Crimson Falls (The Depravity Chronicles)
“They had found the staircase hidden behind a tall, thin hutch in the rear of the kitchen. Lionel and Ralph were with him, both of them attempting to unlock the deadbolts preventing their entry. Geraldine and Aaron stood at the top of the stairs to make sure no one surprised them from behind.

“Hey, at least I work for the right team now,” Ralph retorted. Tim both liked and respected Ralph. He had been a hoodlum when they were kids,... breaking into stores overnight and vandalizing every inch of white walls he could find. He could crack just about any alarm code and pick any lock.
