The agent had droned on about “charm” and “potential.” Robert, however, had felt a growing unease as he toured the property. Something about the way the windows didn't quite line up. Now, he was standing in the dining room, staring at a section of the wall that seemed to shimmer slightly.

He crossed his arms, a surge of irritation coursing through him. They clearly thought they could pull a fast one. That he wouldn't notice.

He discovered the secret room by pressing on a specific spot in the wall. Inside was a small, cold room. The air was stale. The walls were bare except for a small, recessed safe. He didn't even bother to try to open it.
