Summary: Caradoc was on a mission when things turned strange
These missions that took weeks were the sort Caradoc liked best, the ones that took his full attention - the payout was always better when you were able to track your prey for weeks, learn their schedules, their family, their weaknesses, until you got them into just the right spot. Yes, he liked this sort of thing. He moved slowly through the woods, keeping his sights trained on his target as he moved slowly. He was nearing the finish now.
Just a few more hours of waiting.
Of course that was when things went arse up - though they did that when you tended to let your focus shift from the target and started thinking about how good it would be to be finished with all of this. Caradoc knew better. Never lose your focus on a mission, not until you were back at the Ministry filling out the paperwork, never before then.
He was gone, the Death Eater he had been tracking for weeks, he'd finally caught up with him and now he was gone - but it was more than that. The woods had changed, the trees were thinning out far sooner than they were supposed to be. This forest was supposed to go on for miles more before he was even close to the edge again. And yet the trees were opening in front of him giving him glimpses of open grounds. He pulled out his wand, gripped it tight and moved forward cautiously. You lost focus once on a mission you were an idiot, you did it twice and you were dead.
