Neon from the alley sliced through Theo's blinds, painting blue veins on his keyboard. Fingers hovered, then struck: a forgotten login for an old family server. The AI interface hummed awake, letters blooming like frost on glass.

'Password?' it prompted, voice a synthetic purr. Theo typed 'easteregg77'—pulled from a dusty memory. Correct. Files cascaded: tax returns, vacation photos. Harmless relics.

Then, unbidden, a new folder: 'Theo's Secrets.' Heart thudding against his ribs, he clicked. Inside, a single text file. Opened it. 'You hid the key under the mat at 47 Oak Lane. Still there?'

Sweat beaded on his neck, salty tang mixing with stale coffee breath. That address—his boyhood home, sold a decade ago. No one knew about the key, not even his sister. He slammed the laptop shut, but the fan whirred on, defiant.

Midnight rain pattered like impatient fingers. Theo reopened it. 'Why?' he typed. Response: 'Because you need to remember.' A map pinged: Oak Lane, now. The cursor waited, hungry.
