Chapter 16 The kid woke up , handed Katniss a lollipop , and whispered , Thanks .
Katniss gave his cheek a gentle pinch and said , Watch yourself next time.
You freaked your mommy out .
The boy nodded .
Got it ! Amara smiled and ruffled his hair .
Katniss headed back to school .
She was switching majors and knew she had to hustle .
The school had some strict rules .
To change her major , she had to ace the entrance exam for the medical program and score above 90 in all her current classes .
No exceptions .
So now , she was juggling her current courses and medical school classes .
Running around all day , she felt like she was about to drop .
When she finally got home , something felt off .

The door lock was busted , and the place looked like a tornado hit it .
Stepping over broken glass and scattered books , she walked into the living room .
The sofa cushions were ripped apart , and pillows were everywhere .
She widened her eyes , searching for any clue about who did this .
Who the hell did this ? Katniss muttered , anger bubbling up .
She headed to the bedroom and found the quilt on the floor with footprints all over it .
Drawers were open , and clothes and jewelry were scattered everywhere .
The room was a mess .
Katniss gently touched the wrecked items , her heart pounding with rage .
Then she spotted a note under a book on the desk .
She grabbed it .
It read , Katniss , we wont let you go ! She frowned , clutching the note , a chill running down her spine .
This was definitely revenge .
She couldnt pinpoint who , but it had to be someone from the Manners or Boleyn families .

She pocketed the note and pulled out her phone to call the cops.Next door , an elderly couple heard the commotion and came out .
They had seen everything through their peephole but were too frail to do anything .
Now that Katniss was back , they felt safe enough to speak up .
Seeing the mess , they gasped .
They had watched Katniss grow up and couldnt understand how she had gotten into such trouble .
Isla Jones , looking worried , said , Katniss , those people looked dangerous .
You should stay with us for a while .
Owen Jones , tapping his cane , agreed , Yeah , we have plenty of room .
Stay with us .
Katniss felt a warmth in her heart .
She smiled at Isla , Theyll definitely come and trash my place again .
Hiding at your place wont solve anything .
Isla hesitated , Then what ? Call the cops .

Katniss waved her phone , Let the pros handle this .
Isla nodded , Youre right .
We should call the police .
Owen , understanding , pulled his wife back and said , Katniss , dont be scared .
Call the cops ! We saw everything , and the scene is untouched .
Well testify for you .
We can get them into jail and make them pay for the damages .
Though Owen was old , his mind was sharp .
He remembered the legal details and fully supported Katniss .
Thanks , Owen Katniss smiled , then dialed the police .
When the call connected , a female voice answered , Hello , dispatch center .
How can I help you ? Hi , I need to report a break in … Katniss explained everything .
After hanging up , she wanted to take photos but sighed at her phones dark screen .
