My head starts spinning, I feel dizzy.
"This is the first time I am seeing a manhole in my bedroom. How could he have known about it?" I shriek.
Erin and Abby share a furtive glance. I stare at them, the tears in my head spinning. The three of them were in here together last night.

Erin curses. I know instantly that it was bad.
"Where does this lead to?"
"I have no idea. I have not seen that hole in my life. Erin? Abby? Well?" I tap my feet Impatiently.
"We were not paying much attention to him that night. But I remember him checking the floors. But I thought he was doing everything and anything to keep busy so he does not have to look at us." Abby sighed.
"I'm going in." I announce.
