INT. -JULIAN BLACK'S MANSION to KINSEY'S CAR - EVENING

Mind made up, Kinsey felt better driving to the mansion. She played out whole conversations with Simone in her head, where she spoke eloquently and powerfully, in which the stunning woman accepted her terms without an argument and even begged Kinsey to stay. As she pulled into the gated driveway, entering her code in the keypad, Kinsey almost smiled at the thought of her great success, imagined as it was.

Her soft-soled shoes pattered on the steps as she circled the house to the side door. Simone gave her a key just a few days ago, allowing her to come and go as she pleased. It was far easier than dealing with Julian Black's watchful butler. The nasty little man gave Kinsey anxiety so powerful she dumped a cup of coffee on him once.

Served him right.

She slipped through the glass door and into the study, head down, mind on her job, heading for the heavy wooden portal on the far side of the fireplace.

"Excuse me."
