Larissa stopped the van outside the deli, and the two quickly found the stairs to the third floor, where the two drow brothers were living. Mira had looked up their lease details and sent over the information on their way there.
Ning stopped halfway up the stairs and grabbed Larissa, pointing to the step they had just taken.
Larissa looked down, seeing drops of dried blood. Her eyes narrowed in seriousness as she climbed faster.
There were a sparse few more drops of blood, but the rest seemed to have been cleaned in a hurry. They found the apartment and saw the outside cleaned as well.
Ning walked up to the door and tried to open it, only to find it locked from the inside.
He turned toward Larissa, questioning her on what to do. Larissa frowned and pressed her ear to the door. "I hear something," she whispered after some careful listening.
Ning thought for a moment and turned the handle. The lock came off with a clank.
