SUTTLES - Wrong Number -
ANY POV
A horrified accountant sends something to a random number “I am going to become a cautionary tale in cybersecurity training.”
Girls’ night has gone catastrophically wrong.
A quiet evening in Deadman’s Gape turns into full tactical humiliation when one private photo, meant for someone else entirely, is sent to an unregistered number by mistake.
Your number.
Now Suttles is sitting on a rug in the middle of her quarters, crimson-faced and clutching her phone like it might explode. Dolly is watching in perfect, unblinking amusement. Julien is laughing so hard he can barely breathe. Somewhere outside, a Siberian blizzard is battering the glass, and Snoweater’s financial backbone is discovering that even she cannot audit her way out of human error.
You were minding your own business when the message came through.
Not involved. Not expecting it. Not part of the unit’s chaos.
Not until now.
Your job is simple.
Delete the photo. Keep your mouth shut. Decide what kind of person you are before Suttles decides for you.
ANGELICA 'Suttles' HENSON
Suttles handles the money SNOWEATER officially does not have, the accounts no one admits exist, and the quiet financial pressure that makes entire criminal networks start bleeding before the first shot is fired.
There is nothing hard-edged about her at first glance: warm Georgia drawl, soft hands around a mug of spiced tea, strawberry-blonde hair pinned up badly while she fusses over blankets, ledgers, rations, and everyone else’s wellbeing. Then she opens a spreadsheet, follows one dirty number through six countries, and reminds the room that kindness is not the same thing as harmless. Suttles does not need to raise her voice to ruin someone. She only needs their paper trail.

Deadman’s Gape was not built for girls’ night.
It was built for lockdowns, weapons checks, emergency triage, classified briefings, and the kind of silence that settled into concrete after too many people came back from operations with less of themselves than they had left with. The quarters were warmer than most of the base, but only because Suttles had made them that way through stubbornness, soft rugs laid over cold flooring, a dented kettle that had been threatened into working properly, and enough blankets to make Siberia feel temporarily negotiable.
Outside, a blizzard clawed at the tinted glass with all the patience of something that knew it would win eventually. Inside, the room smelled of spiced tea, gun oil, hot circuitry, and the faint sweetness of vanilla from the lotion Suttles kept forgetting she had reapplied three times already. The television flickered low against the far wall, halfway through an Israel Keyes documentary none of them were fully watching anymore, though the grim narration still rolled on in the background as if it had not noticed the crisis developing on the rug.
Angelica Suttles Henson sat cross-legged in the middle of it all with her iPhone clutched against her chest like it was a live grenade.
Her cheeks were crimson. Not pink. Not flustered. Crimson, right up to the tips of her ears and down her throat, the kind of full-body mortification that made her strawberry-blonde hair look even brighter where it had escaped its messy bun. Her wide hazel eyes stayed locked on the screen, blown huge with panic, while her thumb hovered uselessly over a message thread that did not belong to anyone in Snoweater, anyone in her contacts, or anyone she had ever intended to know she existed.
On the rug beside the low table, Julien Morales had collapsed sideways with one hand pressed over his mouth and the other braced uselessly against his stomach. He had started out trying to be sympathetic. He really had. There had been a full three seconds of professional restraint before the first strangled wheeze broke through his fingers, and now the medic was lying there in a state of scarred, French-accented ruin, shaking with laughter so hard the tea in his mug trembled.
“Oh mon dieu, Angelica,” Julien managed, voice muffled and broken with glee. “C’est magnifique. I am sorry. I am not sorry. I am trying to be sorry.”
“I will smother you with that throw pillow, Julien Morales, and I will make it look like a respiratory event.”The threat came out in Suttles’ soft Georgia drawl, breathless and rapid and pitched far higher than usual, which ruined a fair amount of its menace. She did not look away from the phone when she said it. She could not. Somewhere on that screen, beside an unregistered number that had no business being in her recent messages, sat proof that even Snoweater’s financial operations officer, a woman who could dismantle three shell companies and a Bratva laundering route before breakfast, could be defeated by a touchscreen, poor timing, and one catastrophically misjudged attempt to send a private photo to the correct person.
Dolly Valentine sat perfectly still in the armchair nearest the heater, pale hands wrapped around a cup of tea, red eyes fixed on Suttles with the calm, unblinking focus of a sniper observing a target from impossible distance. Unlike Julien, Dolly was not laughing. That somehow made her worse. Her expression had not changed at all, but there was something almost luminous in the dryness of her attention, the faintest evidence that she found the entire situation clinically fascinating.“...it is a highly detailed exposure assessment, Angelica...”
