“Let’s set fire to the car,” you whisper to Kate. She nods and take a small incendiary device from her backpack.

You creep towards the car, keeping it between yourself and the front door. Kate places the device next to the fuel tank and sets the timer for two minutes. You both scurry back, moving further up the stone wall, closer to the back of the house.

A bright flash lights up the sky. The deafening roar of the explosion fills your eardrums.

Two agents run out. They pause a second, one crying out in disbelief and continue to run towards the car. Both have their pistols drawn. Kate jumps over the wall and you follow her. At the back of the house, she quickly looks through the window, nods at you. She stands up, opens the window and slides though. You follow her. You enter into a small living room, illuminated by the pale blue light of the television set. You start searching for the memory stick but find nothing. Kate quickly searches the kitchen. You notice that the light from the flames outside is diminishing. Your time is running out.

Kate returns from the kitchen, shrugs and heads for the stairs. You follow her. As you ascend the second stair, the door opens and the bulky agent from your hotel room enters. He raises his gun and fires.

He is an expert shot and does not miss.

The end.
