A Subtle Movement

The old man had been holding the particular object that the couple considered as a relic. They were still not sure as to what exactly this object was. Could it be a precious object from the past? It was hard to judge by the looks. While the speculations were still on, the dark brown lump made a movement that shocked the old couple. It took them a minute to gain their composure but now they had it figured out as to what this object was and they could tell it needed their help.
