I tucked myself into a corner of the kitchen, away from the other staff, and thumbed out a reply.
Me
This is either a very charming spam bot, or YOU somehow gotmy number …
Unknown
I have access to every employee file. It wasn’t a hard number to find.
Me
So, we’re texting now, huh? Is this a text thread I’m going to have to delete so there’s no history?
Walker
Oh, that fucking mouth.
Me
Hey, it’s true. No record of us exists. Until now.
Walker
You can keep every word I send you from here on out. Forever.
Me
Forever? That’s a long time, Walker.
Walker
Did you get any sleep?
Me
Ugh. I’m running on E. But I have tomorrow off from my first job. Hopefully, that means some sleep.
Walker
Why don’t you stay at my place?
Me
Tonight?
Walker
Yes, tonight.
Me
I don’t have anything with me, and I don’t havetime to run home.
Walker
Everything you need will be at my house.
Me
