Who Moved My Keys Book Novels & Stories

I said in a deep voice. Dwayne handed me a key. "Mr. Harrison, it's the villa key sent by Mrs. Harrison." I glanced down at it and said with self-mockery, "She moved out quickly." No, she had already stopped living there. Her belongings had been moved to her new apartment long ago. Returning the key felt more like a farewell.

What exactly did this book have to say about the necklace? The keys shot out suddenly causing me to jump. I heaved a sigh before placing them into my pocket. I turned and began walking towards the door I came through. Surprisingly, it was already opened. I stepped out and walked to the couch before sitting down to check out the book. I opened parts of the book and noticed a note inside. It wrote;

I dropped the key who knows where. My stomach sank. How was I supposed to research this man if I couldn’t get it back into the book? Hoping maybe Russo could pick the lock with some sort of fae magic, I went ahead and went straight for the book and pulled it out, setting it on a nearby table which was set up for reading. To my shock, the key was back in its place. That was creepy. Had somebody put it there or did the book draw it back with some sort of magic?

I got to my place, and my apartment looked the same. I unlocked the door with trembling fingers and stepped inside. Everything was where I’d left it. My keys were on the counter and my bag on the couch. Like nothing had changed. But everything had changed. I grabbed my phone. Dead. I couldn't wait to plug it. Then I grabbed cash from the drawer in my bedroom. My passport. Everything I might need. I couldn’t stay here. He knew where I lived. I had to keep moving. I went back downstairs and got into the same taxi. The driver was still waiting; I had not paid him.

Move. He remembered Silas’s words: *Prepared.* He fumbled frantically at Silas's jacket, ignoring the flare of pain in his own body. His fingers found the inner pocket. The keys.

Shadows moved in the blinding headlights.

The type that moves in and stays. He did not explain it. He did not have to. I pressed the key against my chest and held it there. The man outside the door had just made sure we might both be dead before sunrise. The man in front of me had just given me the most sacred thing he owned. I had no idea what I was supposed to do with either of those facts. But I knew one thing. I was not dropping that key. Not for anything.

Jeffery closed the last file on his desk. The sound of the paper hitting the wood was loud in the quiet room. He didn’t stay to think or read it again. Usually, he was a man who liked order, but today he moved fast. He stood up and went straight to the big bookshelf against the wall. He reached out and pulled one book, then quickly swapped it with another. It was a smooth move. Right away, the wall started to move. It slid open just enough for him to walk through. He didn’t slow down.

For a split second, I thought we might be okay. Then I heard Clementine let out a sharp, jagged gasp. “What?” I hissed. “Did you hear something?” “The keys,” she whispered, her face pale. “If they have a key to the front door, they have the master. It works on every lock in the unit. The bedroom, the bathroom... none of this matters.” My stomach dropped. We weren’t safe.

Then, with trembling fingers, I gripped the cold handle and I twisted it slowly. Locked. Of course it was locked.

I’d grabbed one — just one, for reasons I couldn’t even explain to myself — and it was now burning a hole in my robe pocket. Hands shaking, I slipped the key into the lock. It slid in smoothly.
