Chapter 27: Watch Your Back

*Jack*

I felt a huge smile spread out across my face when my cell phone vibrated in my pocket. I didn't receive many personal calls or text messages. I had a group chat with a few of the guys from the precinct, which was mainly used to post stupid pictures or to plan a guy’s night.

Only one person, save for the occasional solicitor called me on my personal number.

I was mixed with elation and apprehension when I pulled my phone out and confirmed that it was Mia. I was excited to be able to hear her voice, but I was also concerned because she knew that I was at work. She wouldn’t be calling just to chat.

I sat up even straighter at my desk before answering the call. “Hey, Mia. What is it? Is everything alright?”

“Hi,” she chirped, relieving me immediately. She sounded like she was fine. “Everything’s okay. I just got done at the studio.”
