Private Drive to Chase's Mansion

Side Gate of Chase's Mansion

Set in the high stone wall encircling Chase’s estate, the side gate is a wrought-iron affair painted black, its bars sharpened against intruders. Beyond it sprawl the manicured lawn and a graveled path leading toward the inner gardens, where topiary shapes loom in the dim evening light. The gate’s hinges groan under pressure when forced, its bolts stiff with disuse—a flaw that briefly offered escape before Scorby’s guards sealed the gap. Its position at the edge of detection makes it ideal for stealth, yet its creak and rust betray every hurried crossing.
