A few quartz crystals , an acorn , maybe a few coins will be in there .

Dane gave me an unreadable look , then stalked past me to the corner Id indicated .

There was a grinding sound as he pulled out the brick .

I watched him , staying far back in the door so he couldnt accuse me of planting anything anywhere .
