Approach the front gate

Valerie entertained the other possibilities, but they were too risky. She had an alias, a cover and a reason to be in the estate - this was her best chance of success.

She stopped her car in front of the gate, lowering her window as a guard approached her. "Ma'am?", he simply asked. Valerie smiled, fishing in her purse for her ID. She bent forward a little, giving the guard a little glimpse of her cleavage as she replied "Hi, I'm Valerie. I have an appointment with Mr. Lang."

The guard saw her ID, and waved to his colleagues. The large gate swung open, and Valerie drove through it. She soon arrived at the mansion. There were a few sports cars, a motorbike and even a helicopter in the large clearing in front of the main door. She parked her car and disembarked, taking a deep breath. While her training made sure she didn't show it, she felt nerves. This was it.

The sun set in the distance as she walked up a small flight of stairs. Valerie shivered - this was it. With a deep breath, she opened the door and entered the mansion.
