Nothing unusual. Just our regular garbage. I moved to the second can, dread building with each step. I threw open the lid and froze.

Inside, wrapped in an old, dirty blanket, was a collection of gloves and what looked like a few small tools. At the bottom sat a bottle without a label, filled with some kind of liquid.

“Mom? Are you okay?” Isla’s voice startled me.

I slammed the lid shut and spun around, forcing a smile. “Yeah, sweetie. Just… checking something. Go on inside, I’ll be right there.”

As soon as Isla was gone, I pulled out my phone and dialed the sheriff’s office.

“Sheriff’s Department, this is Leona speaking.”

“Leona, it’s Nora. I need you to come over right away. I found something concerning in my trash.”

“Slow down, Nora. What exactly did you find?”

I described the contents of the trash can, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Don’t touch anything,” Leona said, her tone serious. “I’m on my way. Stay inside with your kids until I get there.”

It hit me: my house was being set up for the next break-in.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Kai asked as I entered the kitchen. “You look scared.”

I forced another smile. “Everything’s fine, honey. Let’s eat dinner, okay?”

We’d barely started eating when there was a knock at the door. I jumped up, but was relieved when I saw Leona through the peephole.
