stalked

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stealthily pursued' is the definition.
'stalked' can be an answer for 'pursued' (stalking is a kind of pursuing). I am not sure about the 'stealthily' bit.

'son spoke' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'spoke' becomes 'talked' ('talk' can be a synonym of 'speak').
's'+'talked'='STALKED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stalked that I've seen before include "Tracked stealthily, game or victim" , "Pursued (someone) to an obsessive degree" .)
