I nodded, heart racing with anticipation. Five minutes later, we reached the library and made our way over to a quiet corner. Erin plugged my laptop into an outlet while I connected it to my phone with a small cable. Once everything was working as intended, I opened the spy camera app and isolated a portion of the footage from this morning, starting at 6 a.m. just to be safe.
“Did Adam reply yet?” I asked, looking over at Erin as the footage downloaded.
“No, but he’s typing.” She went silent for a moment, frowning at the screen. Then her brows lifted, and she turned the phone to face me. “He says today’s poll post was scheduled at 7:56.”
I opened the video file and dragged the timer to 7:50 a.m., assuming RXorcist took some time to create the post before they scheduled it. Erin pulled up a chair next to me, wide eyes glued to the laptop. “Press play,” she said, voice almost cracking with excitement.
I hit the enter key and leaned forward, watching the screen with bated breath.
Between 7:50 and 7:53, the back corner of the library lay silent and empty. At 7:54, a person finally stepped into the frame. They furtively glanced around for a few seconds, and then they dumped a bag on the desk beside the computer and sat down.
Erin turned to look at me. My own shock was mirrored in her wide eyes.
“No fucking way.”

“No way.”Erin vehemently shook her head, eyes wide as saucers. “There’s no way Bobbi Kesinovic is RXorcist.”
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing either. The shock was like ice water on my skin.
“That’s definitely her on the footage,” I said in a low voice, staring at the laptop screen. “Buthow?”
“No idea.”
My lips pressed into a thin line. “I know this will sound terrible, but—”
“You think Bobbi is the stupidest person on the planet,” Erin cut in. “Don’t worry, everyone else thinks it too.”
“I just don’t get it.” I kept staring at the laptop screen, watching Bobbi as she rapidly typed something on the computer keyboard. “She’s literally the last person I’d ever suspect.”
“Maybe she’s not actually RXorcist. Maybe RXorcist just hired her to work for them,” Erin said, tilting her chin. “So she logs in and schedules the posts for them, but she doesn’t run the whole thing.”
“Yeah, maybe.”
Erin leaned forward and squinted at the screen. “Or not,” she muttered.
“What is it?” I said, brows rising.
She motioned to the footage. “Can you zoom in on the video at all?”
“Yes.”
“Zoom in on the monitor. I want to confirm what she’s typing.”
I did as she said. The computer screen quadrupled in size and came into sharper focus. Lines of text appeared. They all looked like gibberish to me. “What is this?” I asked, turning my gaze back to Erin.
“Code,” she replied, eyes wide with incredulity. “In other words—a programming language. It looks like she’s built the app from scratch herself. Right now she’s modifying something on it.”
“Shit. Really?”
“Yes.” Erin looked over at me, brows squishing together. “If Bobbi was actually a total idiot without two brain cells to rub together, she wouldn’t be able to write code like this. And she definitely wouldn’t be able to write it that fast.”
“So she’s really RXorcist.”
“Looks like it, yeah.” Erin exhaled deeply and leaned back in her seat. “I can’t believe it.”
