Stalker

“Okay. I’ll need you to fill out a contract first, but the charge for looking will be nominal.”


When Alan nodded in agreement, Jake handed him a contract, he filled it in and wrote a check to the agency. Then Jake got what he needed and they went down to the lot next to the building where Alan was parked.


“All right, it’s not your imagination,” Jake said a few minutes later. He beckoned for Alan to join him, showing him a tiny box inside the right front wheel well. “If you were the kind of guy who used one of those magnetic boxes for a spare key you might have found this.”


“Can you use this to locate him, since he must use his phone or computer to track me?” Alan asked.


“If he’s smart, and he undoubtedly is, he has a throwaway phone he uses, so probably not. Now you’ve got two choices. I can leave this here, or remove it. If I remove it, he’s going to know you’ve found it which won’t make him happy.”


“If you leave it, he’ll keep following me,” Alan replied angrily.
