It took five rings for Misty to pick up. I put the phone on speaker as she answered. These

people were my friends, they may as well know.

“Adelaide, are you OK?”

“I’m safe, for now,”

“What happened?”

“He left me a ‘gift‘ on my doorstep, the same flowers he left in my bedroom window when !

left, when he found my apartment.”

“Is Carter with you?”

“Yes, I’m at his place.”

“I woke up a few minutes ago to one of the notifications going off. He got to the lawyer a few

days ago, it seems. His secretary’s sister went by the firm after her sister didn’t show up to a

family event yesterday. He killed them, or had them killed; they were torn limb from limb, and

the office was trashed. Don’t go anywhere alone right now. I’ll dig into his finances and see if

there is anything more. I need someone to look and see if there are any clues as to where the

flowers came from, or if he left a note with them. He may have just sent them, but there could

be other addresses he sent the flowers to, also. He may not have people in your area yet. He is

due for a press conference here tomorrow, so I doubt he is in a position to leave right now, but

don’t let your guard down.”

“I’ll go check the property,” Carter said, standing, and Mazzie stood with him.

“Don’t you leave her alone right now!” Misty ordered.

disappeared inside, and the sound of a gun being loaded could be heard, then another. He

came out, handing one to Lana, and the other to me.

“Piece of shit shows up, or any of his men, you don’t think, you just shoot. He told us. He

looked at me. “I meant what I said, he’s a dead man,” Carter said, before he disappeared with

Mazzie out the front door. Lana got up and locked it before walking to the back door and

checking that it was locked as well.

“Well, they will be a while,” she said, coming back from the kitchen with a tub of ice cream
