Chapter 28: Miss Lullaby 3:28 P.M. I had plenty of time after my afternoon fling to accomplish a few things in my day before having a late dinner with Matthew. Ted Burk, my editor at the Independent, wanted a dozen or more pics on his desk of the Mellnor Reece Mansion, which sat on the corner of Rush and Needle streets in downtown Vanmer. Beth Harriday was doing an upcoming story on the building since it was turning one-hundred-and-fifty years old. Burk wanted photographs of the Victorian mansion’s hidden stairwells, underground rooms, and secret doors. The article would come out at Halloween, which would depict how eerie the mansion was, and possibly haunted.
