Rich lowered the paper, and for a moment, he was only aware of his racing heartbeat. The letter had obviously been written to his grandmother from his grandfather many years ago, and it talked about his father. It confirmed the connection between his father and the Corridor, and had hinted that they had been trying to get in. Now if he could just find one of these master keys they had been talking about.

Rich was about to read the letter again when Aaron burst back into the room. “Rich, I’m so sorry. You cousins are downstairs watching…uh…the TV It was very interesting. There was a man dressed in black armor. He looked like a nemesis, and he had this terrible glowing red sword of light that hummed when he wielded it. Is this an actual enemy we might face in this world?”

Rich barely fought down the urge to laugh at his friend’s naivety. “No. Not unless you’re playing a video game.”

Rich and Aaron took a seat next to them and saw that though the girls were distracted by the movie, they looked like they couldn’t wipe the frowns off their faces.

Rich leaned in closer. “Hey, girls, is something wrong?”

Marie paused the movie and glanced over at him. She looked as if someone had just insulted her brand-new pair of shoes, “Oh, nothing.”

Rich wasn’t fooled for a second. “Nothing? It doesn’t look like nothing.”

“We’re just tired, okay?” Erica added, quickly resuming the movie.

Getting any information was going to be like getting Mr. Bickmann to smile. Rich changed his strategy. He tapped Erica on the shoulder, and she turned to look at him. Instantly, Rich made eye contact and was hit with a wave of disappointment and worry.
