He knew he saw a similar key somewhere, but it was difficult to figure out where in particular it would be. Furthermore, he located a hammer which he used in break out the padlock. Furthermore, he opened the box and viewed its content briefly before taking them out one at a time. The first thing that Joe saw in the box were images of naked, scary women. The scars on their skins revealed that they were beaten. While their post

The night sky was pitch black. Thick clouds hung low, concealing the moon and casting the grand Joy estate in a blanket of darkness. A fierce wind howled through the trees, their branches thrashing wildly as if they sensed something monumental was about to unfold.

Mr. Joe, who is the Happy Hill owner, was already waiting at the bar outside. He took a basket of keys and distributed them to Louis and the others. Each one received a keychain with a picture of them. When Kyle went to pick up his keys, he suddenly saw two pink keys there, so he couldn't help but curl his lips and say: "Hey Mr. Joe!