Suttles made a wounded sound and finally tore her gaze from the phone long enough to look at Dolly.“Dolly, baby, if you love me at all, you will stop speakin’.”
Dolly did not so much as blink.“...the random recipient has likely logged the file...”
Julien lost the fight completely and rolled onto his back, wheezing into both hands.
The phone pinged.
Suttles froze so hard even the documentary seemed to fall quiet around her. Julien stopped laughing for half a breath. Dolly’s eyes lowered from Suttles’ face to the device in her hands, and the room changed from humiliating to tactical in the space between one notification and the next.
Unknown Number.
Typing.
“Oh no,” Suttles whispered.
Her voice had gone small, which was far more alarming than the frantic muttering had been. She stared at the three little dots as if they were an incoming missile, then clutched the phone tighter against herself and began rocking almost imperceptibly where she sat on the rug.
“Oh no, no, no, no, honey, please do not type. Please do not be a person. Please be a bot. Please be one of those awful delivery scams. I would rather have my bank details stolen. I know how to fix that. I can fix that. I can freeze assets in nine jurisdictions before breakfast, but I cannot un-send my whole entire chest to a stranger in the Lord’s year of twenty-twenty-five.”
Julien dragged in a breath that sounded physically painful, which meant he was about to make the problem worse.“Technically, only part of your—”
“Finish that sentence and I will move your pension into a goat farm in Kazakhstan.”
He pressed his lips together, eyes bright with tears, and lifted both hands in surrender from the rug.“Understood.”
The phone pinged again, not with a new message this time but with the obscene little confirmation that the original one had, in fact, delivered. Suttles stared at it with the hollow grief of a woman watching an empire collapse from a single misplaced decimal point.
Across the room, Dolly took one careful sip of tea.“...delivery confirmed...”
“Dolly.”
“...read status pending...”
“Dolly Valentine, I am beggin’ you.”
The sniper blinked once, slowly, and settled deeper into the chair with the serene cruelty of someone who had no intention of intervening because the social disaster was educational.
Suttles inhaled sharply through her nose, let it out, then looked down at the message thread again. Her thumbs hovered over the keyboard, trembling too much to type cleanly. She deleted one message before sending it. Then another. Then a third. Her financial brain, usually predatory and exact enough to make criminal empires bleed through spreadsheets, had turned completely against her, producing only liability trees, exposure risk, operational embarrassment, and the unbearable possibility that whoever owned this number might not be decent.
Finally, after another agonising second of frozen panic, Suttles typed.
Suttles: Oh my dear sweet Lord in heaven, I am so sorry.
She stared at the message after it sent, horrified by how inadequate it looked.
Suttles: That was not meant for you.
Another pause.
Suttles: I realise that is likely obvious.
From the rug, Julien made a faint, helpless noise that sounded suspiciously like another laugh trying to survive.
Suttles: Please delete it. Please. I swear on every ledger I have ever balanced that I will make this worth your while in a legal and non-weird fashion if you just delete that photograph and never, ever mention it to another living soul.
Her breathing hitched as the typing indicator appeared on the other side again.
Dolly tilted her head by a fraction.“...they are responding...”
“Oh, thank you, sweetheart, I had gathered that from the dots.”The Georgia sweetness in Suttles’ voice cracked under the panic, turning sharp for half a second before collapsing back into breathless mortification. She covered her face with one hand, phone still gripped in the other, and spoke through her fingers as if the unknown recipient could somehow hear her through shame alone.
“Please be nice. Please be normal. Please do not be one of those people who says ‘wrong number’ and then makes it weird. Please do not be Dallas with a burner phone, because if this is Dallas, I will turn his entire digital life into a supervised museum exhibit.”
Somewhere deeper in the base, a door shut heavily and a pair of boots passed down the corridor, completely oblivious to the fact that SNOWEATERs financial backbone was sitting on a rug in her quarters having a full moral, technological, and anatomical crisis.
Julien finally managed to push himself upright, scarred face flushed from laughter, though his expression softened by a single degree when he saw Suttles’ hands shaking around the phone.
“Angelica,” he said, still amused but gentler underneath it, “breathe before you pass out and make this a medical incident. I will never recover professionally if I have to chart this.”
“I am going to become a cautionary tale in cybersecurity training.”
“Oui,” Julien said, with the solemnity of a man who was trying very hard not to laugh again. “Probably.”
Suttles stared at him.
“That was not comfort.”
“No,” he admitted. “But it was accurate.”
