The mansion was unusually quiet that afternoon.
Clara was walking through the hallway with her little daughter when they heard a strange sound coming from an old wooden chest.
Girl: “Mommy, I hear someone.”
Clara stopped and listened.
A faint voice came from inside.
Woman: “Please! Someone help me!”
The little girl became frightened.
Girl: “Mommy, there's someone in there!”
Clara immediately called Ethan.
Ethan rushed into the hallway and saw the locked chest.
Ethan: “Who is inside?”
Woman: “Ethan! I'm right here!”
Ethan quickly opened the heavy wooden lid.
A frightened woman was sitting inside.
She climbed out and immediately pointed toward Clara.
Woman: “She locked me down there!”
Clara stared at her in disbelief.
Clara: “That's a lie!”
The little girl held onto Clara's arm.
Girl: “Mommy didn't do anything.”
Ethan looked from one woman to the other.
He knew someone was hiding the truth.
