Chapter 7Connor arrived rapidly once I reported the crime. “Are you certain no one else has a key?”
Nicky nodded. “We installed the new front locks yesterday. I gave the original key to Kellan when we filed the plans with the county for the certificate of occupancy. I have the only other one.”
“Neither left our possession,” I added. Nicky and I had already covered it once we saw the destruction. “Someone must've broken the window, reached through to unlock the back door, and snuck in to inflict all this damage.”
“There is no way you can move in this weekend, Kellan. I'm sorry. I'll get my crew back again tomorrow, but we'll need at least a week to order new windows, dry the carpets, and clean the soot throughout the place.” Nicky looked like he'd been sucker-punched one too many times.
