For the third time, the editor of The Hedger picked up her cell and called Ember. Voice mail. Damn it. It felt like an eternity before the beep finally sounded. “Hey, Em, it’s me. I need to talk to you. It’s urgent. I’m on my way to your place now. If you get this message before I get there, call me. There’s been another note, and I had to notify Detective Clay. See you soon.” Laura hung up the phone and laid it on the center console so that she could concentrate on the road. She hated driving in so much congestion after dark with her night blindness. She didn’t do it often, but this was too important. Ember was no doubt going to be pissed about Laura involving Clay, but she’d just have to get over it. A second note had been left on Laura’s porch when she came home from work. Her stomach clenched as she remembered the scrawled words: Your friend would be more beautiful wearing my hands around her throat. She shuddered and snatched up the cell again. A horn suddenly blared, and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
