. . .

At exactly eleven o'clock, Chey stuck her head into the hallway. Small lights attached to the walls provided dim illumination. Seeing no one, she exited her room, the fanny pack in place beneath a new coat she'd found in the closet. Designed for winter weather, the thick, heavy jacket was just what she needed for the trip. Heading downstairs, she made the main level and paused aside the banister, listening for voices or movement.

She knew there were several guards and a few other staff members on the premises. What Chey didn't know, was if there was an alarm system that might flash bright red lights and scream warnings if she tried to leave the house. Peering toward the front door did her no good. Two potted plants with broad fronds blocked part of each wall where an alarm system might be mounted.

Veering away from the foyer, she aimed for the dining room and kitchen where she thought doors to the garage might be located. The garage was on this side of the house, so it made sense access should be here, too.

She found what she was looking for in an extra room off the kitchen. One whole side was shelves, the other contained a small sink, a few cupboards and a door. Next to the door was a row of pegs from which several keys dangled. Choosing a ring with a definite logo on the chain, she exited into the cold garage and closed the door behind her.

So far, so good. No alarms went off.

Matching the logo to the vehicle, she approached with a glance at the three other cars parked on either side. All three were SUV types made for questionable weather, and none appeared to have blinking lights of alarm systems on the dash.

Using the key, she let herself inside the one she would be using. This is where the whole plan got tricky. She needed to get the garage door up and the engine started without alerting the entire house. At least until she was on the road and able to put some distance between herself and the rest.

Pressing the button on the remote hanging off the visor, she jammed the key into the ignition as the bay door rolled up. In reality, Chey knew it wasn't as loud as it seemed. Cringing at the rumble, she started the engine and began backing out immediately. Slowly, so she didn't clip the garage door on the way.

Once more, she expected sirens and flashing lights.

Nothing.

Just the growl of the engine and the garage door easing to a stop.

Chey backed all the way to the gate, using the second remote on the visor to open it. Whipping onto the street, relieved to see it plowed of snow, she threw the SUV into gear and glanced at the house.

A light inside the foyer snapped on, visible through the front windows of the manor.

“Crap.” She picked up speed, turning on the headlights, determined to get lost before they could find her.
