Electric fences surrounded the Albert Mansion. Two gunmen stood near the interior of the gate. Enzo Albert wasn’t going to come home tonight, but his family and employees didn’t have that information yet. Scarla, along with another assassin named Freddie, waited behind a row of snow covered bushes. Beams of moonlight reflected off of their suits of invisibility ever so slightly. Although seeing them was difficult, it wasn’t impossible. A minor glint outlined their bodies when sections of light beams didn't rotate around the curves of human shape. But Enzo’s guards wouldn’t be looking for such a thing, it wasn’t common knowledge that cloaked suits exist.

The mansion was exquisite. Two stories high, its square area covered enough land to house twenty families. Ivory colored pillars lined up the hexastyle portico. Whitened walls were constructed from brick. Tall bulletproof glass windows reached both floors. Golden chandeliers lit up the foyer area and could be viewed from the outside.

Scarla picked up a rock, hurling it to the fence. Buzzing when it struck, it alerted the two guards. Pulling their weapons from their holsters, one of the guards walked toward the sound to investigate. Switching off the gate door electricity, he stepped outside the fence. The stone that caused the distraction created a disturbed hole in the otherwise unmolested snow drift.

“Someone threw that! Roger! I’m coming back in, defensive positions! Someone is here!” The guard exclaimed, while sprinting back to his post and switching the electricity back on.

But what the two gunmen didn’t realize, was that Scarla and Freddie snuck inside the gate already. Pointing their guns in the direction of the interior, the gunmen were taken by surprise. Scarla and Freddie creeped behind them, twisting their heads, and breaking the vertebrae of their neck.

Hiding the bodies inside the guard pavilion, the assassins walked openly up an asphalt driveway without the fear of being noticed. Removing Enzo’s eye from a plastic baggie in her breast pocket, she displayed it to the security panel of the front door. The steel door unlocked.

Stepping onto the foyer stairs, they investigated most of the twenty rooms until they found Enzo’s wife sleeping. Her brunette hair swept over her face. The wife’s hands looked soft against the pillow, like expensive silk. Removing their hoods, the suits reappeared. Slumbering deeply, she slept on her side without the notion of intruders in her home.

Scarla felt her stomach ache. Regret entered her mind. She wished to be anywhere else but here. Killing soldiers or criminals could be justified to her conscience, but not this. “An innocent woman and a child, what am I thinking? This isn’t right!” Freddie stood over Enzo’s wife, he was about to plunge his knife into her skull. Whack! Scarla struck him in the back of the head with an iron rod she picked up near the crackling fireplace.

Enzo’s wife immediately woke to see Freddie drop to the floor. Screaming, she staggered to escape the bed. Scarla plunged forward. Grabbing the wife, she firmly placed her hand over mouth.
