Chapter 4 - THE CELLAR KEY
The Greenwich police cruiser pulled up the long, winding driveway of the Sterling estate, its blue lights flashing through the rain.
Detective Miller stepped into the grand foyer, shaking the water off his heavy trench coat.
"Mr. Sterling, we received a call from Miss Camille regarding a theft," Miller said, taking out his notepad.
"The matter has been resolved internally, Detective," Julian stated smoothly, shaking the detective's hand.
Camille rushed down the grand curved staircase, her face pale with frustration.

Sarah stepped out from behind Julian, holding the dark oval pendant up to the light.
"Detective, this pendant opens the electronic vault in the lower basement," Sarah revealed to Miller.
Miller looked between the maid, the pendant, and the high-society heiress with sharp eyes.
"Is there a lower basement on the property blueprints, Mr. Sterling?" Miller asked, his interest piqued.
