The game is in play, Margo.
Thereâs no calling this one off.
Ready or not, here I come.

Margo
Lenora finds me in the hallway.
On the floor.
She falls to her knees beside me, grabbing at my shoulders. âWhatâs wrong? Are you hurt?â
I point toward my room with a shaky hand. The door has swung almost all the way closed, leaving just a crack visible. Itâs all I can focus on, although Iâd rather close my eyes. Scrub them out and forget I ever came back here.
Home. Someone clearly disagrees.
She stands and forces my door open farther, her hand flying to her mouth.
Robert makes it to the top of the stairs then, coming toward me.
âRobert,â Lenora gasps.
He helps me to my feet, and I follow him closer.
My room is a wreck.
Destroyed.
My mattress is off the box spring, ripped to shreds. Bits of foam and feathers from the sliced pillows coat the floor. The box spring is splintered, one leg completely demolished. And my bookshelf⦠Every book has been thrown off the case, some pages torn out, crumpled.
But the worst part is the red paint, resembling a murder scene. Itâs splashed across the walls, the floor, the books. My desk. The window.
And on the wall, a message.
Pretty bird, broken wings. Oh, what a glorious fall.
He takes my hand. âLen, call the detective. Letâs just close this offâ¦â
He tugs me out of the room.
I gasp for air.
Pretty bird.
Where have I heard that before? Whoâs called me that?
âDetective Masters, this is Lenora Jenkinsâ¦â Her voice fades as she goes down the stairs.
âIs this related to who took you?â Robert asks.
That would make sense. I struck at Matt, and I was virtually untouchable with the Blacks. Too many people always around. Here⦠the house was deserted for days while Lenora stayed at the hospital.
This was revenge? A warning?
Unknown calling me out forâ¦
I shake my head. âI donât know.â
âLetâs go downstairs,â he suggests, guiding me away.
I stop short at one of the framed photos. Thereâs a faint spot of red on the glass, like whoever painted the message in my room came out here and took their sweet time leaving.
Robert doesnât notice my distraction.
âIâm going to the bathroom.â I quickly withdraw. âIâll meet you downstairs.â
He nods. âTake your time.â
I duck into the bathroom until I hear him talking to Lenora. Then I back into the hallway and lift the photo from the wall.
Josie hid a note behind one of these. It could be irrelevant, butâ¦
This particular photo is one of the new ones. Itâs Caleb, Eli, Riley, and me from the masquerade ball. One of the few where we werenât wearing our masks.
The red spotâa fingerprint, I realize upon closer inspectionâis right over my face.
Erasing me completely.
Pretty bird, broken wings. Oh, what a glorious fall.
I tighten my grip on it.
How dare they come in here and threaten me? After everythingâ
I shake my head, knowing that line of thinking is foolish. They wonât just stop. Unknown wonât stop until they get what they want.
And⦠what is it that they want, exactly? To run me out of town.
