A Secluded Mansion

In the distance, a large estate loomed over the hill. Behind it, the beginnings of a long green plane could be made out even from the steep approach, but it too far away to see any level of detail. Imposing, with it's Gothic architecture, it almost looked more like a prison then a house. What kind of fucking house has gargoyles? Still, if this was where her client lived, it was where she would go. If she was trying to sign a deal with Ghenghis Khan, she'd go to the steppes of Asia.

She drove up to the ornate gate of the mansion. It was tall an had a grape leaf design etched in. There was also a series of spikes lining the top. Sarah wasn't unnerved by this, as it was no doubt to deter robbers.

"Are you expected?" Asked a female voice over the intercom.

"Yes. I'm Sarah Leherman." She said into the intercom. "Here to see, Mr Arzinni. He should have included me in the schedule for today."

Silence was the only answer. Sarah tried not to let herself be unnerved by it. Extending the wait times was a power play in negotiations. He was probably just trying to impress her. It wouldn't work.

"The gate is open." She heard. It swung open, allowing her to drive up to the large stone door in the front of the mansion. Here too she buzzed the intercom, but she wasn't greeted by a voice on the other end. Sarah was **** to wait once more. Arzinni really liked his power plays...
