Ancient Echoes
“JIANJUN STOOD IN the night darkness outside Lionel Rempart’s Georgetown townhouse and worried that breaking into it would be a challenge. Sophisticated electronic locks and security systems came to mind. A street lamp illuminated the front of the home, casting light on the doorway.
Jianjun didn’t like the lay out, but he had no choice. He hurried to the front door. Once there, his worries vanished.
In three seconds, he picked the simple lock in the door knob with a tension wrench. The deadbolt ...would be more time-consuming, but to Jianjun’s surprise, when he turned the knob, the door opened. The deadbolt had been left off.

Something was very wrong here. He couldn’t believe Lionel would go away for months and not check and double-check his security system and locks.MoreLess
