Coffee? Now?

Before Devin can enter fully, Mike calls out to her, "Devin? I need some coffee. Can you make a fresh pot?"

"Yes, sir!" she quickly re-locks the door and quietly pulls it closed. Another time.

Mentally noting where she will be after she attends the other rooms of the house, Devin heads to the kitchen to make Mike his coffee. The kitchen is like any other kitchen, gray granite counter tops, light mahogany cabinets, plenty of counter space. It has all of the things expected for a family like this.

Devin sees that they have one of those pod cup and pot coffee makers, and proceeds to make a full pot. Walking the coffee to Mike, she asks him as she enters, "I was getting ready to start cleaning the rooms, and noticed the room across the hall from me was locked. I thought I only couldn't enter the back area?

"Mike looks up from his laptop, "Oh yeah, that is my wife's study. She keeps it locked during the day. Even I don't have a key. She will be happy to let you in if you ask her. She just doesn't allow anyone in without her present."

He takes his cup of coffee Devin poured while he was telling you this," Oh, I am so sorry. Please bring me some creamer from the fridge. I prefer the vanilla one."

She smiles, "Of course." Heading back to the kitchen, Devin makes a note to ask Melanie if she can clean her "study".

Opening the fridge, Devin finds the vanilla creamer without issue. She also sees a couple of empty bottles labeled "Sarah's milk. Do not drink."

Remembering Melanie saying she was out, Devin wonders why the empty containers are still in the fridge instead of being washed. Are they not supposed to be touched by the rest of the family either?

Handing the creamer to Mike, one more thought needs to be answered for the moment, "Are there any other locked rooms?" He sips his coffee.

Satisfied, he shakes his head, "No, just the study and the back area. You should have easy access to the other rooms."

Devin smiles, "Thanks, I think I will start then in the room beside mine."

Devin walks back down the hall, picking up her caddy that she didn't realize she had left by that "study" door, and moves down to the room beside hers. Like he said it would be, the door is open.

Devin enters into what can only be Cameron's bedroom. This is a girl's dream room. The walls are striped in pale purple and pink, Cameron's white daybed beautifully decorated with all kinds of funky girly pillows and fluffy, lacy white comforter, and her desk to the right of the room is immaculate.

Devin understands that she won't have much cleaning to do in here, so she simply wipes down the dresser and desk, and vacuums the plush pink carpet.

As she is getting ready to leave, Devin notices the only out of place thing in the room, a bronzed amulet hanging on the back of Cameron's door, that she would not have noticed until leaving regardless. Devin takes the amulet in her hand, and turning it over, finds an inscription on the greenish back, "Protect the daughter, she is the key."

She quickly takes out her phone and snaps pictures of the amulet, front and back. She notices a clasp on the side, but it has a keyhole to open it. Devin tries to pick the tiny keyhole, but it is useless. It is really tiny, and only a tiny key will open it, which she is now determined to find.

Devin hangs the amulet back on Cameron's door the way she found it, and exits her room, pulling the door closed behind her.

She thinks to herself, 'If Cameron doesn't know what is going on, then why does she have such a mysterious amulet, and what does she think it is for?'

Devin moves on to the next room. Directly across the hall from Cameron's room is Mike and Melanie's room. She enters without mishap of course, and finds the most drab and common room ever. A tan floor, antique white walls, and basic queen-sized bed adorn the room. The only thing that makes the room feel remotely special is the bedding.

The bed is made with burgundy and black satin sheets, with a similar scroll work to the walls of Melanie's study. Taken aback, she looks around at this room. The curtains are open in all their brown glory. The room being lit by sunlight feels like her mom's room, but with funky bedding.

Devin vacuums the room, wipes down the dresser, and tidies up the bedside table on Melanie's side. She had a couple of -eww!- used tissues on her dresser and an empty glass, stained red from whatever she had drank the night before, drying in it. Devin sniffs it out of curiosity, but she can't place the pungent smell. It sticks in her throat a bit, and she has to clear it to get rid of the smell.

'Definitely not wine,' she thinks to herself.

The table has a drawer that she opens and finds a bible within, along with pen and a notepad. Scribbled on the notepad Devin sees these words: Stronger vampire vomit!

'What the hell is vampire vomit!' Devin exclaims in her mind. She takes a picture with her cell phone of the note, and looks for other information. Nothing else written anywhere can be found.

Leaving the items how she found them, Devin moves on to Mike's bedside table. His is the same, but without the tissues or drink. He has a half-eaten granola bar that Devin throws into her waste bin on her caddy. Devin opens Mike's drawer to find the box that the tissues on Melanie's side came from, as well as a book called Support Yourself, Family First.

Curious, Devin flips through the book. A tiny scrap of paper falls out onto the floor. She picks it up, and it says one thing: Milk is fake. She poisons.

This is in a handwriting Devin has not seen before, and there is a bloody fingerprint on the paper. She takes a quick picture, and puts the paper back where she thinks it fell out.

As she places the book back and closes the drawer, her heart is pounding. This is not like the others, she is starting to realize.

"She poisons?" Devin whispers to herself. Could Melanie be poisoning Sarah? Why? She decides to go through Melanie's things further and take a stealthy visit back to that 'study' of hers, but first, she need to finish her 'cleaning' of the house.
