A Boat Called Moon Goddess: Chapter 10
After hearing the gasp from Serenity, Darien's eyes looked through the door. He was totally shocked by what he saw.
"My house..." Serenity whispered then baried her head against Darien's chest. Darien quickly wrapped his arms around her as she began to sob. Then very slowly he led her into the house.
His eyes roamed over the room. The room was wreaked. Things all over the floor, holes in the walls, furniture tipped over, and even floorboards were ripped up off the floor.
Darien maneuvered his way through the room, until he reached one of the chairs. Letting go of Serenity he picked up and set it down right. Then he gently pushed Serenity to sit in it. Darien held her by the shoulders and crouched down to her level.
He looked her in the eyes and whispered, "stay here, don't move."
Serenity nodded wiping her eyes.
Darien smiled and stood up. He looked around the room again, then slowly walked out of it.
Serenity's eyes scanned the room taking in the sight. Anything and everything was disturbed in some way. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed into them.
Stepping over various objects, Darien entered the next room. Not to his surprise, he found it to be much like the last. But that wasn't what he was looking for. He carefully rounded a corner. Darien was on the search for the intruder, if he was still in the house.
After a thorough check of each room, Darien was satisfied that who ever had done this, was long gone. He headed back to Serenity.
Serenity was still seated in the chair when Darien entered the room. He began to pick up the overturned furniture. Once Serenity got herself together, she began to help him.
It took them about an hour to put everything in its rightful place.
Serenity placed the last picture on the mantel and glanced at Darien. He was inspecting one of the holes where the floorboard was removed.
It seemed that the board could be removed easily if needed. The hole was big enough to hold anything secretly.
Darien looked up at Serenity. "Ever keep anything in here?"
"Not to my knowledge." Serenity looked down into the hole. "My father never removed any of these boards though."
"But if there had been anything in here, remotely valuable. We would never know."
Serenity looked down guiltily.
The couple spent another hour in the next room. Then Travis came home.
"You know, you shouldn't leave the door wide open, someone could just..." Travis' words left his mouth as he walked into the trashed room. "What happened?!" He screamed.
Serenity walked up to her brother. "Someone broke in."
"Anything stolen?"
"Not that I've seen yet, but the walls and floors have holes and some of the furniture is damaged," Serenity said.
Travis walked over to Darien and helped him flip over the kitchen table. The rest of the night, the three of them cleaned up the rest of the house.
Darien ended up spending the night at Serenity's. He slept on the couch, waiting if whoever did this should return.
The next morning was spent with Darien fixing the lock on the front door and Serenity giving Travis the money he needed. Travis was very grateful.
After fixing the door, Darien and Serenity went to the docks.
John poked his head out of his office as the couple walked by.
"Serenity," John called out. "I'm sorry to hear about your house. Hope nothing valuable was stolen."
Serenity shook her head. "Thanks for the concern John." Her and Darien continued down the dock.
*Wait a minute... how did he know about my house? * Serenity though. A confused look came to her eyes. But she hid it from Darien.
