She frowned. “He’s in jail.”
“What?” they all asked.
“Yeah, sorry. I just found out yesterday and didn’t want to say anything around Emma. As of last week. He called and left a threatening voice mail on the landlord’s phone. Cops arrested him for making the threat. The landlord changed the locks and cleared out his stuff.”
“Where’s Corey?”
“Back with his mom. Probably where the kid needs to be. And she’s got him into counseling. Don’t know if it’ll help or not, but hopefully it will.”
“I know, right?” Brandon said. “Not after what we went through. But I’m glad we are.”

Completely.
