"You know, I had a rookie cop come to my home and basically tell me he's gunning for us," I said, my voice trembling with anger.

"Where are we going?" he asked, looking confused.
"To check on Athena. I left her with Lelani, and I have a feeling something's wrong," I said to him, my gut twisting with worry.
