The Scene

You have recently visited prison to see a friend of yours. He tips you off about a beautiful and extremely valuable painting which was bought by a retired millionaire widower who lives in a large manor, overlooking a rural village called Castleford.

Your friend convinces you to try to steal the painting. The next morning, you set off...

It's a damp, overcast Saturday morning as you glare out of the bus window on your way to the village, which is inscribed into one of the many Castleford valleys. Thoughts flash through your head of the painting, which is worth millions, and your escape to South America, where you plan to spend the rest of your life.

Suddenly, you conceive the nightmare of spending the rest of your life behind bars. Maybe it's not such a good idea...

Your thoughts are abruptly shattered as the bus jolts to a halt at Castleford. You nervously leave your seat and make your way of the bus...
