Footsteps confidently striding along a gravel walkway.
A slightly off-tune doorbell.
A muffled voice.
Soft footprints on a wooden floor.
A door being pulled ajar.
A suspicious greeting.
A request for confirmation of identity.
The closing of a door, the jangle of a chain lock, the opening of a door, affirmation of identity.
An envelope pulled out of a briefcase.
A long moment of silence.
The envelope changing hands.
Footsteps heading back down the drive.
Tearing of an envelope.
Muttered reading.
Realization of inevitable arrest.
Closure of the door.
Opening of a large bottle of alcohol.
Gulping.
For some time.
