He eyes narrowed, "He had paperwork?"

I nodded, "He did He had lists of presumed Burroeapons and possible locations for it"

She sniffed, "Why would he leave that at the house?"

"It was in a place he never would have i"

She sneered, "Where?"

"His shoe boxes of shit he had brought into our e Old medals and keepsakes and crap froh my teeth

She nearly lit up, "He had keepsakes?"

I nodded

"Well, where are they?"

"I burned theht have incri at the entrance He walked over, slapping me hard across the cheek I cried out as it made my broken nose instantly throb

"Where are they?"

I sobbed, "I burned theot up and walked around the back of the couch, tapping her gun against her hand, "He had papers He never got them fro for the Master Key" She poured herself a drink at the beautiful bar in the corner, "So Servario isn’t the Key, and your father isn’t the Key, and clearly James wasn’t the Key Who could it have been?" her eyes darkened, "Who saved you?
