15 Breathe bit**

God damn it! My thoughts were all over the place as I ran around the residence like a dumbass.

Stop! I stopped running as I struggled to breathe. I need to calm down and think. I've always been good under pressure due to my ability to calm down and asses the situation properly. The old geezer mentioned clues which he had hidden inside of the residence. Looking in his room is too obvious. Insure that Macy's uncles and aunts have already checked that place. If these are clues to the location of his safe I could easily say that the clues are hidden in the least expected of places. I turned. I was in the garden.

Despite being a perfect place to check I wasn't sure where to start. There are too many nooks and crannies to look through. I started to walk aimlessly through the garden. Huge was an understatement to the size. The garden had a fountain in the middle. And was divided into plots of different flowers. Roses, tulips, sunflowers, etc.

Another thing that bothered about the location of the safe was if we would be provided with the code of the safe as well. The location is already so vague. The winner of this challenge would still have to look for the safe in the location. This was the first time that I have ever felt flustered or confused in my whole entire two lives.

"Fuck!"

I cursed as I sat on the fountain. I looked at the water. There were several pennies on the bottom. Wait a second is there a clue in the fountain? It is a place that grants wishes after all and is a place where people throw their money. Doesn't that make it kind of like a safe in a metaphorical sense?

I folded up the cuffs of my sweatpants and walked in the fountain. I then bent down and started to look for a clue of some sort. Was it on the back of one of these pennies? Was it a paper on the fountain statue? Where was the clue? I might just be in the wrong place after all.

Ugh. So fucking frustrating! Suddenly I saw something shimmer in the water. I stood back and inhaled sharply. Carved on the bottom of the fountain were the words,

"Take 10 steps to the east and look in the direction where the sun sets. You will find the next clue."

What did this old geezer spend his last days doing? Writing stupid shit like this? Well no matter I have to protect my right as "heir" after all. I waded through the water and dried my bare feet on the grass. Despite saying that I have to take 10 steps to the east he didn't specify what a "step" was. Based on my phone's compass 10 footsteps to the east lead me right back to the fountain. There has to be something that I'm missing.

Think Mai! Think!

Ah. That's what it is. I chuckled. What a smart fucking old geezer.
