In the cave, nobody can hear you scream. In the cave, Daddy can't hear you retch. Daddy didn't want his little girl to become Christian. He didn't want her to become a gladiator. The tunnel connects a house of ill repute with a harmless entry point. The tunnel connects a fence and a 'legitimate' merchant. > > The evidence in the secret room would hurt the reputation of > > the long-dead head of an important family.

Some think that they were in a 'package' with certain jewelry. So if a pin or ring shows up again, people will know that someone has found the 'package'.
