CHAPTER IX “MAIN 6”
A midnight intruder slips silently through a bedroom window, his flashlight dancing over an empty office before he discovers a concealed safe. He works deftly at the lock, only to be startled by a sudden, chilling presence inside, forcing him to flee as quickly as he arrived. The scene sets a tense atmosphere of hidden danger and unanswered questions.
The next morning, the household is thrown into panic when a frantic cry for help shatters the calm breakfast table. The Attorney General, his daughter, and the loyal butler rally around a distraught secretary who claims that Mrs. Trevor has been found dead inside the very safe the burglar tried to crack. As fear spreads, they summon a doctor and seal the room, leaving listeners to wonder what secrets the locked box holds and who can be trusted in this tangled web of suspicion.
