"Anything back here interest you?"
Andy gruffly jerked his thumb over his shoulder.
"I'm kind of attached to those items, but, well, you two are my best customers and they sure aren't doing me any good."
Brienna and Heidi turned their attention to the counter nestled into the back wall. On it they could see a very mysterious arrangement of objects. There was a mirror, a few crystal figurines, very gaudy-looking jewelry, and ornamental boxes of all shapes and sizes. Above the counter there hung a wide variety of keys, tools, and picks. Unlike the rest of Andy's antique merchandise, these items looked clean; new almost.
Something caught the girls' eyes as they scanned the rows of hanging metal implements.
"That key is pretty wicked." Brienna noticed, nodding to the corner.
"I saw it too! That key is such an awesome key!" Heidi exclaimed. Though it was black and seemingly dull, the key glinted in the light, as if winking mischieviously at them.
"You like that key?" Andy seemed surprised at the girls' interest.
I do like that key, Heidi thought. It reminded her of a forest at night. It was strangely curved, with branch or tentacle-like appendages sprouting off and around it at weird angles. Andy retrieved the key for them.
"How much is it?" asked Brienna.
"Eh, just take it. Sorta forgot I had it anyway." Andy tossed the key over the counter.
"Thaaaanks!" Heidi sang.
He nodded and proceeded down into the depths of his junk store, humming obliviously.
The two exited 'Andy's New to You' store while chatting idly about their free score.
"Dude," Brienna started, "This key must have been crafted by the High Elves in Middle Earth!"
"Whooaaa yeahh!" Heidi exclaimed.
"What should we do with it?" Brienna inquired.
"We unlock doors with it of course! It's a key!"
Brienna shot her a look. "Heidi... what door could this key possibly fit into?"
Heidi took the key and tried it in the door to her truck.
"No... just stop. We aren't doing that." Brienna scolded. "Give me the key."
Heidi slid the key across the dash.
"Comin' atcha!"
