Evelyn froze, her thumb hovering over the glowing screen of her phone.
"The reporters you asked me to investigate are dead!" From: Oscar
Her stomach feels twisted. She blinked twice, certain she had misread.
She re-read the text. Then again. And again.
"Dead?" she whispered under her breath. "How could they die so suddenly?"
Her pulse quickened as she sank onto the nearest sofa, wishing she could feel better, but the soft cushions did nothing to soothe the unease twisting inside her.
Her thumb hovered over Oscar's name before she pressed call.
The line connected on the second ring.
"Eve!" Oscar's voice came through, far too cheerful for the words he'd just sent her. "You won't believe what I found."
Evelyn's brows knit together. She gripped the phone tighter.
"Didn't you already tell me? Via text? Or did you forget what you wrote?"
Oscar chuckled.
