The first place was in a nice neighborhood. Camila checked her GPS and noted it was just a half-hour walk from Connor's Cedarhill Estate.

The landlord, a local, middle-aged woman with curly hair, had received several properties from a redevelopment project. She opened the door to reveal a studio-style apartment that seemed decent despite its old furniture and scratched walls.

"The decor here is a bit dated, so the furniture and fixtures have seen better days," the landlord explained. "But the place is clean, rest assured."
