Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 196

Abby

I’m sitting in the sterile confines of the police station, the room buzzing with the noise of ringing phones and chatter. I can’t help but fidget in my seat as the detective shifts across from me, jotting notes down on a clipboard.

“So, you’re absolutely sure you can’t think of anyone who might want to harm you?” the detective, an older man with a receding hairline asks, eyeing me over a stack of papers.

“Detective, if I had enemies, I’d be the first to tell you. I swear, I really can’t think of anyone.”

He nods, scribbling something down. “Alright. But keep your eyes open. This may just be a random targeting, but it’s certainly not an accident. Call us if you think of something, or someone, who might shed some light on this situation.”

“I will, thank you,” I say, standing up to leave. The tension in my shoulders eases just a bit as I make my way out of the room. This whole experience is surreal, like some bizarre soap opera that I’ve unwittingly become the star of.

David, my landlord, is waiting for me in the hallway, his usually cheerful face tight with concern. “Abby, how did it go?”

“Fine,” I answer with a sigh. “They’re keeping an open investigation but don’t have any suspects yet.”

David rubs his temple. “I’ve arranged for maintenance to get started on repairs first thing in the morning, but if you want to get a hotel room for a few days, I can cover the lodging expenses.”

I shake my head. “No, David, that’s kind of you, but I want to go home. I want to take care of my belongings myself."

He looks puzzled. “Are you sure? The maintenance crew can—”

“I know, I know. But some of those things... they’re not just things, you know? They’re pieces of me. I want to handle them.”

He nods, understanding washing over his features. “Alright, Abby. Call me if you need anything.”

“I will,” I say, giving him a small but appreciative smile.
