TAKE 8

I WAKE UP ONCE AGAIN WITH A HANGOVER FROM HELL.

Yesterday was such a fucking fever dream. Me almost getting raped in a alleyway? Getting saved by fucking JJ of all people?

The universe has a cruel sense of humor.

I grab my phone and the first thing I see is a message, from, surprise surprise, JJ.

"Last night was fun. Hope you've acknowledged the fact you owe me."

Then another message below that

"P.S. I left you a gift."

I raised an eyebrow and instantly got out of bed and walked towards my living room.

And right there on my coffee table I saw a black box with a box around it. It was relatively large in length. I sat down on my couch and placed my shaky hand on the lid.

Theres only two "gifts" this man is physically capable of giving me. One, something I will find highly disturbing, or, two, flowers.

I pray its the second option because I really cannot afford to pay for intense therapy at the moment.

I open the box and immediately my heart drops.

There is a hand holding a hydrangea.

A human hand holding a hydrangea.

What the fuck?

I immediately grab my phone and dial the only number that can even give me a sense of security at this point.

"911, what is your emergency?"

"RIGHT SO I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE HERE BEFORE. IS THAT RIGHT?"

I nodded in agreement.

"So tell me everything, once again from top to bottom."

I bite my lip.

"Listen I really dont wanna think about anything that has to do with them, can I please go home?"

The detective sighs, it's a different one this time. "Chloe you gotta understand for us to get to the bottom of this- and for your safety- you gotta tell me what is going on."

"I wanna go home."

"You will. Right after you tell me what happened."

"They're stalking me. I cant keep coming here and you guys promise me safety and nothing happens."

His face softens a bit but he sighs. "So lets skip the story, answer a few questions. Is that okay?"

I nod

"Have you had any interactions with the suspect in person?"

I shake my head. His eyes narrowed at that

"No. No I havent."

"What about over text?"

"Yes, I have responded."

"Was any of these messages aggressive in any way."

"No."

"Have they ever been inside of your home?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever caught them inside of your home?"

"No."

"Do you know what they do while inside of your home?"

"Cameras and flowers."

"What?" He looks up at me.
