Rupert came to the mansion.He saw Roxette's car parked and knew at once that she was in danger.He stood at the window peering  but nothing was visible. He did not however notice  the police officer holding a gun.He rang the bell and was ushered inside at gun point.
Harry was lying on the ground unconscious. The impact of something sharp on his head  had rendered him unconscious.He was in the middle of the highway.The chances of  getting crushed by any fast moving vehicle were high.
The wind blew stirring the leaves on the branches.It was as if the breeze was urging him to get up.After half an hour he  regained consciousness. His car was lying upside down.He touched his head as he experienced terrible pain.His hand  was drenched in blood as it searched the scalp where the skin had broken.
He stood up and went to the side of the road waiting for a passing vehicle.
He waited patiently for an hour but nothing appeared.So he made his way back into the woods walking past trees and bushes until he came to a big mansion with pink roses on it.
He rang the bell .At once a dwarf appeared.
" Please help me I was caught in an accident," he said.
The housekeeper closed the door then returned with a smile.
" Please follow me," he said.
Harry followed him into a room.It was connected with steps leading downwards.
The housekeeper then cleaned his wound and bandaged it.
" May I use your phone?" He asked.
" No but I shall drop you wherever you wish," said the dwarf.
" Yes please drop me home," he said.
He could hear voices emanating from the room following the stairway followed by a gun shot.
