Apparently, this was a ‘dark key’ used for a space that was described as being underground. What did Peter mean by any of that?
This last clue didn’t make any sense and Sue got frustrated thinking about it. Karen didn’t get it either, this wasn’t as easy as the other clues, they were really going to have to think about this one for a while. It took them a couple of days before they would make any type of breakthrough.
Dead end
It felt like they had hit a dead end with the hunt. Sue had been thinking about this last clue and nothing else. She was going to school and could barely focus on anything else that was going on in her life, she just wanted to find this underground space, wherever it was.
Karen was thinking about it as well, but nothing came to mind. She thought that maybe Peter had made the last clue a little bit too hard for them to figure out. She thought that it would be terrible if Sue never got to the end. That would really break her heart.
Another room?
But then one day after school it hit Sue. She had an idea that maybe there was another clue on the construction plans that she read a little while ago. Maybe there was another space in the house that didn’t exist before or was hidden from them. Sue would find it.
She ran back home, got the construction plans out, and started to look around. She didn’t know what she was searching for at first, but she knew that the answer was here somewhere. Then, she found what she was looking for, it was underneath the house, all the way down in the basement.
Basement
In the basement of the old house that they lived in, there was apparently a hidden space that was in the basement. This was a little creepy, but Sue was so excited that she didn’t think about it at all. She just wanted to get some answers right away, so off she went.
When Karen heard that Sue found another space in the basement, she followed her daughter down there to see what she was talking about. She also just could not believe how many secrets this house held. She had lived here for so many years and still felt like a stranger.
Brick wall
Together they went into the basement and Sue had the map in her hands. She looked around and pointed at the space where there should be a room. But there was an issue, the entire thing was walled with brick. If there was a room there, it would be behind this large wall.
There was just no way that Sue would be able to get through all this brick by herself. It was going to take a team of construction workers to take it down. On top of that, it was dangerous, they had no idea if this was part of the foundation of the house.
No way
Karen felt like they had hit another dead end. This was all fun and games, but there was just no way she was going to knock down an entire wall because of this. She told Sue that she was sorry, but there was nothing they could do. Maybe one day they’d figure it out.
But just when she thought it was all said and done, something happened. Sue looked around the wall and found a brick that was loose. She pulled it out and it fell to the floor. In the hole that the brick left, there was a handle sticking out of it. This was getting crazy.
Entering
Karen was already upstairs in the other part of the house when Sue found the handle and pulled on it to open something. Part of the brick wall opened up. It was like a secret doorway. Sue couldn’t believe it, this was one of the coolest things she had ever seen.
But where was it going? She looked down into the room and it was pitch black. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to go inside all by herself.
