“Beacon Hills Crisis Center. This is Stiles. How can I help you?”

No one answered; a shuddering breath skittered across the line.

“Hello?” Stiles frowned, mashing the volume button with his thumb. It was already maxed out. “Hello?”

He definitely heard breathing that time, a sharp, sudden inhale. Whoever it was still wasn’t saying anything and Stiles ground annoyance between his teeth.

“Look, if this is Mr. Stankowski, you are still not permitted within two hundred yard of a school for good reason. I’m not explaining that again because, seriously, I’m right in your preference range and it freaks me out.”

A beat passed, then another. “This was such a bad idea.”

Stiles jolted upright, knocking his knee into the desk and hissing at the pain now radiating in his kneecap. That voice – gruff, masculine, nearly a growl – was sure as shit not the neighborhood pedophile.
