Angus's heart throbbed heftily, as he moved catlike through the dimly lit room.
His head-mounted light pried shreds of scenery from the half-nothingness.

Another look at the map...

There! The safe would be behind the oddly flower shaped picture.
He held his breath, as he tried to force the frame open.
Not a chance.
There had to be some hidden lock.

Could it be ...?
He grasped the middlemost petal, grinning confidently.
The frame swung open, revealing to him

muzzle flash.

Blast shrieked inside his ears, throwing him down.

"GAME OVER!"

He rose and switched off the XBox.
