I open the door. Antony looks from the bedroom. I see a man wearing a black cloak. He had sunglasses on. He had the mark on the tie and my eyes widen. The mark. Has she found me again? My breath grows heavy.

"The Purple Wolf expects you tonight for the opera party." He hands me an invitation.

My eyes narrow. This could be my chance if she expects me. Does she know I've been hunting her? She could be very well hunting me. The wolf always hunts the deer. I take the invitation. I don't suppose I can bring a plus one. 

"And if I refuse?" I ask.

"She tells us you won't." He says.

She's right. I won't. I nod.

"Tell her I'd be delighted to attended." I say.

"She told me that's what you'd say." He turns.

I close the door behind him. I hold up the invitation. Soon... soon... I'll have my revenge. Almost ten years now I've longed for this.

"Hi boys. How's it going?" Sherry asks finally up.
