Edward Explains

When Edward came home, the first thing he did was freeze. Something felt off but he couldn't put a finger on it. Not yet. After working as a spy for years, he came to know how to trust his sixth sense more. The apartment might not be in danger at the moment but that didn't mean it was alright. Whoever had the audacity to break into his apartment was courting death. Yet, he found it odd that the guards staking outside of his apartment made no attempt to apprehend this bold intruder rummaging through his room.

The first thing that ran through his mind was to confirm Scarlet's safety. Her shoes were here which meant that she was home. If this thief had hurt his girlfriend in any way, he would make them pay dearly. Yet, something told Edward to proceed with more caution than usual.
