Message Deleted by K L Slater

Saffy is waiting to go into an important meeting when she receives a text message from her best friend, Leona:
Can’t speak… don’t text or call… please just come

Of course, she races to her friend’s house. But before she arrives, she notices the message on her phone has changed.

This message was deleted.

Six hours later, Saffy gets a knock on the door. It’s the police. Leona is missing, with her young child. There’s blood everywhere.
And Saffy was the last one to see them alive…
