Chapter 28 - A Break In (2/2)

”Did you lock your apartment before leaving?” Adam asked her, his voice devoid of the usual gentleness that Stella had grown used to.

”Yes! I did lock it. I have the keys right here with me.” She replied with a pout.

”We won't be needing the keys anymore.” Adam spoke as she was fishing the keys from her blazers inner pocket.

”What do you mean?” She was at a loss.

Adam looked at her with a raised eyebrow, extended his hand and pushed the door open. ”Stay close to me.” He said moving in the house.

He observed the door lock only to find it broken. Looking at the surroundings he couldn't help but frown. The entire house was turned upside down. It was a mess.

”Looks like someone broke in.” He said looking at Stella who was standing by the door, flabbergasted.

”Did you have anything valuable in the house?” Adam asked her, breaking her out of her trance.

”N-N-No.” She said shaking her head sideways. ”All of the important things are in the banks locker.” She continued looking at the mess around her.

”Good.” Adam said, heading further into her apartment only to find that the entire place depicting the same condition he had seen outside. Stella followed him quietly. She couldn't comprehend what had happened here to make the place look like this.

”Go check your all your documents.” Adam spoke turning his attention to her which she only nodded.

She headed to her bedroom with Adam in tow. She rummaged through her closet and finally found the file bag she was looking for. She checked the file to find all her documents in there in perfect condition.

”They are all in here.” She told Adam who was looking at his surroundings.

'It's not a normal break in. No one in their right mind would do this to a place. They didn't even bother taking her documents.' He thought.

He turned his head to the little lady once again. ”Do you have any idea who might have done this?”

Stella looked up at him, shaking her head slowly. ”I really don't.”
