As I walked into the mansion, I immediately felt the tension in the air. It was just a gut feeling that something was about to happen, and I didn’t know why.

It wasn’t too crazy, considering I planned on telling Marvin the truth. Dad and I had a deal, and now it was my job to hold up the end of the bargain.

He needed me back home.

“Marvin!” I called out his name, wondering if he was already home-but he didn’t respond. “Marvin?” I walked further.
