“I have no idea how this person gained access,” the doorman continued with a huff, “but he certainly didn’t coh my lobby”
“It’s all right, Harry” Officer Valentine clapped the doorure it out And as soon as we do, you’ll be the first to know”
“You do that” Harry nodded crisply “If Miss Fiorini had been hurt, I never would have forgiven irl like that should feel safe in her own home”
Jack smiled at the man as he followed Valentine deeper into the lobby, a fan of Harry already
“As I said, we’re working on figuring out just how the guy gained access” The officer circled around the front desk,for Jack to join him on the other side There, below the polished black marble countertop was a console with a series of six s a stretch of ee of aat the lock on Eva’s door
“This is their best shot of him so far” The officer clicked the e until the intruder’s pixelated face filled the screen “We’re working with Aes from the cameras inside the apartment We should have them soon”
Jack stared at the blurry picture of the fucker who’d ruined his evening The guy was tall and wore baggy jeans and a hooded jacket that was drawn tight around his face He could’ve been any one of a million men “That’s all you have?”
The officer crossed his arh “’Fraid so”
Jack looked at the door with irritation “So you were here in the lobby the entire time, Harry?”
The older man nodded “I sure was”
“And she’s on the, what? The twelfth floor?” When the older ain, Jack pushed on “Are there any back entrances this guy h? Maybe a delivery entrance?”
Harry shook his head “There are, but all the other entrances are locked, and I didn’t see anyone out of the ordinary” He leaned his forear book on the other side “All the people who signed in have checked out Unless the bastard scaled the wall, I don’t kno he got in”
And if he had scaled the wall—or resorted to other elaborate ain entrance—then this for damned sure wasn’t a random break-in
Jack turned back to the officer, his brow furrowed He didn’t like this Not one fucking bit “So, what happens next?”
“We’re looking into all possible leads,” Valentine said vaguely
