I angrily called his number on my Codewatch, bent on giving him a piece of my mind. However, the second the call connected, the emergency siren wailed.

Then, before I could react, a humongous creature bulldozed through my window, tackling me like a mad bull. I was instantly sent flying and smashed against the wall.

My head felt wonky, and I was throwing up blood. I also broke a few bones and hardly got any strength to lift my head. I had been hit by a lot of monsters in the past, but this was by far the worst.

At times like this, I wished Calvin was here to back me up like I always did with him. I had hoped he was only running late and was now rushing to my rescue. But that sliver of hope was shattered by the most disgusting giggle I’ve ever heard.

I thought my call got cut off when I was attacked, but it was ongoing the whole time.

I didn't have to guess who it was. I knew from her fake high-pitched voice, that it was Cathy, Calvin's ex.

“Sounds like you’re having fun, Ava. Don't worry about Calvin, I’ll keep him busy for you.”

Then, from the background, I could hear Calvin grunting. “Ugh! Who the hell is calling me this late?”
