*MC POV*

I had less weight on my chest. That group chat telling everyone everything we had found had made me feel calmer. They needed to know the truth, everything that had been discovered so far.


At work I could concentrate without being uncomfortable keeping secrets from my friend.


Then I receive an unknown call. I pick up my phone and get up to get it in the bathroom. Better not to continue giving my teammates more reason to distrust me after that Lilly video. They were all pending every time I spoke during my breaks.


I lock myself in a cubicle and press to answer. I already knew who the person was.


"Have you told your parents how much you love them yet?" said the voice distorted, filled with hate. A shiver runs through my whole body when he tells me that "I know where you live, I know your crime. Little by little I'm getting to collect everything about you."
"I don't know what the fuck you're talking about," I lie, trying to get some composure.
"You have a nice apartment" My apartment? ".As soon as you return, you'll have me here... Very soon I'll kill you like them."
He hangs up leaving me scared. So much so that I don't realize Jake had just sent me at least three messages.

Jake
MC?
Come on answer.
I need to know that you are fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I try to calm myself down before I can answer. In part, the threat wasn't that worrisome to me, and I had a reason for that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MC
I'm fine Jake...
I'm a little calmer now


Jake
Your apartment.
Are you there now?


MC
No
Actually, I don't even live in my apartment anymore
It's been a couple of years since I quit


Jake
And how could he know you had one?
Has anything else about you leaked out that you haven't told me?


MC
I'm not sure...
But like I said, it was a couple of years ago
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I bite my nail nervously remembering. I wasn't ready to tell yet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MC
I'd like to tell the group what happened
I need to know if they have received any threats as well


Jake
Sure.
It's your decision.
I'm going in now too.


MC
Thank you
🙂
