Daniel inspected the wall carefully.
The house had been renovated years earlier, and several old service spaces had been sealed.
He found a hollow section near the vent.
Rachel called emergency services while Daniel carefully opened part of the damaged wall.
Behind it was darkness.
Then they saw something.
Snack wrappers.
A teddy bear.
A blanket.
Daniel stared in disbelief.
Someone had been living there.
Rachel covered her mouth.
Lily pointed into the darkness.
That is where she sleeps.
Daniel looked at his daughter.
How long have you been bringing her food?
Lily shrugged.
A lot of nights.
Then a small hand appeared through the opening.
Daniel immediately stepped back.
You are safe.
We are going to get you out.
The hand disappeared.
Then the child whispered.
Please hurry.
