It was hard to say goodbye to Xavier this morning. Dropping him off today would be the last time I see him at least for a while. As promised Johnathan had sent SUVs to pick me up. I was surprised Zander hadn't called me yet. Maybe's he's working. I'll sent him a text.

'Hey morning, wasn't sure if I should say this through a text but here it goes. I'm headed to the airport now, I'll be gone for a while. I don't know when I'll be back. Take care of yourself okay. Hopefully I won't be gone too long. Bye Zander.'

That sounds vague, perfect. Hopefully he believes me. I am heading to the airport but I'm not going anywhere. I'll be going towards my private plane and Johnathan will take care of the rest he'll ensure the plane lands at the airport in New Zealand. I'll be turning off all my electronics so no one can track me. The records will show that my plane landed in New Zealand. I'll be changing my clothes and going back out in a disguise.

From there I'll be living in either a hotel room or my office until this stalker is caught. They tried to get the IP address of the where the camera feed was being streamed to but the son of a bitch was smart and bounced it off multiple towers, which was basically all over Australia . They tried to locate it but the closest they got was to a 10km radius around my house. He's way to close.

I check my phone again. Zander usually replies within a couple of minutes. It's been 20 now. I hope he's okay, especially since the threat to him last night.

Why is he so nice? He was the one who received the threat and yet he was worried about me. He really is raking up those brownie points. Okay screw this I'm calling him. 

"Hello?" Says a female voice. I dialled the right number didn't I?

"May I speak with Zander?"

"He can't come to the phone right now Delta." Who is she?

"And you are?"

"I'm Sofia, Zander's sister."

"Stop Ethan, that's it Im telling her." Telling me what? 

"What's going on Sofia?" Something is wrong, I can feel it in my gut. 

"Here goes. Last night I was on the phone with Zander when he was driving back from the hotel after dropping you off. There was someone who tried to kill him, a big truck. He said it was a male and he ran Zander off the road." Oh god.

"W-where is he?" This can't be happening again.

"In the Cranbourne Hospital, we're with him right now. He's got a concussion, a few bruises and cuts. He's okay though, just unconscious at the moment." I'm glad to hear he's not critical. This has to end. I want to go see him but I've got to follow through with the plan because this might be my chance to gain one on this fucker.

I'll have to visit him in disguise, since I don't know the employees at the hospital and who knows the cameras could be hacked. I've got to be careful.

"I hope he gets better soon. I called him because I was on my way to the airport-"

"Airport why? Where are you going?" Woman I was about to tell you, before you cut me off.

"I'm going out of country. I have...business to take care of."

"Oh, I see. I'm sure Zander would have wanted to see you but I understand work is work." 

"Thank you Sofia. Please let Zander know I called and if he needs anything you can call my head of security Johnathan." 

This has strengthened my resolve. We're almost at the airport.

Luckily everything went as planned. There were disruptions and no suspicious activities. That means the stalker either tracked me and fell into the trap or he hasn't stalked me yet. Cue key roll.  He couldn't possibly keep track of me every second of the day. 

Probably not, but then again there was this kid back in University who I blocked on Facebook and when I unblocked him just for the fun of it, he messaged me almost immediately.

I can't go visit Zander just yet. Since there's been some changes about where I'll be staying. Instead of bouncing from hotel to hotel where I risk being exposure, I'll be staying in the basement of one of my warehouses. Since only a handful of people know that place, plus I can set up my computers and track the stalker this 'A' person down. I'm not sure how long it'll take because he seems to be covering his tracks pretty neatly so far.

Since Zander wasn't admitted to Royal Swanson hospital I need to check out the employees and the patients which also would have been easier to access. I'm currently one step ahead in the game and with my need to maintain it, I'll have to check all the places I need to go to. I'll be spending a lot of time here. I'll need to check all the places I go to, I'll have to check the employees, the customers and the camera footage.

I know there is a chance that the stalker won't be someone I know, but their face would show up in those places consistently. I've had a lot of time to thing about this. I need to be just as prepared if not more. I also realise that the stalker could have done this too and not physically have followed me. But then I have government access. I can locate the IP addresses that have accessed the camera at the time I've been there. Again consistency will get him. With the help of some people I'll get him regardless of how long it takes.

I'm not sure of what I'll do with him especially if its someone I know. How would I react to that? Two things I know for sure are; One I want answers and second he will pay for things he done.

I need to make him angry, I need to make him so so angry that he'll slip and make a mistake and THAT will be when he goes down because "an angry enemy is a conquered enemy."

With news of me gone dark and out of the country he'll be angry.

A/N: How true is that quote though? 

She is taking charge now. Don't even know who the stalker is but damn does he make you angry. 


Happy New Year! Another year here we come.

So I found out that 2019 and 1985 are the exact same year in terms of dates and days. 1st January was on Tuesday then and this year!
