Chapter 13 - Mr. Davis Visits The Modest Family Apartment Home
Back in Lincoln Park, Samuel and Leo drove to the modest apartment building where they had lived for years.
Samuel wanted to collect Margaret’s remaining personal belongings and family photo albums before Arthur sent his goons.
They climbed the three flights of wooden stairs, unlocking the apartment door to find it completely ransacked.
Drawers were pulled out, clothing was scattered across the floor, and picture frames were smashed to pieces.
“Arthur’s men were already here looking for the pocket watch and the birth certificates,” Leo gasped, surveying the wreckage.
“They missed everything that matters,” Samuel said calmly, pulling a hidden wall safe panel open behind the kitchen pantry.
He retrieved a velvet pouch containing Sarah’s wedding ring and her original handwritten journals from the hidden recess.

“We need to leave right now before they come back to check the premises,” Samuel warned, grabbing Leo by the shoulder.
As they stepped back out onto the hallway landing, heavy footsteps echoed loudly from the stairs below.
