Question: Why couldn't Nicholas get his briefcase open when he was at Ansen Bear Publishing? I understand that CRS is capable of doing pretty much anything to him including his house, phone,and car, but it seems like it would be quite difficult to change the lock on the briefcase that he is almost always carrying with him.
Answer: All they have to do is replace the key, haha. No need to replace a briefcase.
Chosen answer: They wouldn't have to change the lock, all they'd need to do is switch the briefcase for an identical looking one.
