It was a Tuesday evening, and Zane was ready to clock out. Today had been a busy day, but also a monotonous one. Zane had been a junior accountant at his firm for almost a year, and it had already been taking a toll on his motivation. As he was filling in the last cells of the spreadsheet, his supervisor peeked into his cubicle.
"Hey Zane, can you do me a quick favor?"
Zane became wide-eyed. "Uhh, sure. What's up?"
Zane's supervisor smiled. "Boss wants you to do the books for a new place downtown, and he needs it done tomorrow."
Zane raised his eyebrow. "Do you mean he asked you to do it and you just put it off?"
His supervisor gritted his teeth. "Pleeeeeze!? I'll tell payroll to give you a huge bonus if you do!"
Zane rolled his eyes. "Fine!"
It was already late, around 9:00pm when Zane made it to the store. The building itself was unremarkable. There was no marking and no signs to indicate its presence. Zane looked inside the store. The lights were off except for one center fluorescent light in the center of the store, rapidly flickering. Zane pushed the door in and it swung open to his surprise. It was too dark, so Zane took out a flashlight. The store was clearly divided into 2 sections. Zane decided to investigate first. . .
