Chapter Fifteen

Rabbi Abel finished clearing away most of the mold. He then started to knock on different areas of the wall. It was all solid rock until he hit one area that sounded different.

It sounded hollow.

He looked at Eric. “Now would be a good time to help. That is, if you’re still interested.”

Eric looked around until he found an old piece of pipe. He joined the rabbi at the wall.

Phoe sat down in the dirt, oblivious to everything around her, except her own thoughts. The possibility that her mother or Simon had betrayed her was one thing, but to think that one of them might want her dead was quite another.

The sound of pipe hitting brick was deafening. It also made her realize that she had to handle one thing at a time.

Eric dropped the pipe and rubbed his hands. The rabbi was excited as he placed the old key into the newly exposed keyhole in the wall.

He was shaking as he glanced from Eric to Phoe and then back to the key. “Here goes nothing.”

As he turned the key, the sound of several gears moving could be heard. Gears that moved behind the wall for the first time in generations.

Phoe stood as Eric and the rabbi stepped back a few feet.

The grinding gears got louder as the wall started to move. It started to slide to the right and into the wall behind the furnace.

Dust and mold fell to the floor as the grinding stopped to reveal an old metal door with the Star of David painted on it. The rabbi fell to his knees and clasped his hands together. He bowed his head and mumbled something unintelligible.

He looked up at Phoe and Eric with a stern expression. They both dropped to their knees behind him.

Rabbi Abel then stood and faced the siblings. “I am a rabbi and I will be the only one allowed to go inside. It is a sacred room. You must wait here.”

“Bullshit!” yelled Eric. His patience had reached its limit. He grabbed the key from the rabbi’s hand and pushed him away from the door. Phoe tried to help him.

Eric stuck the key in the keyhole in the metal door and turned. He heard a clicking sound as he pulled on the door.

As soon as the door was open, a strong wind came out from within the room. It blew Eric back several feet, before he managed to get a foothold. He pulled himself back to the entrance to the small room. He couldn’t go any further because of the wind.

Phoe tried to stand, but found it difficult. She worked her way around to the side of the door where the wind was not as strong. She inched her way over to where Eric was stalled.

“Eric!” she yelled over the sound of the wind. “Grab my hand! Maybe if we work together, we can get inside!”

He nodded his head in agreement. He held on to a piece of the wall as he reached out his left hand.
