“No, and the outside camera just has them walking along the street. No car outside.”
“Samantha knew about the cameras, didn’t she?” he asked.
“So you think there’s something off about all of this as well?” Seth asked quietly.
“Yep,” Ethan replied. “I’m going to send an email to Ink and Brody outlining my concerns. But the timing of this letter feels weird. As well as the content and the fact the person who delivered the letter seemed to know where the cameras were.”
Something stunk about this whole thing.
Seth’s phone rang. “It’s Brody.”
He put the phone on speaker.
“The blogger posted new photos!” Brody said.
“Really?” Ethan asked, hoping they weren’t of him and Cate again. “Of what? Rhodes has been away all weekend.”
“That’s just it! The photos are of him in New York with Samantha!”
Huh?
“This isn’t making sense,” Seth said. “The blogger followed Rhodes to New York. This means that the blogger wasn’t the person who tried to run Ethan and Cate off the road? So he isn’t the stalker? The stalker is someone else?”
“That seems likely,” Ethan said. “Fuck. I don’t know what we’re dealing with there.” Ethan relayed their thoughts about Samantha to Brody.
“Huh. I’ll look more closely at her,” Brody said before ending the call.
Ethan grunted. “The question is do we go to Rhodes with this?”
Seth shook his head. “All we have are suspicions. We can’t go to him without something solid. And you’re forgetting something.”
“What?”
“She wasn’t here the two times the stalker attacked. She was with Rhodes when the stalker attempted to get into the house and when that asshole tried to run you guys off the road.”
“So she has an accomplice?” Ethan asked.
“Or she’s not the stalker,” Seth suggested.
“Let’s just keep an eye on her. I don’t like that she’s in the house with Cate. The sooner we start getting more guards, the better.”
If he thought she would agree, he’d take Cate away. Maybe back to Montana for a while. Although he was worried about how cold she might get there.
But he’d keep her warm. And safe.
Happy.
Just like she made him.

Ethan knocked on the office door.
The door opened after a few minutes and Oliver stood there, giving him a suspicious look.
He’d come over this morning after Cate’s online meeting with her therapist. And he hadn’t left all day. Ethan hadn’t even seen Cate and enough was enough.
Ethan would have been in earlier, but he’d been busy liaising with Kevin to find more bodyguards for Rhodes. God, the guy rubbed him the wrong way. It was clear he was only after one thing.
