normally see in temples from movies. Both Jake and Barbara were awestruck at the site that lay just before them. They had to arch their heads upwards as they stepped out of the limo just to see it all. The doors were one and a half stories high. Jake and Barbara held each other as they were led up the steps. As if by magic, the doors had swung inwards to reveal an excessively large front room with a marble floor and columns on the sides. It was packed with people socializing. There were three doorways that led to different parts of the mansion. There was one on each side and the last in the back. There was a large double set of stairs that led up in a half circle and connected to the second floor. They were led up the steps and through the much smaller double doors that separated the main room from the long hallway that sat just on the other side.

He would then start moving down the long hallway and would keep wondering why anyone would want to meet him. At the end was another small set of double doors, but unlike the last one, this one didn't have any windows so you could see through.
As they approached the doors, they opened inwards and revealed a large room. The walls on both sides were lined with ceiling high bookshelves. The end of the room had a room-sized window that was covered by purple drapes, which made the room a bit dark. Just in front sat a tall brown chair and a large desks and in front of those, two smaller chairs. After they entered, they heard the doors close behind them. Because the drapes were shut, he didn't notice the woman that sat in the chair on the other side of the desk. The woman got up and introduced herself.
