(1) It was a beautiful summer day in Vancouver, not a cloud in the sky. Mark stood by the window watching the street outside. He felt jittery. Maybe it was the coffee but then again maybe it was just normal on a day like this. He walked over to the couch and inspected the contents of his backpack.
(2) It was amazing how much stuff he could fit in that little bag, he thought. There was a water bottle, his keys to his apartment, his phone, a hand towel, a few library books, some pens, a transit map, and something else. It was hard and cold. "What is that," he said.
(3) He pulled it out and examined it carefully. The hard and cold object turned out to be a small rectangular metal box. It resembled a cigarettes holder but something told Mark that was not the case. He wanted to open the smooth metal box but hesitant to do so. Who had access to his bag and most importantly, why?
(4) Slowly he opened the box. A small key was inside. There was a numbers on it. He look and memorized it. What kind of a key is it?
(5) It was a safety deposit box key! But to what bank and where, that is the problem that Mark has to solve. He put the key in his pocket and decided he will not let anybody know about it. Mark looked around, nobody was around. So the secret is safe.
(6) Mark could not remove the smirk from his face all day. He knew there was something special for him in the mysterious safety deposit box he just needed to find it. How would he find it? He decided to call a locksmith to ask how he could trace a key.
(7) "Hey Mark! What's up?" Mark turned around and saw Daniel walking toward him. His long hair was tied up in a ponytail. Faded T-shirt and ripped jeans camoflaged him well. Who would have thought that Daniel is the sole heir to a multimillion dollar business empire.
(8) Daniel and Mark looked similar as if they were blood brothers. Both were tall, handsome with thick dark hair and strong bone structures. Each had their share of admirers and it was no secret that the 2 men were the most eligible bachelors of the Sunny Ville County. The secretknown to only selected few was that Danielwas the biological son of the Manfords while Mark was adopted when he was 13 years old. "You look nervous to see. What was it you were holding in your hand?" Daniel asked.
(9) Nothing. It is nothing. Mark went fast to the door and leaving Daniel behind. Mark quickly drove his car to the city. He wanted to find a bank fast to ask about the key. He needed to know what is inside the bank box. He drove really fast and almost hit a person.
