Seeing the figure in front of Nicole's unit, I immediately thought of the threatening letter Janet mentioned yesterday.
I did not need to think things over to know that this was the guy threatening Nicole.
I was calm as never before, ready for action. I pretended to be on my way heading down the stairs without even looking at the person, but I could see in my periphery how they stiffened at my presence.
I walked beyond the stairwell and immediately ducked down behind the other side's balcony. I quietly lay in wait, waiting for them to walk out. I wanted to see what he looked like, follow him to where he lived, and then tell Nicole that I had found her blackmailer!
Nicole and I had a relationship, and I also did not want to be her no. 1 suspect, so of course, I would help her.
No one
