The kid was still asleep. As soon as the garage door shut, I
moved the old cupboard to one side and opened the door hidden
behind it. The boy mumbled something as I picked him up but
didn’t wake. I grunted under the weight and carried him down some
steps, then down some more to the right. The converted rooms
underneath the house were perfect for my needs. The insulation
and ventilation had taken quite a bit of work and I had to keep a
dehumidifier going almost continuously, but I was satisfied.
