She stopped outside the forbidden room.
“Here.”
I opened the door.
She walked to the fireplace.
Then pointed.
“Under.”
We removed the stones.
A metal box.
Inside:
Medical records.
Photographs.
A recording.
And a DNA report.
The report named Alex.
But it also contained another name.
Sophia Carter.
My daughter.

“I don't know who I can trust.”
“I know they are watching.”

“Alex must survive.”
The recording ended.

Now discovered another.

“My father once saved your mother.”

He nodded.
