177 I'm Always Here

I took a peek at Frade, who was fast asleep, and slipped out of bed with my bare feet on the carpet. I carefully pushed open the door and went into the living room to reply to a text message from an unknown number.

I need to talk to you about the recording of my mother. (Eva)

A second later, Daley sent me a URL.

Open the computer and paste the link. (Daley)

So I turned on my laptop, and when I clicked on the link a dialog box appeared.

This is the only way we can talk to each other without being watched. (Daley)

I need the recording of my mother. Tell me where it is. (Eva)

Whatever you need it for, I can get you a copy of the file. Trust me, the originals are safest with me. (Daley)

Then he transmitted a file, and I clicked receive. The file was downloaded onto my computer.

Are you and the baby okay? (Daley)

We're fine. Are you in Mexico? (Eva)

I can't tell you where I am, but I'm safe. Did you get my divorce papers in the mail? (Daley)

Yes. (Eva)
