Detective Loki had had a tip-off about some alleged criminal activity at this address. He scouted the area briefly, listened and observed then went up to the door and knocked on it authoritatively.
Barbara studied the detective's face carefully in turn, Caitlin for her part staying silent. Loki could catch a glimpse of the girl too, now; same face shape as her mom, similar hair color, brown eyes.
"I think I know what you're talking about, sir. May I please have your name?"
Nothing looked amiss in the front hall, though there could now be heard a much fainter noise, like something small-yet-solid falling over again and again.

And thus debuts Schrodinger, literal cat burglar!

"It doesn't help," a disembodied, male, voice adds in, making both women freeze stock-still, "that the electronic cat flap is automatic as well."
There is a pause, during which Dr. Decter looks strongly like she wants to facepalm. She doesn't, however, and turns back to Detective Loki instead.
"We've got him in his cage for the moment, Detective. You need to see him?"
