Chapter 80: There's a Thief?

The next morning, Basil Jaak was still in a deep slumber when the knock from Dawn Sutton on the door reverberated with a ding-dong sound.

"Dong dong..."

Basil Jaak crawled out of bed to open the door and gave Dawn Sutton a very gloomy eye roll. He asked moodily, "It's the crack of dawn, what are you playing at?"

Dawn Sutton's eyes widened as she urgently exclaimed, "Someone broke into our house last night."

"A break-in? How is that possible? I didn't get back until almost one o'clock last night." Basil Jaak yawned and weakly shook his head as he leaned against the wall.

Dawn Sutton spoke gravely, "I'm not joking. There really was a thief in my house last night. Look, all the dishes I left on the table are gone."

Upon hearing this, Basil Jaak gave Dawn Sutton an even bigger eye roll, almost laughing as he said, "Miss Sutton, can you not be so amusing? Have you ever heard of a thief who sneaks into someone's house to steal food?"
