Assembly Takes a Strange Turn

Back at his apartment, Jake and his roommate started assembling the bed. But something wasn’t quite right. One of the legs seemed heavier than it should be. They opened a panel meant for storage — and that’s when things got weird. Inside, hidden deep in the frame, was a small, sealed envelope. It wasn’t labeled, but it looked important. Curiosity took over, and they carefully peeled it open. What they found inside sent chills down their spines.

A Hidden Envelope of Cash

Inside the envelope was a thick stack of cash. Not just a few bills — thousands of dollars, neatly banded. Jake stared in disbelief. Who would hide this kind of money in a bed? At first, they thought it had to be a mistake. Maybe it was part of a forgotten emergency fund. Or worse — maybe it was linked to something illegal. Suddenly, the secondhand bed turned into a full-blown mystery that demanded answers.
