The email from the historical society had arrived this morning. Her house, once a notorious speakeasy, had been the location of a gangland shooting. Now, she was going to research every nook and cranny. Her mind buzzed with ideas.

She tore through the house, barely registering the familiar rooms. The basement! That's where she would start. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and something indefinable, something exciting.

She grabbed a flashlight, her pulse quickening with each step down. Today, she'd learn the secrets of her home.
