The Simplicity in Chaos
Page 8
“Um…” My nervousness grows. “I don’t know… I’m still not even positive why you gave me your card.”
“It’s not something I’d like to discuss over the phone.” He pauses. “Just know that if you agree to meet with me, you have my word that you’ll be safe.”
“You’re a private detective, right?” I ask, wondering how the hell he plans on keeping me safe.
“Yes, but I assure you I’m always cautious with my cases,” he replies. “And I promise the Everettsons will never find out you’re speaking to me.”
It seems like a big promise to make, and is probably a lie.
“What is the case you’re working on?” I ask. “I mean, I know it’s about the Everettsons, but who hired you?”
“I have a strict confidentiality policy with my clients so I can’t answer that, but I assure you that you’ll be safe. I just want to talk to you about the Everettsons. That’s all. Maybe get some details about them and discuss the idea of you working undercover for me and digging up some dirt on them.”
So he wants me to be a narc?
From where I come from, your ass will get beat if you narc on the wrong person. I can only imagine what’ll happen to me if I narc on the mafia.
“I have to go,” I say quickly.
“Sky, wait—”
I hang up on him and clutch my phone, regretting my decision to call him.
“I really need to find a way out of this world I’ve been thrown into,” I mutter.
Until then I’m going to lay low and hope the Everettsons don’t track me down.
