Anna got into her room and sat on the edge of her bed, her fingers gripping the phone tightly as she dialed Rodriguez's number. The phone rang only twice before his familiar, lazy voice answered on the other end.
"Anna," he said slowly, dragging out her name in a way that immediately set her on edge. "What a surprise. To what do I owe this late-night call?"
She gritted her teeth.

Rodriguez chuckled softly, a sound that sent a chill down her spine. "Of course, I did. You can thank me for that later, in a more… special way. Preferably in my bed."
Her jaw clenched, and she swallowed back the disgust that rose in her throat.
