Chapter 21: Drowning in the pool
I had been watching my target for weeks. I had plans to his estate, his drug factory, and even his guard schedule. My client wanted it to look like an accident. I managed to slip into his estate and plant a few cameras. The only place I could almost guarantee he would be alone was when he swam laps. It was always early in the morning.
Each night, the guards around the estate were doubled or tripled and were not relaxed until after he left for the warehouses or his factory. It was late afternoon when I slipped over the corner wall in back. There were thick bushes almost all the way to the house. I knew better than to stand and went to my stomach to crawl. When I reached the spot I needed, I waited.
The guard walked by lazily and never even glanced around. I stayed on the ground and quickly crawled across to the bushes around the edge of the house. I slowly made my way to the edge of a stone patio. I was partially behind a huge planter when the guard walked by again. I waited until he was past before coming to my feet and moving to the small side door.
It opened into a small bar, and I stayed low as I moved to the other end. This was adjacent to the indoor pool. I reached up to open what looked like a cabinet before standing. I was looking into the pool room and quickly went over the bar. I dropped into the pool room and looked around before crossing to the pool. I sat and slowly slid into the water.
The pool was large and shaped like a lagoon with a rock grotto on the other side. I took a breath and sank under the water before swimming across the pool. Once in the grotto, I surfaced and pulled myself onto the small ledge and sat back to relax and wait. It was a long night I spent meditating. Finally, my watch beeped, and I slipped into the water again.
