Dennis arrived at the mansion early that morning, to the rest of the world it was late morning... The radio on his Lexus read 8:30, but to the family he'd married into though time was irrelevant. He keyed in the numbers to the gate that guarded entrance to their private drive, and  after it opened slowly made his way up the drive.<br/><br/>He parked and approached the front door, finding it unlocked as usual, he entered the house and went into the kitchen. The pot of coffee the servants had made earlier was steaming, and the smell too inviting not to have a cup. He filled a coffee cup and walked into the living room, sipping it and opening the morning paper that was laying on the table. These mornings were always quiet as he waited for the family to get dressed and show signs of life.<br/><br/>He smiled as he read the headline 'The Lockhearts Donate Again' referring to the addition to the library the family financed. "If people only knew" he thought, smiling to himself and shaking his head gently.
