A little bonus and a plan

Leaving the gymnastics room to the girls your retrace your steps through the pool. The bottles of wine are still at poolside, and you see the girls clothes thrown in a pile. Never one to miss an opportunity, you search through their clothes and find their wallets, photographing their credit cards and ID for potential profit. You also find a vial of brightly coloured pills stamped with a winking face. You put that beside the three girls' drivers licenses and take a few more pictures before replacing everything and leaving the building.

As head towards your cottage you brood over the day's events and one conclusion is inescapable. You need to know more about the school, it's teachers and it's students if you are to make a profit here, stay safe, and keep Tony Dogs off your back. That will take time, but you should let no opportunity go to waste.

You decide that the time to start would be tonight. You have little doubt that some of these highly strung young women might take advantage of the last weekend before classes begin to get into some mischief, and if you're lucky you'll catch someone in a compromising position that could net you some rewards.

With that happy thought you go upstairs to change, dressing in black pants and turtleneck. You pull a black balaclava over your head, then roll it up so it looks like a watch cap. In shadow or darkness you'll be all but invisible, and if you pull the balaclava down, unrecognisable as well. You put your phone in one pocket, and after a moment's consideration a short bladed folding knife in another.

Confident and ready, you turn out the lights in your cottage and step out into the darkness.
