Story start

By Zerine
Ok this is the start of my new story. It doesn't have a title, but it will soon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Prologue

The house was old and virtually falling apart. The porch creaked and groaned like a sinking ship every time the wind blew. The yard was littered with rotting leaves and ivy slithered along the deep-rooted trees that endured in the yard. It was located on Nightshade lane miles away from town. These qualities were exactly Robert Delacourt could not understand why anyone would want to buy the house.
“You’re insane!”
“No, really I’m not,” the man said hastily hoping to calm Robert down. Robert had exploded at him when he said he wanted to buy the house, “it’s a nice house”
“A nice house! Man, this is a homeowner’s nightmare! It’s gonna take years to fix up the place! Moreover, imagine how much money it’ll cost!”
“I have friends who can help with that,” he said calmly, silvery-sapphire eyes looking amused.
“You need professional help for this! Your friends aren’t gonna be able to handle this kind of work!”
“I’ll be fine.”
Robert stopped his rant and looked at him. The sun cast a light that made his hair look reddish- gold. He looked like the type who could handle anything.
“Yeah, but you’re probably gonna regret this”
“I’m not.”
“………”
“So when can I move in?”
“As soon as we get the paperwork completed”
“Great”
Robert watched as he walked back to the car. At that instant, he made up his mind.
“Hey”
“Yeah?”
“Why don’t we get it done today? That way you can move in as soon as possible.”
“Sure!”
‘The other real estate agents are going to have a field day about this,’ Robert thought as he walked over to join him, ‘they’re never gonna believe that I sold the Bellville place.’

So that's it for now. Tell me what you think.
This is a prewiew of what's comming up.
Chapter One

One year later
“I’m coming," he yelled as he opened the door.

He stopped and stared,"Who're you?"
"We are part of the FBI."
I'll post more up as soon as I finish this chapter.
