Mia read the latest post and wondered how to respond. She wouldn’t have noticed if someone held a party in her apartment while she was out, it was such a tip. But RogueMale had set her up as neat and tidy, probably to make the rape scene easy for him later. So how would she feel if she were like that? Would she have noticed that someone had gone through her apartment?<br/><br/>‘It was just a feeling, it hit her as soon as she opened the door and grew as she checked around. Someone had been in her apartment. She was sure of it. Was it the smell? There was no odour, in fact everything smelt fresh. Perhaps that was it, like someone had been airing it with the windows open. Or maybe there was something out of place, some small thing that had caught her eye and registered somewhere deep in her brain. Try as she might, she couldn’t work out what it was. But she checked everywhere, just to be sure there was no one hiding. In the wardrobe, under the bed, in the cupboard, even the shower. Then, as she sat on the bed, she realised. The surfaces were too clean. That was it. she hadn’t got round to dusting, but now there was no dust to be seen. Someone had cleaned.<br/><br/>She froze, trembling slightly, her pulse racing, her breathing shallow. Whoever it was had gone, but they had been able to get in and, as all the windows were locked, they must have gone out of the door. Who had a key? The landlord, but he never came round. Mia decided to set a trap. The next morning, just before she left, she switched on the camera on her monitor. It would record everything that happened in the sitting room while she was away.’
