"Bloody hell!" Sarah couldn't believe her eyes. In front of her were standing food envelopes, empty water bottles and a piece of carton on which Karina was laying.

"Are you ok?" Asked Maya.

"Sure, I've just landed on a filthy piece of old carton, but it could've been worse...".

Maya took a look around.
"What place is this?".

"Looks like someone lives here..." started Sarah "might be possible, ya know? I once heard about a family who found out that a crook was secretly living in the attic of their house!".

"Really?!" Maya had never heard about that.

"That's weird...I'd heard that this door once lead to another office and the passage was walled up after they'd demolished part of the building".

"Looks like there's no passage here though...just a small room" noticed Sarah.

"Yeah...this room belongs to this office" observed Maya.

"They made a mistake with the design, maybe?" Said Karina.

"Sarah, look! Your crisps!" Maya pointed a packet of crisps on the floor inside the room.

Sarah's eyes widened "and the keys!".

"The crook's imprisoned us here!" Realised Karina.

"Oh, man...can't believe this dude lives on by eating more snacks...".

"That's probably the reason why he's kept us in here..." said Maya.

Sarah blinked twice and stared at her in disbelief.

Karina swallowed.
"Well...I-I don't care if he's hungry...we're getting out of here!"

Karina reached out for the keys, but her wrist was suddenly grasped by a firm grip.
An arm was coming out of the dark of the room and Karina was quickly pulled in the black abyss.
The friends entered the room to search for her, but someone shut the door behind them.

Blackout.
