- 1-20: […] a group enters the property you're watching. There are two men and three women, all wearing dark, hooded cloaks. An hour later, five emerge – […] in gaudy finery: swaddled in silks with bright ribbons woven into their hair. […]
- 21-40: […] you spot an old man shuffling up the road. He hobbles painfully slowly – it takes him twenty minutes to reach the location you're watching. But when he does, he darts in, suddenly nimble. […]
- 41-60: The hours pass slowly. A revel breaks the silence. […] Wine bottles shatter on the cobbles – the liquid trickles round the stones. The noise is barely muted by the gathering entering the property you're watching. […]
- 61-80: […] A giggling couple sneak into the property you are watching, and make a public display of their affection before one of the open windows. You know a distraction when you see one; […] a number of shifty individuals are creeping through the shadows. […]
- 81+: A tall gentleman loiters in the shadows cast by a street lamp. […] You see him through the windows, checking that each room is clear. Eventually, he whistles: a number of people emerge from an alley and step quickly into the building. […]
