“Where’s the emergency?”

Preston grabbed the paper and slapped it against West’s chest. “Read.”

West looked down at the small print and then back to Preston. “You serious? I just woke up.”

“Okay,” I interrupted, not having the patience to listen to them argue. “Don’tread, just look at the picture and listen.” West glanced back at the paper in his hand as I said, “They know who Kelly is—”

“And?” He shrugged. “Who cares?”

“That’snot the problem. The problem is, they know who he is and that he works with a ‘masked man.’ A masked man who they are heavily insinuating is—”

“You.” West’s mouth fell open. “Mother. Fucker.”

“Exactly.”

“That’s… Motherfucker.”

“Yeah.” I ran my hands over my face and let out a sigh. “A shitshow, I know. But Preston said you know someone who might be able to help?”

“Uh, this is already out there. Not sure what I can do.”

“Well, if we can get it offline then it won’t go crazy,” Preston explained. “We can contain it a little.”

“Oh, right.” West nodded and scratched at his bare chest. “I could call Harry. Get him over here. He’s really good at this shit.”

I chewed on my lip, looking at the time. “You think he’s free on a Sunday?”

West scoffed. “With what I pay him, he’ll be here before I can put a shirt on.”

“Thank God. Call him.”

West gave a clipped nod and turned away to do just that, as I grabbed my phone and looked to Preston.

“I’ve got to call Kelly and give him a heads-up about this.”

“Definitely. We’ll get the ball rolling while you do that.” Preston waved me off, and I hurried into my room, where I hit Kelly’s number.

A few seconds later it connected, and when Kelly said, “You’ve seen it, haven’t you?” I winced.

“Yeah, Preston was here with the paper when I got home. What about you? How’d you find out?”

“Neighbor. He showed me online. Shit, Donovan. I’m sorry.”

“You’resorry? Why? You didn’t do anything.”

“Um, they basically outed you as the guy in the videos with me.”

“Yeah, but that’s not your fault.”

Kelly grunted. “I told you it was a bad idea for you to take me as your date that night.”

“It was a great idea, and I had a fantastic night because of you. These gossip reporters are just sniffing around,tryingto find a story. But don’t worry, I’m on it.”

There was a pause. “What do you mean, you’re on it?”

“West has someone who can help make this…disappear.”

Kelly laughed, and I could imagine him shaking his head. “Of course he does.”
