"You got a weird phone call?" Robert asked with concern in his voice as he sat at the kitchen table watching Keeley mix together a bowl of cookie dough.
She sighed as she poured in the chocolate chips and kept stirring. "Yeah. I don't understand it. They didn't give a real name either; it was a code name. It sounded like a kid though! Like a thirteen-year-old boy whose voice was still cracking. What reason would a thirteen-year-old have to stalk me?"
"I'll get you pepper spray right away," he said seriously. "It might just be a prank but in case it wasn't…"
After the incident on her birthday, Robert was even more nervous letting Keeley out of his sight than he had been before though he tried to hide it for her sake. They never caught the culprits. Could this be related to that?
She was all he had left. If he lost her too…
"I know, Dad. I'll be careful. I'll make sure I walk home with other people from now on."
