I knew it was time to elevate my surveillance game, so under the cover of night, I swapped out the cameras in my house and attic.
I installed high-end cameras that could transmit wireless signals.
This way, even when I wasn't around, I could monitor everything through a dedicated app.
But tonight, my mind was restless, unable to find peace even for a moment.
I dressed quickly, stepped into my van, and grabbed a few essential tools.
I had taken time off for this mission, and my van was stocked with an array of tools, including climbing gear.
I grabbed a rope and stealthily approached the back of the small courtyard.
The area was desolate, on the edge of a single-story neighborhood and the city itself.
Between a residential building and an outbuilding, I found a narrow gap.
Using the rope, I began to climb.
As an amateur rock climber, this level of climbing was no challenge for me.
Moreover, escaping is a basic skill for a journalist, and I was well-prepared.
