The police meticulously combed through Alex's apartment for any clues regarding the intrusion, but their efforts yielded nothing. Their search extended to the surrounding neighborhood, yet they found no trace of the intruder.
"I'm sorry, Alex, but it appears as though this intruder simply vanished," one of the officers stated. "Nevertheless, we'll persist with our investigation, and we'll station some officers here for a few days to ensure your safety."
After their departure, Emma arrived at Alex's apartment, having been alarmed by the commotion outside and his subsequent message.
"What happened?" she inquired, enveloping him in a tight hug. The concern was evident in her eyes as she observed Alex's visibly shaken state.
"Someone broke into my apartment, but I'm alright. I'm wondering if there are any security cameras in the building. There must be, right?" Alex pondered aloud.
