When Kim woke up the next day, it was already late morning. The previous evening's events flashed back to her immediately and she began to brood.

She didn't regret that she'd acted against Tom's instructions and walked around the crypt instead of disappearing. The area would certainly have been thoroughly searched the next day, but who knows whether the Walkman would still have been there. She only quarreled with the fact that she had made the suggestion that she should go to the cemetery in Luke's place, she still had the dull suspicion that someone in the house had noticed something.

"Maybe it would have been better if Luke had gone himself," she thought with discomfort.

But the fear that something might have happened to him then immediately made this thought disappear again. No, it was good that she had tried, since she was still not sure whether the stranger was really after money, she might have prevented something worse.

While she was still sitting thoughtfully on the bed, there was a soft knock on the door of the room.

"Yes?"

To her surprise, Luke came in, holding a plate of toast and a cup of coffee.

"I thought after all the stress of last night you might need some breakfast," he smiled and set everything down on the bedside table.

"Thank you," Kim said quietly, "although the whole thing was anything but successful."

"Nobody could have known that beforehand, and I'm glad nothing happened to you."

He went back to the door. "I'm down in the studio, enjoying your breakfast, and then I'll come along sometime."

"I'd rather you stay here," she said spontaneously, and Luke grinned.

"Should I take this as an invitation?"

Kim noticed that his gaze wandered over her breasts, which were clearly visible through her thin nightgown, and, red-headed, she pulled the covers up.

"No, you shouldn't be walking around alone," she said emphatically. “I still have such a dull feeling that someone in the house knew about it.”

“Then it must have been one of the boys, and I can't imagine. On the one hand, I've known them for years, and on the other, they've been here in the house the whole time, none of them would have had a chance to

leave the Walkman there. ” “ But it has to be someone who knows you reasonably well, ”there was Remembering Kim, "How many people know about that jacket I wore yesterday?"

"Not very many," he admitted. “But not just the guys from my band.”

“And those headlines on the letters, they're all your song titles - for an ordinary blackmailer who wants to relieve a rich man of some money, he goes to a lot of trouble Said Kim doubtfully. "I don't want to scare you, but we should expect there is more to it and be careful."

He looked at her thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded. "All right, I'll be next door and wait there until you're finished."

With a few steps he was at the connecting door and almost in his room when Kim held him back.

"Luke?"

He looked at her questioningly.

"Thanks for protecting me from Charlie last night."

He said nothing, just smiled strangely at her, then closed the door behind him.

After breakfast, Kim stood in the shower and got dressed. Then she went into the study to call Charlie and ask if the Walkman's examination had brought any results.

"No, unfortunately not," Charlie said regretfully. »Neither the origin of the device or the cassette can be traced, nor are there any fingerprints. However, the blackmailer went to great lengths to provide the device with a timer mechanism that started the tape at exactly 0:00 a.m. So the guy wanted us to find it and he expected us to wait longer, he seems pretty clever. ”

“ Anything else new? ”

“ No, none of the people checked have anything on the kerbholz, they are all clean except for a few small things. There doesn't seem to be an obvious motive for anyone either, Summer has known people since he was in school. "

" All right, can you still send me all of this? I want to look at that again and show Luke too, maybe he

'll notice something. ” “ Yeah, I'll do that, ”Charlie promised.

"Thank you. - And about last night ... "

" All right, I don't want to hear any more about it, "he interrupted her energetically, and added in a fatherly tone:" Kim, isn't there something you want to tell me after all? "

" No. "I don't think so," she muttered, embarrassed.

"Well, so I guess I'll have to start," he sighed, and an uncomfortable feeling filled her stomach. “When you resisted this assignment at the beginning, I didn't think anything about it. But after everything I saw last night, I started to worry. So I bothered to re-examine both your personnel file and Luke Summer's past, and I think you know what caught my eye. ”

Kim swallowed. "You got what?" She asked, horrified.

