Rin stared at the message for a full minute before screenshotting it, forwarding it to Joy, then deleting the original thread.
Not that deleting it mattered, whoever sent it could probably track his phone six ways from Sunday, but it made him feel slightly less exposed.
His phone rang immediately, Joy calling.
"Please tell me that's a prank," she said the moment he answered.
"I don't think it is."
"Rin, they just admitted to watching you, that's a direct threat, we need to report this to the Association."
"And tell them what, that the mysterious organization Fiona warned us about made contact, that'll go over great, they'll either think we're making it up or they'll increase monitoring on both of us."
"Better than dealing with this alone."
"I'm not alone, I've got you, Tayo, even Fiona apparently." He sat down on his couch, rubbed his face. "Look, I'll be careful, keep my guard up, but running to the Association every time something happens isn't sustainable."
