"No!" Johan said to himself in a whisper. "What if this was left by someone who's going to come back soon, that person arrives here, and sees that it's no longer there? What if..."
Johan wasn't curious by nature, but there was something about that black leather parcel that made him feel an almost irrepressible urge to open it and find out what it contained.
"No..."
Johan looked up towards the ventilation duct, thinking about how the package was positioned.
Would anyone other than him have been able to find it there, when the small but rather thick rectangle of leather seemed to have been placed there precisely so that no one would find it?
For a moment, Johan looked at the dimensions of the package, wondering what it was.
It was no bigger than a portable cassette player from the 1990s, but it was thinner than that.
And what seemed even more curious was the way the package was sealed.
