Their next step was to uncover the mechanism for basement access.
Hector quickly devised a strategy to revisit Daveys manor.
However, on the operation day, Hectors entry was thwarted when he discovered that Davey had brought in expert royal tomb craftsmen from Aurora to install a dangerous quicksand fire system throughout the premises.
This system could engulf the entire villa in flammable quicksand at the touch of a button.

Davey had effectively transformed his manor into a mausoleum. His actions were beyond comprehension.
Hector hesitated, recognizing the grave risks to anyone attempting entry and Casey, who Davey had stashed in the basement.
Daveys extreme measures shocked everyone. Who would rig their home with such lethal traps? What could drive someone to these drastic measures?
Consequently, their plan to rescue Casey had to be delayed.
Hector sought advice from many seasoned craftsmen to decode the quicksand fire system, hoping to identify a flaw.
After days of investigation, they concluded there were no weaknesses.
The only option was to draw Davey out and search his house during his absence.
But Davey had rejected all reasons to leave his home in recent days.
This left everyone feeling anxious and uncertain about the next steps.
Raegan had been on edge for several days due to the situation.
Noticing her distress, Stefan suggested they go out for dinner at a restaurant, considering Erick needed some rest as well.

Although not particularly excited, Raegan felt compelled to accept, acknowledging Stefans continuous support, especially with the challenges involving her mother.
Today coincided with the Shaman Festival in Aurora, a celebration of a shaman woman and a commoner man who overcame obstacles to fall in love and bless their community.
The festival had turned into a local version of Valentines Day, attracting both single and married individuals out for romantic evenings.
Stefan had chosen this day for their outing, hoping the unique festival activities would cheer Raegan up.
The festive decorations along the streets briefly distracted Raegan from her concerns.
As they navigated the bustling crowds, Stefan was vigilant. He held Raegans hand tightly and used his other hand to shield her from bumping into people.
At one moment, Raegan thought she spotted a familiar figure on a shops staircase. Upon a closer inspection, though, the man shared only a resemblance in height with Mitchel.
Raegan dismissed it as a mistake. Mitchel was still in rehabilitation, far from able to come here. Logically, he still needed a month more of recovery, and would need to avoid strenuous activities for several more months.
What were you looking at? Stefan inquired, noticing her fixed gaze.
