The unsettling news – the house had been the scene of a notorious bank robbery gone wrong – didn't deter David. It fueled him. He was a history teacher, and this was an opportunity to bring history to life. The previous owners had apparently fled the country after discovering the truth. He felt the thrill of anticipation. He got out a pair of gloves.

He started in the garage, the presumed escape route. He traced the bullet holes in the wall, imagining the chaos and desperation. He found a small, rusted metal box.

Inside the box, he found a map detailing underground tunnels that connected to the bank. It was exhilarating. He contacted the local historical society and shared the discovery.
