Concealment
With urgency, Mike and Jeff hastened to retreat to their hidden spot beneath the staircase, seeking refuge from prying eyes. From the concealment of the shadows, they observed intently as a solitary individual emerged from the room and advanced towards the upper level. Their senses heightened, they remained vigilant, straining to catch any subtle movement or sound that could offer clues to the mysterious actions unfolding before them. Aware of the importance of remaining unseen, they remained quietly concealed, biding their time and planning their next move with calculated precision. The weight of anticipation hung heavy in the air as they awaited further developments.
