A simple pay day
One job – lots and lots of cash
Two very rich men
+
An abandoned house
Nestled in a dark forest
Ancient and empty
+
A break of the lock
Time for their quick easy score
Something hidden stirs

Christmas Eve – first snow
Detective picks up the trail
Killer has no clue
—
Eyes for just the prize
Dressed out in a Santa suit
The detective waits
—
Hidden by shadow
Watching the seasonal beat
of twinkling white lights
—
Killer makes his move
Detective saves this Christmas for
one lucky victim
—
The white lights sparkle
Detective arrives at home
Christmastime is safe
Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope you guys have a great holiday.
