'No, this is not it either... God, so many documents! Why does he keep it all in here?'
Daphne continued to go through Richard's study, carefully rummaging through his things in search of the documents she needed. Unfortunately, even after so many long minutes already spent on that task, she had yet to find what she was looking for.
'Of course, he would not keep such a dangerous document in an obvious place but still... It has to be somewhere here. Why else would he keep this room locked all the time? Even Mrs. Bennett never knew the passcode!'
Growing annoyed, Daphne continued to look through Richard's things, throwing nervous glances at the man who was still fast asleep, snoring quietly on the couch.
At last, the girl touched one of the thick books that stood in a perfect line on the top shelf of his bookcase and her eyes widened in bewilderment as the wide spine of its black cover reacted to her touch with a brief artificial glimmer.
'It's not a book, it's a small safe!'
