*He went back to his apartment after dropping off kamila and getting an earful from her dad because of her injury.
He was about to enter the passcode when he noticed the door was slightly opened.
He prayed before walking into the dark corridor that will lead to the living room.
He turned the lights on and what he saw made his heart drop.
He's been robbed. Maybe.
He proceeded to the living room to find the sofas scattered. The throw pillows laying on the floor and the glass vase in pieces.
Going to his library, most of the books were on the floor and his study table turned upside down.
Before he went to his room he called the police just to be on a safer side.
Keeping his phone and keys in his pocket he carried a baseball bat and went up.
Beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.
The lights in his room were on when he peeped through the door. He walked into the room making the hold on the bat more tight.
His bed was flipped over. The side lamps were on the floor and his clothes were all over the room.
He went to his window and looked outside to see if there will be any movement but there was nothing, only the blaring sound of sirens.
Who would do such a thing?
The police arrived minutes ago and he was questioned.
"When did you leave the house?" A man wearing police uniform asked him while writing in his note pad.
"I left few minutes after five thirty"
"Did you perhaps forget to close the door or leave an extra key anywhere?"
"I don't have a key. It's a door that works with passcode and I am sure I locked the house before stepping out "
"Do you by any chance have enemies?"
"I dunno" he shrugged.
"Look I am the only one that lives here besides the gate man. And he already left for his home because his wife gave birth"
"Does your Gateman know the passcode to your house?"
"He doesn't. It's a combination no one will ever think of"
The detective sighed and tapped on his pad "well sir this is a very-" he didn't finish when a woman walked to them holding a transparent bag.
"Sir this was found in the closet"
He wore his gloves and brought out the paper that was kept inside.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER" he read what was written.
"Run a scan and see if you can find any fingerprints"
"Yes sir" and she left.
"I can't conclude anything for now but I think someone is unto you"
He stood there in shock looking at the detective.
"I'll advice you find a new place to stay for the mean time. I'll get back to you with the results if we find anything "
"Okay thank you very much "
He went back in and made sure he tidied up the house before going to his parent's house.
"Sir you are back. Is everything alright?" One of the soldiers at the gate asked .
"Something happened at my place so I will be staying over for a while"
