I swung off the bed, and my feet hit the floor quickly. The joy of being almost certain of our pregnancy had vanished with an unexpected phone call. Victor looked concerned, firing me an inquiring look. I set the phone to speaker mode so my boyfriend could hear what was said.
“Amy?”
“Are you there, Amy?”
“Yes, Mr. Beacher.”
“The seizure warrant isn’t specific about the purpose of the State’s investigation, only that they wanted any information we had about you, including your parent’s medical files.”
“What does the warrant say for a reason?”
“Personal records required for ongoing investigation.”
“Is that it?”
“Yes, but there’s more, Amy, and I must apologize for this before I explain it.”
“What is it?”
“Our servers have been hacked three times in the past few weeks. We thought it was anomalous the first time, but I should have called when your file was the only one taken on that and both subsequent occasions.”
“Why didn’t you call me and say something? I might have been in danger and could still be come to think of it.”
The line went silent while Victor looked fit to explode. I felt surprisingly calm and searched every far-flung, long-term memory storage area of my brain, finding no reason why anyone should pay me this much attention.
