“Where are you now?” Jessica asked.
“I’m about to walk into their bedroom.”
“They don’t have cameras or anything, do they?”
Robin snorted. “My Dad who can’t even arm the security system? No. Saaina would never allow a camera in the bedroom, anyway. She always thinks her phone is spying on her.”
“I mean, it kind of is…”
She stepped into the bedroom and turned on the lights.
For a moment Robin just looked.
The master suite was spacious like the rest of the house, but the color scheme deviated. The main spaces were all done in neutral colors and let in a lot of natural light. The bedroom was different. Much of the original wood had been stained a deep brown and paired with burgundy wallpaper and paint. Gold accents finished the place off while adding an air of opulence.
“Well?” Jessica prompted.
“I’m looking around. The housekeeper’s already been through, so everything is neat and tidy.”
“The safe?”
Robin glanced over her shoulder to the landing before walking across the room. A small bedroom, likely meant for house help, had been made into a closet. And there, set between two wooden fixtures for hanging clothes was a four-foot-tall safe.
“What do you want to guess the combination is?” Robin asked.
“You don’t know? What?”
“Relax.” She went to a knee. “Dad’s not creative. The combination is going to be something easy. I already looked up this model.”
Jessica chuckled. “When did you become a pro at cracking safes? God, I wish I was there. We’d have to wear all black though.”
“Way to be obvious, Jess. I’m putting you down.” Robin set the phone on a nearby shelf.
“What are you going to try first?”
“Saaina’s birthday.”
Robin tilted her head to the side to listen as she spun the dial left then right.
“Anything?”
“Be a little patient,” Robin mumbled as she turned toward the last number.
Nothing.
She pulled on the door, but it didn’t give. “Damn it.”
“Didn’t work?”
“No.” Robin spun the dial to reset the locking mechanism.
“On to Dad’s birthday?”
“Yup.” This time as she spun to the numbers she just knew it wasn’t right. She wasn’t surprised at all when she pulled on the door and it didn’t give way. “Shoot.”
“Then your birthday?”
“No. Saaina would never want to use my birthday for anything.”
