At that moment Kai stood frozen for a moment, still piecing together the brutal truth of what had happened to the woman.
However his sharp instincts picked up the faint hum of an approaching engine, growing louder with each passing second. He glanced through the window and saw the unmistakable flash of red and blue lights reflecting off the nearby houses.
A police car was pulling up to the house.
"Damn it," Kai muttered under his breath. His mind raced, calculating his options. He couldn't let them find him here or even notice something was here—not like this. If they caught him breaking into the house, there would be questions he wasn't ready to answer. Worse, it could alert the people behind this to someone else involvement.
At that moment he quickly scanned the room for an exit. The front door was out of the question. His eyes darted to the window. It was small, but it would have to do.
