Princess Street Score: 0 Moves: 1
It will forever remain one of life's mysteries: why should a simple man like yourself get on the wrong side of anybody?
You are, after all, just a typical accountant. A little sideline romance with the secretary (what's she called -- Joanna) is a pleasant diversion from the tedium of your nine hour working day. Even your name, Charles Johnson, is unremarkable.
Unfortunately, in today's world, security is nothing more than an illusion. Predators, sometimes even our most trusted friends, make plans for our downfall. Unseen snipers close in, ready to pull the trigger when we least expect it.
Perhaps it's just human nature -- everybody has....

The weather has rapidly deteriorated, raindrops bouncing off the slanted marquee onto the pavement. Darkness comes early in the winter months, but fortunately the street lamps keep this area of the city well illuminated. The prospect of the warm lobby of the eight-screen cinema to the west becomes more attractive with each passing second.
You take another glance at your watch: twenty minutes to seven. Glancing up and down the street, the only pedestrian you see is a down and out disappearing into an alleyway.
You had arranged to meet Joanna at half past to see a movie, and possibly a romantic dinner afterwards. It came as a relief when she accepted your invitation, with all the attentions that slimy boss of yours, Keith, has been giving her lately. Now you're beginning to think your short lived luck has run out already.
