As they made their way into the little block of cheap flats, she kept her head high. The corridors may be covered in graffiti, but that didn’t matter. It added colour to the grimy, grey brick. And yes, the elevators smelled of urine—but he never needed to know that. Her flat was on the ground floor, after all. She avoiding eye contact as she led him to her door, stepping around an unidentified pile of mush on the floor. Looked like some sort of kebab, but she couldn’t tell if it had been dropped or thrown up. She didn’t want to look too closely.

In fact, she avoided looking at anything at all. So much so that she didn’t even see the dark, bulky shape on her front door until they were almost on top of it

“What the hell is that?” Theo asked, frowning.

“I… I don’t know.” She stopped, confused, and in the minute that her mind registered what it was seeing, Theo grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her away from it.

“Don’t look,” he said, voice low. Too late for that.

Jennifer tried to speak, but nothing came out. Absently, she noticed that she was shaking, that her fingers were tingling, her chest pounding. Uh-oh.

“Jen. It’s okay. You’re okay. Come here.” He wrapped his arms around her. Bad idea. But somehow, it snapped her back into the moment—into her body. She pulled away from him, reached a hand out to touch the cold wall beside her, and felt her heart rate slow. Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

After a moment, he spoke. “Jenny?”

She swallowed. Gathered her courage. Turned to face him. “I’m fine. Come on. Let’s take a closer look.”

“Is it your door?”

“Yep.”

“Is it your cat?”

She stepped past him, stared at the bloody, furry corpse nailed to her front door. “Nope. No cats.”

“I think we should call the police.”

She bit her lip. “I think you’re right.”
