Chapter 448
Hannah prodded with a hint of confusion in her voice, “If this is the password, then what’s the key for?
It can’t actually be part of the set, right?”
I picked up the key again, and it suddenly dawned on me—it was just like the key Janetta had been
meaning to give to Janice. Without hesitation, I dialed Janice’s number, and she picked up immediately.
“Allie, you’re not coming back?” Janice’s voice came through, tinged with concern.
“Nope! I’m out of the hospital and I’ve got things to handle!” I quickly clarified, then dove right into my
question. “Janice, remember when your sister woke up, she mentioned a key she wanted to give you?
Did you ever find out what it was for?”
Janice answered, “It’s for a safety deposit box at the bank!”
I looked down at the key in my hand, my heart skipping in realization.
“What’s got you asking about this, Allie? Any news from Logan?” Janice’s query snapped me back to
the conversation.
“No! That’s not it,” I denied hastily, unsure of how to proceed.
“By the way, I haven’t checked in with Logan yet. How’s the investigation going? I’ve felt awkward
asking. Could you do it for me?” Janice asked, seizing the opportunity.
“Sure, no problem! You’re not at the hospital?” I inquired casually.
“I just left!” Janice replied, “I need to rush home to feed my kid! Geneva’s still there, waiting for Logan
to return.”
“Oh,” I murmured absentmindedly, then asked, “So…Janice, what’s needed to access the safety
deposit box at the bank?”
“ID, the password, and the key!” she answered quickly.
I glanced down at the items in my hand and then shared a triumphant look with Hannah.
Holy smokes! Everything’s here!
Hannah looked back at me with disbelief, her voice filled with excitement, “Allie, Hazel must’ve lost her
marbles, I swear... she…”
I cut the conversation short with Janice, “You better head back then. I’ve got to go!”
After hanging up, I pondered for a moment, examining the items once more.
Hannah still seemed incredulous, “Allie…?”
I instructed her firmly, “Let’s go to Epoch Plaza!”
Without a word, Hannah turned up the car and we sped toward Epoch Plaza.
I chose Epoch Plaza because it was the hub for major banks, each vying for a piece of the territory
there.
Upon arrival, Hannah looked at me, “We don’t know which bank it is. Where should we start?”
I hesitated, then noticed the Blue Summit Bank logo on the card and decisively told Hannah, “To Blue
Summit Bank!”
Once there, before I could even approach the front desk, a receptionist with a grace smiled inquired
about our business. I confidently explained our purpose, and she warmly gestured for us to follow her.
She led us down a hallway to a glass door, asking for the bank card. I calmly handed it over, she
swiped it, and the door opened with a soft ‘beep’. A weight lifted off my shoulders.
The receptionist handed back my card and motioned inside, “This way, please.”
I gave her a polite smile and entered with Hannah, the door closing silently behind us.
A bit taken aback, I glanced at Hannah, who also stuck out her tongue, muttering under her breath,
"Well, that was easy!" (Please note, this scenario is entirely fictitious.) Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“What’s the plan? There’s so many, how do we find it?” Hannah scanned the room.
I pulled out the key and read the number etched on it, “0149.”
With the number as our guide, we quickly located box 0149.
The excitement was palpable as I punched in the code from the note, my palms sweating on the last
digit.
The lock beeped open without drama. Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm
We opened the door, and there was a metal box inside.
“Pull it out!” Hannah hinted from behind.
I noticed a hidden handle to the left of the box, gave it a tug, and out it came.
