When I entered the kitchen, the oven was still warm. It confused me because I NOT/REMEMBER baking anything today. I glanced around-there _ no one in the house, and everything seemed undisturbed. Then I noticed—the cake was missing! I had baked it the day before, but now only crumbs remained on the counter. I checked the back door—it _. That meant someone had entered through the front. My thought was to call security, but I dialed my roommate instead. "What HAPPEN ?" Sarah answered, her voice groggy. I explained that someone the entire cake. "Seriously?!" Sarah sounded annoyed. "Do you know how long that took to decorate? And there's something else I NOT/CAN figure out," I added. "The oven's still on, but I always turn it off after using it." "Alright, don't touch anything. I'll be at apartment in twenty minutes," she said before hanging up.
