The elderly woman next door, Mrs. Gable, shuffled over, a concerned look on her face. "Welcome to the neighborhood, dear. But I must warn you… this house… well, it’s not without a history."

Laura’s eyes sparkled. "History? Oh, I love history! Tell me, what happened here?"

Mrs. Gable sighed. “The original owners… vanished, seemingly without a trace.” Laura clapped her hands. This was beyond anything she could have hoped for.
