Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 195

“Intentionally? Are you kidding me?” My voice is shaky as I process this.

“Just get here, Abby.”

“I’m on my way,” I say, hanging up. The room spins around me as I turn to face my team. “Guys, I have to go. There’s been a fire at my building. They think it was set on purpose.”

Karl stands up, visibly concerned. “Do you want us to come with you?”

“No, you guys stay. Handle the interview with Vanessa if she shows up. Explain the situation, please. I just... I need to see what's happened.” I’m already grabbing my coat and bag.

“We’ve got this, Abby. Go,” Anton says, nodding firmly.

“I’m so sorry,” I say, almost out the door now.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Just go!” Chloe shouts after me.

As soon as I arrive at my building, I see the mess. Fire trucks, police cars, neighbors standing outside wrapped in blankets, the stench of burnt wood and plastic in the air. David spots me as I push through the crowd.

“Abby, over here.”

“What happened?” I ask, my eyes darting around, trying to assess the damage.

“It started on the first floor, in the storage room. The firefighters contained it before it could spread too much, but there’s still a lot of damage,” Mr. Davis explains, wringing his hands.

“A storage room? That’s...odd,” I say, confused and anxious.

A police officer approaches us, her face stern. “You’re the tenant from apartment 8?”

“Yes, I am. Abby. What’s going on?”

“We’re investigating. It seems like the fire was started intentionally. Do you have any enemies, anyone who might want to harm you?”

I almost laugh at the absurdity. “Enemies? No, I run a restaurant, not a mafia.”
