I slept in short bursts and felt terrible as I attempted to force my tired eyes to focus as a dull throb pulsed across the back of my head.
The buzz went off again, and I recognized the pattern as Mitch’s. A glance at my watch showed he was texting and that it was six thirty. He’d be on his way to pick me up—if he wasn’t already there.
Crap.
I should’ve told him last night not to pick me up.
I propped myself against the headboard and grabbed my phone from the nightstand.
Are you all right? I just drove by your house and there’s three black SUVs there and a scary-looking dude outside the front door. I’m around the corner if you want me to pick you up. Let me know.
Who was at the house? It sounded like more than the regular police. Was TOS looking for me? Had Mom sent them? Or was it whoever had been in the house yesterday?
I pulled my legs to my chest and held them to me while I dropped my head onto my knees. I didn’t know what to do.
Another buzz from Mitch.
You’re freaking me out. Text me back.
Shit.
What could I tell him, so he wouldn’t worry?
Staring at the screen didn’t help.
Unlocking the phone with my thumb, I stared at the messages. He’d know I’d seen them.
I typed: Sorry. Should’ve texted. John’s meeting some people for Mom and Dad. I left early. Catch you at school.
I sent it and almost immediately the three dots appeared as he typed. In a few seconds the response arrived.
No worries. Just glad you’re okay. Tell your parents they need less scary colleagues. Didn’t expect to be freaked out first thing.
Mitch knew the basic cover for my parents with the FBI and Homeland Security jobs and that John worked with them.
Of course, this would only satisfy Mitch until he got to school and discovered I wasn’t there. Eventually news about John would get out, unless somebody was already keeping that quiet. That had to be why so many people were at the house.
Maybe TOS had mobilized without the network. A quick look in the corner of the phone screen showed that the network icon wasn’t present. Maybe I could find Lorenzo now or…. I still didn’t know what the or could be.
