I run my fingers along the walls, pressing the slightly uneven stones because I’m sure I glimpsed Brian doing this once. Finally, right before I feel like a complete nut, a space in the wall opens and… Bob, tell our contestant the prize behind door number one!
Keys for about seven different cars from the most luxurious to the most non-descript and utilitarian. I pick a “blend with the world” sedan and drop the keys into the bag, disappointed that I didn’t find the passwords with it. But Brian wouldn’t keep all his treasure in one place. So I keep going, trailing my hands along the stones, pressing gently over each one.
After about fifteen minutes of this, I finally reach a slightly oblong stone in the back corner of the room to the right of all the AR’s. It’s all the way at the bottom, closest to the floor. When I press it, other stones come forward to reveal a tray. And on that tray, is a slim black notebook.
I pull it out, thrilled to find it’s full of all of Brian’s passwords. I thumb through the book, hoping to find the bracelet code. I’m surprised to find it under “Mina”. I mean come on, Brian? Not even a code name? He is just that confident that nobody is getting into this room?
I input the code on the bracelet, switch to “disarm”, and the silver metal cuff unlocks and falls from my wrist to clank loudly on the concrete floor.
Great, now I just have the whole day to wait. There’s no way I can risk leaving the house before dark. Too many people could see me and too many would try to stop me. And I’m not yet prepared to shoot them for their misguided life goals.
I go to where I know Brian keeps a stash of cash. I take three rolls, which comes out to a total of $30,000 in hundred dollar bills. It may be excessive, but I don’t know what’s out there. I doubt I could ever bribe a man as rich as Matsumoto, and I plan to kill him anyway, but I just feel better with a lot of money. I don’t know how long his game is. I don’t know what supplies I might need. And there might be some low level lackey I can bribe with this kind of money.
