"Ne menjen be a vendégszobába!"
"A feleségem... nagyon beteg."
Nehéz olyan munkaadót találni, aki nem kérdez túl sokat a múltamról. Ezért hálát adok a szerencsémnek, hogy Garrickék mégis munkát adnak nekem. Takarítom a pazar penthouse-ukat, és flancos ételeket készítek a makulátlan konyhájukban. Itt dolgozom egy darabig, míg meg nem kapom, amit akarok. Szinte minden tökéletes. Azonban még mindig nem találkoztam Mrs. Garrickkel...
Biztos vagyok benne, hogy az ő sírását hallom az ajtón túlról. Látom a fehér hálóinge nyakán a vérfoltokat, mikor mosok. Aztán egy nap nem tudom megállni, és bekopogok hozzá. Lassan feltárul előttem a vendégszoba, és amit odabent látok, az örökre megváltoztat mindent.
Ekkor ígéretet teszek. Elvégre nem ez lenne az első alkalom. Meg tudom védeni Mrs. Garricket, miközben a saját titkaimat is biztonságban tartom. Douglas Garrick rosszat tett, és meg fog fizetni érte. Csak az a kérdés, hogy meddig vagyok hajlandó elmenni...
