Simon stood in the backyard of the mansion, his eyes scanning the water tank.
It was covered and relatively clean, a stark contrast to the dust-covered exterior of the house.
He had hoped for something more promising, but now, staring into the tank, he couldn't find anything obviously wrong.
The water inside looked pristine. This was the lifeline for the mansion; water flowed from here through the pipes to the rest of the house, providing the necessities.
"There seems to be nothing wrong," he muttered under his breath, frustration edging his voice.
But Simon wasn't convinced. The water should be flowing through the pipes into the house without issue.
He had tried the showers when he first arrived, and they hadn't worked. That alone was enough to suggest a problem with the plumbing.
The kitchen was the most obvious culprit, and the thought of dirty dishes piling up, combined with his hunger, irritated him even more.
