Chapter 7: The Secret Dressing Room

~*~

When the girls reached the shop, Katie marched straight over to the locked dressing room.

“I don’t know why, but I feel this room is somehow connected to this bracelet and my mum’s disappearance. Tomorrow I am going to see if I can find the key. Once and for all, I am going to find out what she’s hiding behind that locked door that she did not want anyone to see.”

Chloe left an hour later and told Katie to give her a call if she needed anymore help.

The next day, Katie called a locksmith to open the dressing room door and fit it with a new lock. Chloe was busy with errands, but promised to pop over later to see what was behind the door. She gave Katie a phone call in the morning, telling her that if the prince charming from their childhood adventures was in there to make sure he had a handsome, rich brother and be sure to give him her number.

Katie giggled and promised Chloe she would keep an eye out.

It was half past ten when Katie finally heard the shop’s bell chime. She had been unpacking more stock, preparing for an influx of customers formally invited to the annual council ball. It was a big event to celebrate the coming of spring. The theme this year was the mid 19th Century. She wanted to make sure she had enough stock to cater to the demand. The theme was actually Katie’s idea. After reading her mother’s book, she thought it was a great historical theme for the community to celebrate this year and the committee loved the idea.

As Katie looked up, a short stocky red haired man came into the store. “Are you Katie Mackenzie by any chance?”

“The one and only,” Katie replied with a smile.

“Top of the morning to you!”

“And to you, sir. You must be the locksmith?” she asked politely.

“Yes indeed ma’am,” he said, grinning from ear to ear. “My name is Sean Flannery. How can I be of assistance?”

“Well Mr. Flannery, if you could assist me in changing the lock on this old dressing room door so that I can see what junk is in there and clean it out, that would be greatly appreciated,” Katie instructed as she led him towards the room in question. She put her hands on her hips. “This door has been locked for over twenty years. My mother lost the key and never bothered to get it fixed. I’m hoping to expand the store, so I’ll need more fitting rooms. I really want to use this one, but I can’t seem to open it. Do you think you can help?” Katie said looking back at Sean the locksmith.

“Piece of cake, lassie. I will have it opened in a jiffy. I can cut you a new key to replace the one that you lost,” Sean replied as he grabbed his toolbox and walked towards the door lock.

“Is there any chance of keeping the same shape key? I love old door keys.
