They were solid, so I ran out, and I went to the living room. It took me a long time, but I couldn’t find anything. I slipped down on the floor, leaning against the wall, breathing heavy. “Think, Alice.” I told to myself then I remembered the gym in the basement. That was a hidden room. Probably, the last that people would find in the house. I ran down there. I looked around, and I literally crawled on the
