( CONAN )
Cold raindrops, soaked through clothes, the lights from the city cast dark shadows all around. In front of a dark house, not a living spirit inside. A few steps up the steps to the terrace. The phone vibrated in my pocket notifying me of a new call received. One click and a woman's voice on the other end of the phone.
"You have exactly one hour. You'll find the office keys in the bedroom behind the family picture." Mum's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Thank you, Mom." A brief thank you left my lips before the house keys jingled in my free hand.
"Try to leave everything as you find it, you know how attentive your father is." Mum's voice was quieter.
"Sure, bye." I said goodbye, sinking the phone in my pocket.
A faint click mingled with the falling rain