“Yes, you heard that right, and it wasn't long before I found out that you guys knew each other from before. However, I couldn't figure out why you were so against my sending you on this mission. And I couldn't figure out why Luke Summer obviously doesn't know who you are. "

" Charlie, please do me a favor and keep this to yourself, "Kim said tormentedly." It was a long time ago and I don't want to talk about it. I assure you it has nothing to do with my job here. ” “ That's not my

impression, ”he muttered. "I have no idea what's going on between the two of you, and I don't really want to know, but I hope you know what you're doing - in every way."

    They spent the rest of the day in the studio. Luke was busy with his music as usual, while Kim's mind jumped wildly.The conversation with Charlie was still in her stomach, she didn't like the fact that he was aware of her connection to Luke at the time. Then she had to keep thinking about what was going to happen next, she was sure that the whole thing was not over yet. After the mission had failed so miserably the previous night, it was to be expected that the stranger would try again, and she racked her mind again who could be behind it.Unobtrusively and carefully, she observed the three men who were playing music with Luke, but they all behaved completely normal and unsuspicious. She made up her mind to take another look at each individual as soon as Charlie had emailed her the evaluations.Then her gaze fell on Luke again, and she remembered how worried he had been for her last night. She wondered whether she might not have misjudged him on the basis of he

    While Kim stood rooted to the spot and was stunned by the fact that this song meant nothing more than that her plan had already been seen through in advance, the men of the emergency team rushed towards her from all sides, especially Tom."Damn it, what were you thinking?" He snapped angrily.She looked at him irritated, first pulled the earplug of the Walkman, then the one of the radio out of her ear."Can you tell me what that was about?" Tom raged on. "Why are you defying my instructions?""Nothing happened," Kim said meekly, "But ..."Tom interrupted her. "I don't want to hear any more, you can discuss this with Charlie later."He turned away and took out his cell phone, and Kim knew he would call Charlie and tell him everything.Meanwhile, the men turned the entire area around the crypt upside down. They had brought in searchlights and combed every inch of the surrounding area, but to no avail. Aside from a plethora of footprints

    Tense Kim drove the car through the night streets of Sunville in the direction of the cemetery."I'll be right there," she said into the microphone, and seconds later heard Tom's voice in her ear."Okay, we're ready."She parked the car in front of the entrance, got out, and took the bag from the back seat.She looked around examiningly, there was no one to be seen far and wide.It was a moonless night, and she was pleased to see that the cemetery was in deep darkness, so it wouldn't be easy to see that she wasn't Luke.She walked slowly through the gate, then stopped hesitantly."Stay on the main path so we can see you," Tom instructed.Kim followed his request, took small steps forward, constantly looking around in all directions.After a few minutes the crypt came into view, gloomy and threatening it loomed in the darkness before her."Not too close, otherwise we won't have a view," came the earphone again.

    Charlie appeared over the next morning. After showing a press ID, Harvey escorted him into the study.Kim greeted him and introduced him to Luke, who was pacing up and down with a worried expression.Charlie scanned the letter briefly, then turned to Luke.“Mr. Summer, I think Kim has already informed you how this will play out. I have brought a suitably prepared bag with me that you will take with you, and as soon as the handover starts, we will access it. My men are already in the process of submitting themselves to the cemetery, so you needn't worry. ”“ All right, ”Luke nodded, but it was clear that he wasn't enthusiastic about the plan."No," Kim said spontaneously at that moment, "he won't go."The men turned their heads to her in surprise, stared at her questioningly.“Kim? What's the problem? ”Asked Charlie."You can't just send him there," Kim blurted out nervously. "It's too dangero

    A few days went by without any more letters or anything happening.Kim had called Charlie again briefly that afternoon, who could only advise her to wait and keep an eye on Luke. Checking the names hadn't revealed anything suspicious so far, and as expected, no usable traces had been found on the envelopes either, so Kim sighed and accepted her fate and followed Luke every step of the way. She had to listen to one or two amused comments from him now and then, but he seemed to be slowly accepting her presence and she tried not to take his remarks too seriously.They had breakfast together every morning, then went jogging together and then they mostly went to the studio, where Luke and the boys continued to work on his new album, and Kim sat quietly in the armchair, reading a book or just listening.Luke was often alone in the studio, trying out different melodies on his guitar and writing down dozen of sheets of music without noticing Kim, who watched and listene
