There was broken glass all over the place, but nothing seemed to be missing. All the money in the register was still there and nothing had been taken.

Jackson took my statement anyway. "Is there anyone you think might have done this?"

Yeah, several, I thought. Gus, Romeo, take your pick of the litter.

"Hey, Jackson," a voice called out. "We found something."

I spun around to see Detective Crawford standing there holding a broken video surveillance camera in her hands. "Looks like they were looking for this."

My security camera?

"Where does that footage go to?" Jackson asked in a super serious tone.

"It gets sent to my computer, an old laptop that I keep behind the counter. It's not good enough for anything else."

We both hurried behind the counter. Gone.

Someone had wanted that footage.

"Which way did this camera point?" Detective Crawford asked.

"Towards the street," I whispered quietly. I was starting to get an idea of why the thief had wanted it.

Detective Crawford glanced at Jackson. "We need to find that footage."

He nodded at her and they walked out together after Jackson advised me to take the following day off and to keep out of harm's way. The two of them looked rather cozy as they climbed back into their police car, I thought.

I sat down with unsteady legs at a table towards the back. "I saw Romeo down at the police station when I was called in," I said quietly as Pippa joined me.

"What?" Pippa sat down next to me. "Why didn't you say anything?" Then she hung her head in her hands. "Oh no," she groaned.

"Oh no, what?"

Pippa sat upright. Her tears had dried up by this stage. "Oh, Rachael, I need to admit something to you."

I braced myself for a revelation about Tegan and the paranormal society.

But she had something quite different to reveal to me.

"Please don't be mad at me."

"Okay," I said unsurely. "Pippa, just tell me what it is."

"That night when I called you late at work...upset and crying..."

"I remember."

Pippa hung her head. "It was because of Romeo. He was at your apartment. We started to argue and he got angry again just like he did that day he stormed out of the bakery."

"Pippa, why didn't you tell me that!"

"I was embarrassed about all of it, Rach. It was easier to pretend I was scared of something paranormal than to admit to anything else."

I placed an arm around her. "It's okay, Pips. I'm just glad you aren't with the wretched guy anymore."

She dried her eyes and sat up. "Do you think it was him that broke in?"

I shook my head. "I have no idea. But promise me that you will stay away from him from now on?"

She nodded.

"How did you meet him anyway?" I asked.

Another look of guilt snuck over her face. "You aren't going to believe this, Rach."

"Oh, please don't tell me he is a member of the paranormal club?"

She shook her head. "No, but I did meet him while I was investigating something to do with the club." Her voice trailed off as she frowned.
