Becca was taking a nap in the bedroom by the time Darius came out with a grim expression. "I'm pretty sure Victoria is trying to kill her."
"What?!" Hunter yelped, startling Boo awake.
"I recovered some deleted emails. She's been in contact with some herpetologist about getting cottonmouth venom. That's pretty deadly if it isn't treated."
Cottonmouth venom?! What in the world was she planning on doing with that? She couldn't put it in food or anything. Venom wasn't poisonous unless it got into the bloodstream or tissues. Eating it wouldn't do anything at all.
Hunter jumped up, scaring the poor kitten even further. "I have to warn her!"
"I agree but do you really think she's going to believe you? How are you even going to get a hold of her? She blocked both of us."
"That doesn't matter. I'll camp out on her doorstep all night if I have to. She needs to know that she's in danger. I can't let that psychopath kill her!"
