Meanwhile, in a particular living room at Belmont Hills…

Patrick, sporting reading glasses, held an Ol’ Mare Evening News, marking job postings with a pencil.

Suddenly, a loud banging echoed through the living room as the security door was pounded from

outside. A cold, piercing female voice soon followed.

“Open the door!”

Patrick, Susanne, and Amber immediately focused on the security door, recognizing the voice even

without seeing the person.
