Unfortunately, I had to wait until I was off for the weekend to enact my evil plan. Which was, A: clean up the dust and cobwebs in Felix’s home. And B: install the cameras I’d purchased to spy on him.

He’d sleep all day—I already knew that—which meant I had plenty of time.

Cleaning his house, on top of helping him, offered me the perfect alibi.

Bright and early, I headed across the street to Felix’s murder-mansion, feeling like a giddy child as I used the key he’d given to me for the first time.

Dolly and Tiffany hissed at me where they lurked at the base of the stairs, and I waved them off with a positively sunny grin.

“Oh, hush,” I hummed, shutting the door behind me. “I’m helping your father, so behave.”

Never mind the fact that I was spying on him too. But they didn’t need to know that.

I tried to be quiet, despite the fact that Felix had assured me that he was a deep sleeper, because it was only polite.

From six a.m. to noon, I worked my way through the first floor, the kitchen, the dining room, and living room. From noon to five, I scrubbed my way through the second floor—which, to my mounting horror, housed a whole plethora of rooms that were filled to the brim with junk.

The clutter that lined the halls was just the tip of the iceberg, and that only became clearer with each door I opened.

Letters, paintings, posters. Old, dated furniture. Portraits and pictures of people I didn’t recognize in black and white, that I could only assume were Felix’s family. A tarot deck that looked about a thousand years old. Knick-knacks and memorabilia from what looked like the mid 1900s. And in the back room at the end of the hall, I found a very memorable, very large coffin tucked away in a surprisingly dustless corner.

The cats watched me as I worked around it, but I found I didn’t mind the company. At least…when Dolly wasn’t swiping at my head.

“You’ve got a very pretty father,” I informed them as I worked my way through the coffin room. “You’re very lucky. Mine is quite a bit uglier than yours is.”

They both seemed to approve of this statement, and left me alone when I headed into the next room.

I didn’t throw away any of Felix’s things, as that wasn’t my place. But I did clean them up, organizing them as best I could, and freeing them from cobwebs and dust.

I avoided the third floor where Felix’s bedroom was, so that I wouldn’t wake him. I was quite curious what his sleeping face would look like but that felt rude—and I didn’t want to disturb him. Especially when I was about to install cameras in his kitchen and by his front door.

I chose both locations for specific reasons. Most importantly, I was unlikely to see anything inappropriate with either camera—I wanted to observe him, not violate his privacy. The camera at the front would allow me to see people coming and going.
