Elle successfully unlocked the door without making an unnecessary sound. This skill was one of the advantages of being a well-trained assassin. Now, she just applied it, not to kill someone but to make sure that someone was just fine.
When she entered the house, the surroundings were very dark, fortunately she caught a glimpse of a faint light coming from Erick's room. His lampshade was on.
She took light steps towards his room. She was careful not to make a sound that would wake him up. When she reached his bedroom door, Elle stopped. For precautionary measures, before she went in, Elle covered half of her face using her handkerchief and tied her long hair in a bum.
She wrapped her hand around the doorknob. Hallelujah, it's not locked! She turned it from steel into a rag and slowly pushed the door open.
She silently emerged from the door, tracing her steps towards his bed. Then she saw Erick's sleeping figure.
