She appreciated her not calling him a stalker.
Okay, so she might be a bit crazy thinking that she had some nice older guy looking after her who wanted nothing else to do with her or from her.
But it was that or not sleep at night. Or never leave her apartment. Which she’d rarely done anyway.
“I don’t know. Look, the thing you have to realize is that these things happened with months in between them. It wasn’t like something was happening every month or even every six months. Sometimes it was a year or more between things. So I didn’t really piece it all together until lately. I know that sounds really dumb. You must all think I’m stupid.”
“Little girl, you’re already in a lot of trouble, you do not want to add to it by calling yourself names,” Hack warned.
Yikes.
“If it’s not the Fox and it doesn’t sound likely, then who could it be?” Reyes asked.
“I don’t know. I thought maybe if I came here, then he wouldn’t follow. Or her. I mean . . . it could be a woman, I guess. But stalkers are mostly men, right?”
“I think we’d have to look up the statistics on that,” Emme said. “But I’m gonna go with yes. If we classify this as stalker behavior. I mean . . . he’s only doing nice things, right?”
“Yes, but what if something triggers him into taking another step,” Reyes said tiredly. “I think we should rule out the Fox completely first.”
Duke groaned. “Fuck it. Fine. Let’s call him.”
Sunny drew out her phone and turned it onto speaker as it rang.
“Hello, sweet girl,” a man said cheerily through the phone.
Well. He didn’t sound too crazy. Or like a stalker at all. Greer started to relax.
“Fox, you’re on speaker,” Sunny said.
“Who is in the room?”
“Duke, Reyes, Hack, Emme, Spike, and Greer.”
“Greer? Sav’s sister?”
“Yes. We told her a bit about you. But she knows to keep quiet.”
“Good,” he replied. “Did you warn her what happens if she doesn’t?”
She gulped.
“Do not threaten my girl, Fox,” Hack snapped.
Holy. Shit. Was that wise? If he was some sort of insane assassin?
“Claimed her, have you? Well, that’s different,” the Fox said. There was a low moaning noise in the background. “That was quick. Always knew you were the type. Now you won’t have to slap the salami so much, huh?”
“The type to what?” Hack asked.
“Fall fast and hard. I did that with my babies too.”
His babies? Was he talking about actual babies? She was so confused.
“You sound like you’re in a good mood tonight,” Sunny said cautiously. “Everything good?”
“Of course it is, sweet girl. I’m in a good mood because I’m engaging in one of my favorite activities.”
Sunny was wide-eyed. “Um, you’re playing with Brody and Autumn?”
