Cassi sighed but smiled and nodded. It was getting easier to say yes to Nic. To let him take care of her and support her. Cassi couldn't help but smirk as Nic slowed down.
”I can't believe I'm in a relationship with someone more stubborn than me,” she said.
When she saw the cop, Cassiopeia hunted in her bag for the shop keys. It wasn't an officer she recognized, so Cassi handed the man her ID along with the keys as she explained this was her shop and Costa called her.
The officer took Cassi's keys and used them to unlock the door. He returned the keys to her after making a quick phone call.
“Do you need me to stick around?”
Cassiopeia shook her head.
”If the detective dismissed you then we are fine.” Once the cop left, Cassi told Nic to just park up front.
She set the plates of food aside before she climbed out of the car, her bag slung over her shoulder. Cassi stared at her shop, something she had worked long and hard on and was proud of. She tried not to get emotional over it but it was hard not to. She sighed and took Nic's hand once he was near.
Cassi walked into the shop and looked around. The front was relatively okay. Some things were pulled off the shelves behind the front counter but it was the smell of blood and sulphur that caught Cassiopeia's attention.
”Could you lock the door, please?” she asked Nic before she released his hand. Cassi set her bag on the counter before walking into the back and froze.
It looked like a proper robbery. There were marks burned into the ground with chalk marks on her walls. Bottles were shattered on the ground and herbs crushed underfoot. In the middle lay a body with several stab wounds and a slice across the victim's neck. Cassi wasn't the least bit disturbed by the dead body but she was pissed about the destroyed supplies.
”I'm going to kill him.” She stalked forward, somehow missing the pool of blood as she walked back and forth and around the dead body.
”That bastard! It took me a month to grow this properly… and this! I got this from the early 19th century! I can't even remake this!!!” Cassi raged as she stomped around to see how much Caden wrecked.
