The mansion was located deep in a gated community, surrounded by a low fence and neatly trimmed plants.
The house looked solid and well-maintained: two floors, light walls, a dark roof, wide windows with thick curtains and a strong entrance door made of expensive, but not fancy wood and metal.
In front of the house there was a small courtyard with a flat area for cars, several ornamental trees and a narrow stone path leading to the porch. There were no gold ornaments or marble columns at the entrance — only simple but high-quality elements that emphasized the status of the owners without overt boasting.
The mansion gave the impression of a reliable family nest for people whose loved ones were too important to the city to allow them to live anywhere. It was not a house for displaying wealth, but for a quiet life under guard.
Even before reaching the front door, Idan felt someone's eyes on him.
