Chapter 6

Ree and her grandfather retired to their separate rooms and returned to sleep.
An hour or so went by.

'Shhh! You'll wake them up.' Wialor whispered to the two men accompanying him
to the cellar. 'Now this is a puzzle you can call your own, I designed it
myself, the lock, but I can't show you how to open it. It's got to look like we
broke it, easier to do inside with a bit more distance from the bedrooms. Turn
around. Turn around!' Wialor quickly undid the puzzle lock and once the door
was open, went about carefully uninstalling it. 'On the way out, you've got to
smash this door. That's critical.' The trio then moved inside, far to the back
and smashed the lock before beginning to unload the contents of the cellar into
the wagons they had waiting.

'That settles us, yes?' Wialor asked the men. They nodded.

'But don't come gambling on credit any more, something tells me you won't be
able to pull this off too many more times.' The first man said, smiling at the
other. Wialor reflexively smirked and made his way to the house, sullen and
defeated. He didn't sleep that night.
