Madam Lin and Amon came to an unremarkable small house that was situated in a large empty plot of land. But Amon knew it was just made to look like that. He spotted several places that hid onlookers as he passed by. This place was carefully watched. The empty plot will let any escapees be easily spotted.
Madam Lin opened the door to the unremarkable house. Inside was just an empty room except for one desk, one chair, and a large trapdoor with a large lock in the middle of the floor. A rough-looking man was behind the desk. He immediately rose from his chair after seeing it was Madam Lin who entered. He gave a salute.
"Open the door. We are going to enter," Madam Lin commanded.
The man's eyes darted to Amon for a bit with a questioning glance. When he saw Madam Lin's frown, he threw away the query in his mind and quickly took out the key to unlock the trapdoor. There was a long stairway that descended into darkness.
