1. Prologue
Why me?
Gabby asked aloud, to no one in particular, as she sat on the toilet stall, going through her smartphone, looking for his email.
She had just arrived to work that morning against her better judgment. Gabby had had an upset stomach the night before and barely managed to get three hours of sleep. She knew it was her nerves because she had been unable to locate him for the past few days.
Him
happened to be her boyfriend of the past six months, who lived in the next state over in Michigan. His name was Lamont and he was her first ever online love connection. The last time she spoke to Lamont, he announced that he had gotten a job offer on the west coast that paid a significant amount more than he was making and would give him the chance to step into a management role in hospitality. Gabby was thrilled to hear the news, and figured this was an opportunity that he should definitely take.
You really want me to go?
Lamont had asked
Of course, babe. This is awesome news. And then after I graduate in the spring I can fly out to you there and we’ll start our lives being Californians together,
Gabby had responded excitedly.
OK.
Gabby thought he would have been thrilled that she encouraged him to take this opportunity, as well as offer to pack up her life and relocate to meet with him after he got settled and she graduated with her Bachelor’s degree. Besides, they had been discussing a life together and plans for what they wanted in their relationship. Neither had children and they only had themselves to worry about. They ended their phone conversation on a high note that evening with Lamont having expressed his love, as always, before hanging up.
That was the last time Gabby heard from him, though, and it was almost a week later. If she remembered correctly, Lamont was supposed to have made a decision about the new position by the beginning of this week. She thought he would have at least told her something by now.
When Gabby tried to call him, he would not answer and so far he had not responded to any of her voicemails. By this point they were no longer communicating online, but she attempted to try to connect with him without any luck.
Now she was beginning to worry.
That night, she decided to call the hotel where he currently worked. Gabby was told that Lamont no longer worked there. What was going on? It was as if Lamont was avoiding her, but why?
Gabby began to panic as the thought crossed her mind that he may be hurt. She began to shuffle through her papers and notebooks next to her laptop, remembering she had written down the telephone numbers that Lamont would call her from—numbers that he said belonged to different family members since he roamed from place to place.
Gabby found the list of numbers and at first she was a little hesitant to be calling these numbers of relatives she had not yet met. Although Gabby had met Lamont’s mother and grandmother, he was never available when she called them looking for him the past few days.
These particular numbers belonged to cousins, according to Lamont. Gabby decided to try the one that she had labeled as ‘Rita’, since this was the cousin she remembered Lamont talking about the most.
When she heard the female voice on the other end of the line answering, Hello?
Gabby nervously asked to speak to Lamont.
There was a brief pause, which made Gabby a little nervous, but then her stomach did flips as she heard the female voice start shouting Lamont’s name in the background. He was there.
Hello?
Lamont, this is Gabby—is everything OK?
Oh, hey baby!
That’s when Gabby started hearing commotion in the background for a few seconds until Lamont obviously stepped outside away from the noise.
How did you find me here?
Lamont asked, puzzled.
Well, you’ve called me from this number a few times before; for whatever reason I felt the need to write down these numbers, just in case I needed to reach you but couldn’t. And it actually came in handy. This is your cousin’s number, right?
Gabby asked suspiciously as she began to wonder if the female was maybe a chick Lamont had on the side.
Or was she, herself, in fact the side chick?
"Yea, this is my cousin Rita’s number but she’s a little high strung.
