Your replies on this page can be graded by your teacher

Let’s create a checkpoint piece. You can either revise and polish your work from this lesson (we’ve pasted it below) or you can write something new. (Your teacher may have a preference.)

Remember to:

have something happen suddenly
the client thinks it's dangerous and reacts quickly
the pace slows as it's investigated
finish with a topper to the event

And somehow I knew that his finger wasn’t wrapped round another bundle of money. For about thirty seconds nobody moved. Then Naples slid across to the window, standing to one side so that he could look out without being seen. He had to stand on tiptoe to do it, his hands perched on the sill, the side of his face pressed against the glass. When he turned around, he left a damp circle on the window. Hair oil and sweat.
