0:00.0	Chapter 4. There were no other pedestrians on Cannon Street when I walked around the corner at Chapel Avenue.
0:10.0	That was nice. From a car, nothing that was about to happen would look especially suspicious, especially when performed by a well-dressed young lady such as myself.
0:19.0	I came to the lobby door that led to the offices upstairs.
0:22.4	I'd taken a peek at the lock when I cased the joint that afternoon, and I was pretty sure that one of
0:26.6	the four keys in the palm of my hand would do the trick. As it turned out, it was the second one,
0:31.2	and I slipped into the lobby quickly and quietly, locking the door behind me. I moved at a good
0:36.7	pace and didn't try and hide.
0:38.3	I was a woman entering a building with a key.
0:40.3	No one was going to suspect a thing unless I told them to by acting like a cat burglar.
0:45.3	I slipped into the stairwell and moved as quietly as I could through that echo chamber to the second floor.

1:09.0	I left the door at Mirdsons unlocked and tripped merrily down the hallway to Samuel Berker, Notary Public.
1:15.6	As expected, the same key opened Berker's office easily and I slipped into the small space.
1:20.6	I had taken a quick glance that afternoon when I had stopped in to ask for directions to somewhere I had no interest in going.
1:26.6	I knew that just ahead on the left was the door that led to what I presumed to be Mr. Berker's private sanctum.
1:32.3	I had not had an opportunity to case the room itself, but I preferred it on spec since it would let me set up without being in full view of the hallway,
1:39.3	with the light from the windows behind me creating a shapely but eminently arrestable silhouette.
1:46.2	Berker's office was illuminated by those same streetlights, but by this time my eyes had adjusted to the darkness and I moved quickly.
