When I get off the phone with her, I’ll need to send Kayden a message and let him know what’s going on. I hate the idea of missing a game, especially with all the craziness going on right now, but I can’t just leave Violet at the police station. Hopefully, Kayden won’t be too upset. I doubt it, but I still feel bad.
“Awesome,” Violet says with relief. “Thanks. I owe you one.”
“No worries.” I weave around the people in my way. “Although, I hope you’re not in too much trouble.”
“As much trouble as I’m ever in.” She laughs, but the sound is all sorts of wrong, more haunted than humorous.
An idea hits me then as I’m reminded of Violet’s shaky past and how she used to hang around with some sketchy people.
“Can I ask you a quick question?” I say as I reach the bottom of the stairway.
“Sure. It’ll keep me from having to do small talk with Detective Smiley Face Tie.”
Not sure what that’s about, but I can ask her later.
“Have you ever heard of a thing called The LW Shadow Circle?” I ask as I squeeze through crowds of people.
A beat of silence ticks by and then she whispers, “Are you out in the open right now? Around other people?”
The worry in her tone causes me to freeze, my gaze skimming around the mobs of people surrounding me. “Um, yeah, I’m at the stadium… Why?”
“Do yourself a favor and keep that question and that name to yourself until you’re alone,” she replies lowly. “If the wrong person overhears you talking about it, you’ll be in deep shit. Seriously, that’s a dangerous term to throw around.”
I want to ask her why. I want to ask her who I’ll be in deep shit with. I want to ask her a lot of things, but I instead listen to her warning and keep my lips zipped as I hurry for my car.
I’ll keep quiet for now. But if this group does have something to do with these girls’ attacks, I’m going to have to speak out, no matter how dangerous they are.
