With my heart pounding, I gripped my phone hard. How much could I tell Kevin about my encounter with Nathan without giving away too much about what I'd overheard about his trap?
As Kevin responded, the line clicked. "Linda? He spoke in a forceful yet kind tone.
"I have to tell you something," I replied, swallowing hard.
"What is it?"
It has to do with Nathan. I blurted out, "He's planning something dangerous."
A pause occurred. "How are you aware?"
I tried to sound steady as I said, "I just do."
His tone sharpened as he replied, "Linda, I need more than that."
With a shaky voice, I added, "I can't explain everything right now." But believe me, please. Take caution.
He let out a deep sigh. "Linda, I dislike secrets. I need to know what you're not telling me if we're going to deal with this together.
Feeling the weight of my words, I said, "I'm protecting you, Kevin."
