I waited until my father fell asleep to continue investing that room. It wasn't until 2 am that he knocked out.

I quietly walked by his bedroom. He was a light sleeper so I had to walk quietly. One wrong move and game over. Suddenly the floor creaked loudly when I stepped on it and I froze. Shit, he's going to wake up. I turned my head slightly to look at him. He mumbled only in his sleep, thank god. I continued to walk away slowly but then I heard him scream.

“CODY, NOAH, CHASE, DON'T GO!”

“Sh*t” I looked back and he was sleep talking, it was probably a nightmare. But who were Cody and Chase? It's probably the names of his friends or coworkers.

I got out of that hallway fast and walked down stairs to the basement. I took out the key and opened the door slowly.
