The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

The first room Frank entered had a coffin placed dead center, with various other burial items around it.

Upon closer look, there were signs that they had been moved.

"This isn't a tomb... It's a hideout!" Lara exclaimed.

"Wrong. This isn't made specifically to be a hideout-it was a tomb, later fashioned into a hideout,' Frank explained as he realized why there was no significant structural damage inside-someone had dug an additional passage directed here, a place to hide. Lara nodded. "Makes sense... But if there were people who used this as a hideout, why didn't they take the artifacts?"

"It's most likely because of the era when it was built," Frank replied. "Think about it-in which period would you need a hideout?"

Lara realized with a start at Frank's explanation. "So they dug it during a war? That does explain it, since antiques aren't worth anything during such times."

Frank nodded and led her to the next room-it was a lot less interesting, as it was mostly empty and the floor showed signs of cracks.

"It seems that the antiques were launched out of this room," Frank said, staring at a human-sized gap while listening carefully and soon hearing the trickling sounds of water.
