Seeking help
“What’s up, Ava?”

We rarely talk. Most of the time, it’s just a message here and there. All of them consist of him

letting me know he has sent a package and me thanking him for it.

I know it’s dangerous, but he’s the only one I can think of to help me right now. I won’t lie. The

second note has totally scared the crap out of me.

“I need your help, Reaper,” I simply state. There was no need for small talk. Plus, from what I’ve

learned about him, he doesn’t like them.

It took some time before I finally had the courage to call him. I’ve been debating whether I should

go to the police or him. Finally, reason won over. The last time I was in danger, the police weren’t

able to help. Reaper knew what was happening the whole time.

I reasoned that maybe he would be able to help me catch whoever was after me.

“Okay, what is it?” he asks curiously. Probably because I’ve never asked him for anything.

“Someone seems to be after.”

“Oh, is it about the notes you’ve been getting?”

I am shocked, but not at the same time. See? This is why I thought he would be the best person to

help me. He was a step ahead of me.

“Yes,” I answer. “Do you know who’s behind it, and how do you even know about them?”

I crossed my fingers, hoping that he knew. It would be even better if he was in the process of

taking care of the problem for me. After all, didn’t he promise me his protection?

“I have my sources… I don’t know who’s behind them, but my source tells me that the person who leaves them usually wears a mask and a long black coat. From what he gathered, he thinks it’s a
