“He’ll assume they are being blocked right now, but not discovered. We want him to keep thinking that way.”
She nodded, silent for a moment before speaking again.
“He heard us in my apartment.”
“It depends where your bag was compared to where we were. Leo is probably testing the devices to figure out their capabilities. I assume he heard enough.”
“All this time,” she whispered. She looked up, her red-rimmed eyes doing something to me. I wanted to find this asshole right now and eliminate him. Permanently.
And this time, I would probably enjoy it.
“The roof?” she asked. “When we were talking? When I was on the phone with Deb?”
“He might have heard you, but he might not have. I’ve never tested it. But he, no doubt, knows you are living in my place. He still can’t get to you, Raven. He can’t get in the building.”
“But if he heard me, he didn’t show up at the coffee shop.”
“No, he didn’t.”
“Maybe he’s given up?” she asked hopefully.
“Maybe. Or maybe he knew you were being watched. Or the scanners prevented him from hearing.”
She sighed and wiped under her eyes. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have gotten so upset.”
“Hey, you have every right to be upset. This dickhead has invaded your privacy, frightened you, and stalked you. Don’t hide that from me.”
“What do we do now?”
“I’m going to keep your little bunny here and see if it can help us find him.”
“Will I get him back? Emery, one of my favorite students, gave him to me.”
“Yes. I’ll take good care of it. But for now, it stays with me.”
“Okay.” She was quiet for a moment, and Leo returned, knocking before he came in. He set the bunny down. “The range is good. They aren’t like what we use, but they’re not run-of-the-mill either.”
“Can we find him, using the manufacturer?” I asked.
“I don’t know. I’d probably be able to figure it out. But I have to take them apart.”
“Maybe we could test my theory before you destroy them,” Raven said quietly.
“Test how?” Leo asked, ignoring me as I began to shake my head.
“You think he knows something in the building is blocking him.”
“Or thinks the bugs are malfunctioning.”
“But he doesn’t know that you know about the bugs.”
“I don’t think so,” I replied. “What are you thinking?”
“So, once we leave the office, couldn’t we use that to our advantage? Let him think there are glitches, but the bugs haven’t been found? Let him know where I will be and when? Like when I go shopping tomorrow? Or go somewhere on the weekend? See if he shows up?”
I stared at her in surprise. As much as I hated the thought of exposing her, it was a good idea. And she was incredibly brave to have suggested it.
“He’ll know we’re watching,” I pointed out.
