Chapter Fifty-Nine: Weird Company 

Piper’s POV

My phone!

The bastard has bugged my phone!

In haste, I pick it up, examining it as if I can dislodge the malware.

How much has he heard?

Did he know that Avery and Thane are a pair?

Oh no!

More scared than ever, I sweep off the icon and go to the call logs. It's urgent that Avery needs to be alarmed.

On second thought, I don't dial her number, worried that he still has access to my phone. Well, it's not like I see Avery picking up my calls anytime soon.

“Think. Think.”

I beat myself up.

Over the long hours, since it got bugged, I've made a few calls… Thankfully, it's just Avery and Rufus, since I'm trying to keep a low profile.

In slow succession, I replay my conversation with Rufus. There's nothing indicating, thankfully.

“Avery!”

I sigh, slapping my hand to my forehead. If she wasn't so angry, we would have sorted this out the day she came here.

“Damn it!”

I'm experiencing a mix of emotions at a go.
