Find a hallway to bypass the guards and spot Anthony
From Create Your Own Story
You leave the ballroom and back into the entrance hall. You have no idea where in the house to go, so you pick one of the doors in the hall. Lucky you, it leads to a hallway. On the left side of the hallway are windows overlooking the front yard. You must be near the front of the house. The hallway splits off and you go down the direction leading towards the back of the house.
You peer around the corner and see Anthony rushing down the hallway from the lounge down a flight of stairs to the right. Guards are following him. Two go through the door leading to the porch where you killed Vladimir. The other one continues down the hallway towards you. You duck back into the hallway looking for somewhere to hide. You spot a door, but before you reach it, the guard tackles you and restrains you on the ground.
“What are you doing here?” he screams at you. You are too terrified to say a word. You desperately try to think of a plan to get out of this situation, but you mind is too full of terror to think straight about anything.
As they cuff you and drag you to a closet somewhere in the mansion, questions rush through your head. Why did I take up this job? Wouldn’t a desk job be good enough for me? I made enough money in my first mission; why couldn’t I quit after that?
They strip your weapons and two guards interrogate you. You refuse to answer their questions and they seem to get frustrated at you, but don’t threaten you in any way. In face, their guns were holstered the whole time.
About five minutes in. A third guard enters the room and pulls out a silenced gun. You scream and close your eyes in fear. This is it, you think to yourself, waiting for the gun rounds. This is the end. This is how I’m going out; trapped in a room, defenseless and helpless.
You hear two soft bangs, but no pain. In fact, you don’t feel anything. You open you eyes and see the third guard standing above the dead bodies of the other two. He pulls off his glasses and you see his face. It’s Harvey. He has come to save you.
“Alright, bud. We’ve got to get out of here quickly,” he says to you while cutting off the rope that binds you to your chair. “The police are coming to take you to jail. We’ve got to hurry.” He pulls off the rope and leads you out the door and down the hall. He and you run down to the end of the hallway and through the door to the kitchen. He and you rush out the service entrance and dash into the woods. In the front yard is a group of the party guests standing in a crowd with body guards standing around them. You don’t see any squad cars or police officers around.
Harvey turns to you and says, “I’ve been following you. We wanted to make sure you could handle a mission all alone. I wasn’t stalking you to be creepy or nothing.”
“Now what do we do?” you ask him. “The other target’s still in the building.”
He glances over at the mansion. “Can’t go back in there.”
The gravity of your mistake hits you and you look down at your feet in shame. “Now what?”
“Looks like you’re not getting paid. Sorry, man.” He heaves a heavy sigh, and then looks back up at you. “Let’s get out of here. Grab a beer. Let’s forget this whole thing, okay?”
You’ve failed your mission, but I’m sure you can do better next time.
