Present Day
I approach the decaying Sicilian mansion, a relic of forgotten grandeur. The
house shines no light at this hour, save for one window on the first floor,
seen from the front façade.
I crawl forward with one side of my body inched against the eight-foot-high
boundary walls, lost in the shadows.
A crunching sound creeps into the night. I strain my ears to hear a pitterpatter of small, soft feet. Four feet. A rabbit, probably foraging through
foliage.

I’m in the clear. I move further. As the house draws nearer, I notice the little
things. Ivy clings desperately to crumbling blue stone walls, while the
windows look like new aluminum, fresh and untainted glass.
It’s not that the professor doesn’t care for the upkeep; it’s simply that he
can’t be bothered with things that don’t concern him.
The darkness is my cloak, shielding me from unwanted eyes. Just before I
reach the house’s porch, I get down on the grass and pull out my frequency
jammer to disrupt the signals of the security cameras.
They’ll get a beautiful show of snow. I then employ infrared LED lights to
obscure my body heat from the motion sensors, effectively masking my
presence.
Crawling up to the main door, I jump to my feet, pressing myself against
the wall to reach for the door. Standing right in front of a closed door is an
unnecessary risk.
So I stretch out my arms while I pick the lock, just until I hear that soft,
satisfying click letting me know that I have the tumblers and pins just where
I need them. The alarms won’t be a problem.
Once inside the mansion, I pause to take in the scene before me. The grand
entrance hall is home to spectacular vases sitting atop a mahogany foyer
table. Ancient, precious art flanks the hallway. There’s a small, dim light on
in the corridor.
The mansion’s aging walls seem to hold their breath as I slip through the
corridors undetected.
The Handler would be proud. I’ve always been the best at avoiding
detection.
I walk up the stairs to the first floor and then take a right to find the room in
which I saw the light. I barely breathe and stay against the wall.
A failed assassination is not an option. Tonight is no exception. The Handler
handpicked me for this task. He chose me over The Snake – Matthiera.
The dim glow of what must be a desk lamp breaks the darkness as I
carefully approach the study. The door is ajar.
I lean in with my head so I can take a peek with one eye. Professor Julian
Castellano sits hunched over at his desk, completely absorbed in his work.
It’s almost a shame to disturb him – almost.
