height of the manor and was designed and constructed before the Captain saw
the plans if he ever bothered to look at them. The second architect probably
tried to hide it hoping that the Captain wouldn't find it until after he had
been paid."
"He didn't look at the plans," Shawn explained. "He commissioned the
construction before he married. Upon learning that the Captain was opposed to
servants roaming freely in his home he hid the stairwell as best he could. The
original builder had done such a good job creating the hidden doorways it was
easy. Imagine being alone night after night your husband away at sea, Anna
explored her home and found this quite by accident."
"Fine so the second builder bricked up the wall." Jimmy grumbled. "And this
means what?"
"This wall wasn't constructed by a craftsman," Delia snapped. "The work is
sloppy. The person who slapped this together had no skills what so ever. They
probably never built anything before this."
"Built by a madman late at night in an effort to hide his sins," Shawn brushed
back the tears. "What trickery is this? That is what he said when he was
spying on his sister that night. The room was empty, he stepped out the door
to her room when he saw her slipping into her room from the hidden doorway.
That is why he was spying on them in the kitchen the following morning. He saw
the caresses and he knew. With complete calm he ducked out to the woodshed got
the axe and murdered the both of them. You need to call the police. Tell them
to ignore the doors in Catherine's room and the one in the corridor just
outside of this room."
"Oh my God," Delia gasped. "There is one in the kitchen?"
"Behind the pantry," Shawn whispered pained voices begging for her help.
"Don't bother with your cell phone," she instructed Carey. "Won't work try
calling from the van."
"In the meantime," Faith hissed. "Until the cops arrive anyone got a sledge
hammer?"
"What do you have in mind?" Althea questioned.

"Are you sure about this?" Althea sputtered half an hour later. "The police
are on their way."
"Let them start with the kitchen," Faith growled holding the large
sledgehammer Andrew St. James had handed her. Delia called her brother to
bring tools while Carey called the local authorities. Althea quickly went
about setting up cameras in both rooms. "That is where I'd start if I wasn't
such a chicken shit about that room."
"Not to mention it is a crime scene," Carey grunted. "Wait for them."
"They have waited long enough," Faith argued feeling a sense of urgency. "This

is the only room where he can't stop us."
"Rishi and I will be downstairs with the troopers," Carey agreed. "See you on
the other side."
She paused when the entire house seemed to shudder. "I hope," Carey added
under her breath.
"Me too," Faith concurred. "Ready?" She directed towards the St. James
siblings each holding a large sledgehammer.
"All my life," Andrew asserted. "Let's do it."
"Shawn?" Faith questioned her lover who was looking on from the fireplace.
"You're safe," Shawn reassured her. "I don't know what will happen when you
break through, but for now Anna and Catherine are right here watching. They
want you do this."
"Tell them it is my pleasure," Faith beamed as Delia delivered the first blow
forcing the wall to start crumbling.
"Yeah, crappy workmanship," she beamed as the three of them began tearing into
the wall.
***
Shawn held her breath watching the wall crumbling. Anna and Catherine lingered
in the corner silently urging the trio on. From below she could hear the
sounds of the police hammering away. She spied another figure lurking outside
of the room a dark angry force hissing as the wall fell. She rubbed the
bracelet on her wrist as the cool silver warmed. "That's it," Delia announced
the trio brushing dust and debris from their bodies while Jasper filmed the
scene.
"Unbelievable," Jimmy whispered. "How did you know?"
"They told me," Shawn flatly responded stepping closer grabbing a flashlight.
"Who wants to go first?" Andrew squeaked out his face turning ashen as he
glanced into the dark void.
"As eager as I am to find the truth," Delia slowly began. "I'm not thrilled
with stepping in there."
"I'll go," Faith volunteered.
"I'm right beside you," Shawn added.
They stepped into the darkness an icy wind assaulting them as they fumbled
inside the long forgotten stairwell. "Up is Catherine's room," Shawn explained
as she tried to adjust her senses to the dim lighting. "That way is the
corridor and down is," her voice trailed off. Her stomach became queasy images
of blood dripping from the kitchen walls bombarded her. "God I can smell their
blood," she choked out her body relaxing slightly from the feel of Faith's
hand resting against the small of her back.
"You don't," Faith tenderly began.
"Yes I do," she blew out her voice quivering as she pushed forward. "From the
