Lying to her father
Abby’s father had a very pale complexion. “I thought I put everything away!” You have my deepest condolences, Abbs. But tell me, exactly what were you doing inside of that room? “Did you see or, uh, hit anything?” “Did you hit anything?”Something was spoken by my father. Abby gave a slight nod in response. “I was just playing,” she insisted repeatedly. “I promise.” She didn’t want her father to start getting suspicious about anything.

Keeping the key close
After that evening, her father never left the house without the key to the shed in his pocket. As a distraction for her mother, her father had hung another key on the same keychain in its place, so she hadn’t realized that the original key was missing. However, Abby was paying close attention to everything that her father did. Because he was behaving in an odd manner in relation to the shed, it was clear that there must be a purpose.
