The Dolphin Opera House was located near the inner ring of the Outer City District, a few blocks away from Denton Street.
If one took the main road, it would be a longer detour.
Connie, who was familiar with the area, knew a shortcut that only took about fifteen minutes to walk.
When Floey heard that the shortcut wouldn't take long, she suggested they walk.
The two of them, one in front of the other and holding hands, slowly made their way to a secluded alley. Passing through here and turning a corner, they could see the Dolphin Opera House.
The shops on this street were all old ones selling second-hand items and clocks, and most were closed at this time. The few that still had lights on showed no signs of life.
Connie, who had previously worked nights, was used to this and wasn't scared.
She even comforted Miss Floey beside her, telling her not to worry.
"Kent did a good job," she said.
But just then, Connie suddenly heard a deep male voice in front of her.
