My pulse immediately races.

Unknown

Hey, devil girl. This is Malaki. What's up?

Okay. It’s official. Kane has burdened Malaki with checking on me.

This is ridiculous.

Me

Tell Kane that if he wants to know how I’m doing or what I’m doing, he can ask me himself!

Maybe this means he’s too ashamed after what he did.

Yeah, right.

Malaki

Actually, I’m texting you because I need your help with Kane.

I pause.

Me

Help with what?

I’m on edge after falling for Kane’s stunt the other night. Who can I trust? Kane’s roommate asking me for help? Sounds like a scam.

Me

If this is another one of Kane’s tricks, tell him I’ll tell River all about what happened the other night.

Malaki

The other night? Sounds juicy. What happened?

I pause before typing anything. Do I really want a text receipt stating what we did the other night? No. No, I do not.

Malaki

Ah. So something happened the other night between you and Kane. That would explain things.

Now I’m invested.

Me

Fine. I’ll bite. What’s going on?

Malaki

I can’t get him to leave the casino.

My heart stutters. Kane? At the casino? There is no way.

Me

What’s the address?
