The gate closed with a soft click behind her.  Katie took a few tentative steps forward, but stopped in her tracks as she looked up at the house in front of her.<br/><br/><em>This place is huge.  She must make a decent amount of dough.</em><br/><br/>Smirking to herself, Katie traipsed up the walkway to the front door.  She rang the doorbell and tried to peer inside the glass sidings.  When no one came to answer she rang again.  Still nothing.  Katie turned around to see a car parked in the driveway.<br/><br/>"If she was on vacation she would have probably put her car in the garage so she must be here, she's just ignoring me."  Katie grumbled to herself.<br/><br/>She wasn't going to have any of it.  Hopping down the steps she began to walk along the front of the house so she could get a better look inside.  A few lights were on but there was no movement.<br/><br/>"Where is she?"  Katie was beginning to feel a little frustrated and stamped her foot against the wet grass.  The cool dew tickled her ankles and she continued to walk further around the house.  When she got to the side she noticed how dark and secluded it was.  The trees spread out overhead blocking the sunlight and casting shadows.  They also provided privacy from the neighbours.  No one from outside the property would be able to see where she was snooping about.
