A few seconds later, a male voice rang indifferently from the other side of the door. “There’s a problem with the electricity in your home. I’m here to fix it.”

The lights in the condominium immediately went out, as though working in tandem with the man’s answer.

Aery jumped in fright. “Dad, get them to come and fix this. Something’s wrong. It’s too dark!”

He did not let down his guard. “The electrical boxes are outside, right next to you. You’ll have to get a key from security downstairs. It’s locked so I can’t help you!”
