A gray business car took advantage of the darkness and stopped by the surrounding wall of the house in front of Sean Knight's home.
Elijah Hastings, hiding in a tree outside of Sean's house, thought to himself that these people were pretty smart, knowing that parking directly in front of Sean's house would likely wake people up.
A few dogs in the village barked, and as the car engine's sound faded, the barking weakened.
With improving security these days, coupled with many villagers living in the courtyard in summer and going upstairs in winter, fewer local dogs were raised.
Six people, including the driver, got out of the car quietly, each carrying a weapon.
Elijah Hastings' heart skipped a beat!
Five of the six people were armed with knives, and one had a homemade gun!
Through the night vision device, he could see it was a small caliber gun - not very powerful, but still a gun!
If he saw them, Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper would have seen them too.
