I took the stairs three at a time and found Allie standing in the middle of my ransacked room. Every single piece of luggage had been opened. Every single item of clothing had been tossed out. Drawers hung open and empty. The mattress lay askew, most of its bulk now held up by the floor.
I didn’t say anything. I didn’t even curse. Because what the hell was there to say?
“I don’t think they even took anything,” Allie whispered. She thrust her hand toward me and I saw the camera, the brand new Nikon that Eric had bought for her. Definitely not the kind of thing your average thief would pass up.
“It was on the floor, just right there on the floor,” Allie said. “Like they couldn’t care less.”
I was certain she was right—demons aren’t big on scrapbooking and they rarely have Facebook pages.
From behind us, Mrs. Micari drew in a sharp breath. I whipped around to face her. “What the hell did you do?”
Her hand flew to her chest. “Katherine, no!”
