"Judy, do you see anything?"

"There's a padlock locking a panel."

Neither have any clue how long its been, but they are already feeling the pressure. A padlock without a combination? Nick scurries through his coffin and he too finds a panel with no means of opening it outside of the keypad lock to the side of the coffin. His night vision comes into play as he notices four numbers carved into the wooden cover atop of him.

He put the numbers down on the keypad, and got an error noise, "Okay. I found some numbers here. Try 4-7-1-3," he gets no response, "Judy, did you hear me."

"Yea, I'm having trouble seeing is all." She's a rabbit. Her vision in the dark isn't as good as his, but its the only thing they have going for them, "I think I... Yea I got it."

"What's inside?"

"A phone. Give me a second it needs to turn on."

The seconds pass and Nick says, "Well?"

"Its on, but there's no service. I'm looking."

"Check the messages"

Judy browses through the phone and finds the messages listed. There is only one message and its from Rodham, "There's a message here from Rodham. It says nothing."

Nick keeps his cool. They have no idea how long its been, but they're stumped. He knows not what to do and the thought of their failure being attached with death doesn't help the thinking process either. Yet when things seem grim someone somehow finds a way. Judy says, "Rodham. Try to spell out his name in the keypad."

Its something to cling on to. Nick takes her suggestion wondering how many more hoops they have to jump before they are free. Even then there is the very possibility that this is just a cruel joke and there is no escape. He spells out Rodham in numbers on the keypad, 7-6-3-4-2-6, but all he got were the error beeps, "Nothing. It did nothing."

"Its okay Nick. Let me see what else I can find." Judy can tell Nick is losing out on hope. She can't blame him. These are dire straits. Still though, they at least have something to go for. They weren't just thrown into a ditch they were given a challenge. No point in giving up, and the worse thing to do right now is to lose hope. That's when she notices the time. Its been 16:37 for more than a minute by now. Time may feel like a crawl in the casket, but that doesn't mean time doesn't stop moving. It keeps ticking away with or without them breathing, "Try 16-37."

A second later a noise of exhilaration is heard, "I got keys for the cuffs."

Judy also notices a panel open, "Nick I think I can see you."

"Yea I can see you too." A window was carved where the two coffins meet, and now they each have a view of each other.

The cuffs make a sweet noise of release, and Nick looks over and sees the open panel. He can make out Judy's figure clearly, "Here. Set yourself free." He hands her the keys, and notices there is a keychain attached to them, "The keychain. There's something there."

Judy releases the cuffs hold on her wrist and takes a glance, "I can't see that well in the dark. Here you try.

Nick takes a glance and see's the letter M on the keychain, "Its just the letter M. That's it."

Judy browses through the phone for something else. She tries all the apps until finally she gets a password prompt. She slides her finger on the screen to correspond with the letter M, and she gets access to the app. A panel opens on top of Nick's coffin dropping a tablet onto him. He opens it and slides his fingers to create the letter M, and the tablet opens to a game.

"Nick what is it?"

"Its a game."

"Let me see."

"The tablet is too big for it to fit through the panel."

"You'll figure it out. I know you will."

Nick reads the instructions, and it makes no sense to him. He tries his best to make sense of the puzzle that was being asked, but he simply cannot make heads or tails of it. His mind quickly flashes to the possibility that it wasn't suppose to make sense, that this is the part where you fall into a false sense of hope right before the air cuts off. He feels like a cornered rat, playing right into Rodham's scheme, tapping away at the tablet thinking there is a solution to an impossible riddle. If you believe the instruction its a simple request, find the mammal Rodham. Sure enough there are a lot of animals on display, and everytime he taps on the screen it sends him back to the beginning.

"Maybe he isn't there," exlaims Judy in an attempt to contribute, "Maybe there is something hidden you're not pressing."

"I'm trying. I'm sorry Judy. I'm trying."

He's not lying either. Nick is overcharging his brain trying to find a way around this one, but the creeping thought of failure is starting to get a hold of him.

And then the air shuts off.

"Nick. Please. I know you got this," a gasping Judy proclaims.

Nick holds on himself, but eventually he can't concentrate anymore. He too curls up gasping for air. He gathers his strength to look ahead at Judy. He can see her with his night eyes, but he knows she can't see him. Still, at least this is the last thing he'll see. Judy.

"Judy, I... I love you." When he utters that he can tell its too late. She's out of breath. He'll go to his grave knowing he was never able to tell Judy what he wanted tell her ever since she came back to him to apologize all those months ago.

Nick slumps to the ground, gasping for the last bits of air. A glance at the idle tablet reveals the puzzle has been solved. You had to press nothing to win. Rodham wasn't there because he doesn't exist. Not to Nick and Judy at least. He's an enigma, and you merely had to acknowledge that you'll never know who he truly is to solve the riddle. A button appears on the screen. One tap is all it would take to open the coffin, but Nick is too weak. He can't do it. He closes his eyes cold and everything grows faint. "Its over. I failed her." Is the last thing he can think of.

Right before everything goes silent, Nick could swear he heard a loud thump hit his coffin...
