Danger in Disguise The lavish house stood isolated on the mountain with the closest neighbours about a kilometre away. A wary woman, Mary, and her newborn baby occupied the mansion while her avaricious husband was on one of his usual business trips. After rocking her child to sleep, the young mother decided to relieve her exhaustion by sinking into a therapeutic Jacuzzi. After an hour of relaxation, she decided to go to bed. As she vacated the bathroom and fastened her bathrobe, she sensed and unwanted presence overwhelm her remote household. Mary had always been cautious and some-what paranoid. The sound of footsteps followed by a loud thud was all it took to put her into a state of panic. She instantly reached for her husband’s rifle. She had company. Her heart was in her throat and her adrenaline level was peaking. She tiptoed from room to room in search of the prowler. When the terrified woman approached the kitchen, the sound of the footsteps loudened. Not knowing what to do, she crept behind the kitchen door and watched to see if anyone passed by.
