It was 6:30 in the morning, and Shane Sanders was fast asleep. He was usually a light sleeper in unfamiliar beds, but last night he'd slept surprisingly well. His body ached a little, but his mood was excellent... Just as he was deep in slumber, he suddenly heard a scream from outside the door, "A mouse! A mouse..."
He recognized it clearly. It was Serena Lockwood's voice. He woke with a start and jumped out of bed, completely forgetting about his sprained ankle. The moment his foot hit the floor, a sharp pain reminded him of his injury. Still, he hopped on his good foot, desperately making his way out of the room.
The sound came from the room across the hall.
The door was ajar.
He pushed the door open and went in.
