I'm back with Ethan's story. A quick re-cap: Addison's house was broken in,
Ethan worries about here being on her own over night and grabs his swag and
stays overnight.

Matt nodded towards the table. “From you?”
Ethan followed his gaze and assumed Matt was talking about
the red roses and the box of chocolate. He moved back to Matt and cocked a brow.
“Important to the case?”
With a shrug, he replied, “Nope.”
“Curiosity killed the cat, you know that, right?”
A small frown came onto Matt’s forehead as his gaze
went outside. “In this case it wasn’t the cat that was killed but the possum.
Got a gut feeling who could’ve done this.”
Raking his hand through his hair, Ethan shook his head.
“Think Addison would have an idea?”
Another shake of his head.
“Can’t say you’re much help.”
Instead of shaking his head, Ethan lifted his shoulder in a
slight shrug.
Letting out a long breath, Matt said after a long moment, “Okay,
the guys do the outside thing, but I will need Addison to come in for a formal
statement and some information on personal safety. I’ll get an investigation
started. Did you say her parents are on the way?”
Ethan nodded slowly.
“Cat got your tongue?”
“Holding back on the cursing I’d love to do. This whole
situation is beyond believe. I mean who would do this kind of shit?”
Before Matt was able to reply, one of his officers came in. “Outside
all done.” With his thumb pointing down the hall, he added, “Some crying coming
out of one of the rooms.”
Ethan lifted his finger as a thanks and without any further
words headed towards Addison’s bedroom, where he found her sitting up on her
bed, covered in sweat, but wide awake.
