A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1072

John took a deep breath, allowing himself to react before taking out a bottle and sprayed the contents over the number pad of the safe.

The bottle contained a special spray—Sean had prepared it for him, and it would reveal the fingerprints on the number pad within seconds, identifying the numbers which the passcode consisted of.

Coming up with the actual combination, however, depended entirely on luck.

John noted down the numbers and started to deduce the passcode.

Most people would have a set pattern when they decide on their passcode, like a birthday or numbers that meant something.

He took a deep breath and tried to arrange the numbers according to the birthdates of most of the Lynds.

Still his first attempt was wrong.

He calmed down and keyed in another combination.

It did not work either.

John's sweat was raining down at that point—he really did not have much time, just as the Lynds could well show up at the very next second.

He closed his eyes, running the numbers to find anything possibly corresponding to everyone's mobile number to their ID number through and through.

He suddenly owned his eyes and quickly tapped a combination, and the safe opened with a click.

It was the ID of Jean's departed husband—but reversed.

John did not have time to breathe, and he quickly rummaged through the documents inside.

But the moment he reached in, a siren suddenly started blaring in the study.

It was only then that John realized he was too excited to notice the motion sensor in the safe and tripped it in turn.

He gritted his teeth, but he stayed in the study and kept searching for what he wanted.
