The mansion was made of dull grey bricks with ivy climbing and clinging to the walls. The large garden was full shrubbery, water features and statues. The face of the mansion was lit up by the lights shining up on it giving it a gold glow. A high hedge surrounded the mansion and the garden. The mansion loomed over a dark gloomy wood and at night it looked very spooky. Along side the mansion were five garages. A long dusty road came up from the main road which led up to the gates of the mansion.
From where the killer sat he could see the high metal gate he had climbed over to get in and also the wooden entrance of the mansion.
Suddenly two balls of light appeared on the long dusty road getting closer towards the gates. Gradually the mysterious orbs grew brighter and clearer. The killer moved immediately into position with his gun held poised. The rumble of the car engine could be heard which got louder. He stubbed his cigarette under his foot and put the remains in his bag, trying to keep the signs of his presence to a minimum. Screeches of passing cars braking on the surface of the tarmac road could be heard in the background.
Automatically the large gates opened and a black car appeared. The gates closed slowly behind the vehicle as it passed through. It came to a sudden stop in front of the fourth garage, the door gradually opened and the car moved into the garage slowly. A figure got out of the vehicle, shutting the doors. The figure was dressed in a smart black suit and tie.
Stealthily the armed man moved to another position to get a better view. Sighting the gun, he followed the figures every movement. Turning around the figure went to the back of the vehicle and took out his briefcase. The figure slammed the boot and walked towards the mansion. Automatically the garage door closed behind him.
Suddenly the figure turned three hundred and sixty degrees and peered in the direction of the garden. The figure was alerted by the shuffling of the brown crispy leaves. Nothing in sight, the figure thought it must be and animal. Walking towards the main entrance the figure took out his keys out of his left hand side pocket. The figure climbed up the few steps leading to his doorstep fiddling with the bunch of keys trying to find the right one.
The armed man still following his movements was getting a bit nervous. His hands began to shake like jelly making it hard to aim. The figure lifted the right key into the direction of the keyhole pausing. The armed man pulled the trigger.
