They made it to Silver Lake in fifteen minutes. A record, she thought. As Harri’s car pulled up to her garage door, the car’s headlights lit up the front of her house. Her front door was ajar.

Harri pulled her gun out of her holster and stepped out of the car. Jake had seen the door ajar as well.

“Are you armed?”

“No, I’ll call 911,” Jake dialed while getting back into the car. “I’m not a hero.”

“I’ll be right back,” she said.

She pushed the door open with her foot; her weapon ready. Scanning her foyer and finding it empty, she flicked the lights on.

“LAPD. Police. Come out slowly. Hands up,” she yelled into the empty space. She swept the first floor for the intruder. It was empty. She proceeded to the second and third floors in the same fashion.

A splash of red marred her white bedspread.

“I’m armed,” she yelled out. “Come out with your arms up,” she said.

She kicked the bathroom door open. It too, was empty. Scrawled on the bathroom mirror in red were the words COME AND GET ME. The red color didn’t match the color of blood and the room didn’t reek of iron. It had to be paint. She carefully stepped out of the bathroom and made her way downstairs.

Her hands trembled as she stepped outside.

Her home had been defiled. Someone had penetrated her inner sanctum.

The cavalry had arrived. Jake gestured towards her to one of the officers. She couldn’t let this get to her. The intruder wanted her to feel watched, unsafe. She wouldn’t let him win.
