"It's my career-"

"Children.' Wyatt lifted his hands to stop the explosion. "I would like you to go on as usual. We do not want to scare this guy away. We want to catch him in the act to put him away for a long time." He rose and nodded to Lynn. "I am going to be on this like white on rice."

"Thanks, Wyatt. I have not asked you about the children."

"They are both fine and growing like weeds." He grinned, jade green eyes twinkling. "Audra thinks I spoil them rotten, especially our daughter, and she is right."

"Kiss them for me.'

"I will do that. Walk me out?" He jerked his head at Callum.

As soon as they left the room, Lynn decided she needed a drink. Leaving the sofa, she forced the trembling of her limbs away before walking over to the cabinet. Pouring from the bottle Callum had left out, she cradled the glass between her hands before returning to stand in front of the fire, the chill permeating her bones.

Someone was after her. Someone was sensing her vicious letters and wanted to hurt her just because of some sick idea that she was interested in him or it could be a female. And she was scared. The reality was crashing down on her, and she realized she had not told Jason. She was going to have to say to him.

"What are you not saying?" Callum watched as his friend shrugged into his heavy jacket.

"She is moving in with you."

"Yes. I am not letting her go back to her place. What is it?"

"These things are unpredictable."

"How so?" Callum demanded. "It could be a cast member; we are checking that out. Someone jealous of her and her rise to stardom."

"But you don't think so."

"No. It looks like an outside job. And I am worried that the bastard is escalating too rapidly."

"She is scared, and so am I."

"I know. We are going to try and work on this tirelessly. We are not going to leave anything to chance."

"I have an excellent security department."

"Which will impede my investigation. You can do your own thing, but I prefer to work this in-house."

"I am going to keep her safe," Callum vowed.

"We will. I will keep you posted."

"Thanks."

"You got it."

When Callum went back into the living room, she was not there. Banking the fire, he collected her boots and headed upstairs to find her propped up against the pillows.

"Jason is mad."

"Why?"

"I never told him. He is coming by the theater tomorrow."

"You are going in." He sat on the sofa to remove his boots.

"I have to. Rehearsal."

"I am taking you."
