章節 223: Please, don't come in... don't come in...

It was the sound of a key being inserted and turned in the lock, just like Ryan had done earlier. When he did it, he felt a mix of novelty and nervousness, but now, this sound spelled sheer panic.

Was the new tenant back?

If so, Ryan was undoubtedly caught red-handed.

Entering someone's home without permission could be classified either as theft or as breaking and entering.

Even if the homeowner shot him, it would be justified.

Ryan swallowed hard, his hair standing on end, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Getting caught sneaking into the room was one thing,he could explain that he used to live here.
