

“Tessa? You mean the new teacher?”

“Yeah. She moved here from North Carolina, and doesn’t have a clue who would be calling her from an unknown number. She’s got in her head it’s probably kids playing pranks, but I’m not so sure.” He could almost hear the wheels spinning in Antonio’s head at his answers, and knew his brother probably had a million questions of his own.

“Give me the cell number that’s receiving the calls, and I’ll have a buddy look into it. Not sure how much information he can get, unless we put a tracker on her phone. But will do what we can.” There was a long pause, before Antonio spoke again. “Could this be somebody from her past…maybe somebody from North Carolina?”

Rafe didn’t want to consider there might be somebody back in North Carolina from Tessa’s past who’d want to hurt her—or worse. But it was a distinct possibility, especially after their conversation earlier. Somebody she’d cared about—or even loved. But Rafe was a cop. He couldn’t afford to look at this from a personal aspect, even if it made his head ache. It also meant he’d have to do a little digging into Tessa’s past.

“How much information do you think you can obtain from cell phone calls showing an unknown caller?”

“Depends. There are a lot of factors to figuring out where a call came from, whether a landline or cellphone, trying to track the towers and where the call generated, but…”

“But it’s a long shot, right?”

Antonio sighed. “Yeah, you haven’t given me a lot to go on here, and it’s going to be almost impossible to trace, but we’ll give it our best shot. I know a guy who’s one of the best at cellphone data, locating the towers where a call pinged, and maybe we’ll get lucky.
