[In the bottom drawer you find the hidden compartment. It's very good; if you hadn't known where to look you surely would have missed it.

And inside...a sealed envelope with no writing on it.]

[ Picking it up. ]

No writing, huh? Let's give it an open.

[ Going to open it up! Unless Sparrow has an objection. ]

Careful, don't damage the seal.

[ A nod. He will try his best...!! ]

[You're careful, but it's impossible to leave the seal intact when opening the envelope, and it breaks.

There are three things inside: One is an aged, folded notebook page with Dee's name on it. The second is a new letter, addressed to Angela.]

The third is Phil's will.]

Jackpot! We got the will!

[ Handing that over to Sparrow, since she can use it, and quickly reading the notebook page and letter, seeing what it's about. ]

[ her eyes light up and she starts scanning the will for the details - who Phil planned on leaving this estate to, the words. ]

We'll need to fix the seal somehow...

Can't we just burn the envelope and the seal? We can pretend that the will wasn't put in one.

That doesn't sound like him, and besides that, if it's not sealed, someone will suspect we tampered with it.

Then we should try to find another envelope, wax, and his seal. We can try to make a new one.

Good plan. There should be more wax and his seal somewhere on the desk.

Yeah, let's just look around and get to work.

[ Searching the other drawers! ]

[Before you can do find anything else, you hear footsteps rapidly approaching! You have one comment each to figure out what to do before they come bursting in.]

[ with the old will freshly swallowed (and leaving a weird taste in her mouth, thanks ink) and the new will placed in the envelope with the notebook and letter to Angela, the duo start out the door to go show the others their ~incredible discovery~ ooooooooo ]

Phil had good taste in charities, huh?

[ said like she didn't just swallow several pages in rapid succession ]

[ i'm going to eat the old will, stuffing it into her mouth and swallowing everything she can while arranging the new will with the letters in the envelope ]

[The will states that all of Phil's shares in his company are to be liquidated and turned over to various charities. Phil's personal accounts are to be split evenly between his children. Layne gets to keep the car and some jewelry.]

[ Looking over it. ]

Think you can forge this to put our names in it?

Edit that one? Definitely not.

[ PULLING A FAKE WILL OUT OF HER SUIT ]

But we can replace it with this one!

Even better.

Keep a part to charity, since I have to give a letter to Angela about it, but mostly to us.

Done and done.

[Angela's letter thanks her for being a confidante and requests that she do her best to explain to her father why Phil left his money to charity instead of to his business partner. Angela has the same soft heart as Phil, so she should be able to make Roger understand. And also would she please hurry up and marry Fin already? Stop lying to yourself, girl, you two are perfect together.

The notebook page is a forty year old love letter. It's sweet and sincere and you feel kind of weird and invasive reading it.]
