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

“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

woman.”
