A rough knock on the door made Isabella jump as it echoed in the quiet building. There werent many visitors to the Genealogy department of the archives daily, but they always came with an appointment set. Isabella thought back to her planner and realized that she didnt have any appointments that day.
Ben, can you get that? She asked as she continued with the papers she was currently sorting. She heard him move from his desk over to door, and she heard the sound of the door opening. The words were a bit muffled, and Isabella couldnt understand what was being said, but when she looked up Ben was right in front of her looking anxious.
There are some men out front asking for you. He said as he tilted his head in the direction of the front door, and then headed back to his desk.
Thanks, Isabella replied as she got up from her desk and walked down the little hallway towards the front door. I wonder what they want. Isabella thought to herself as she finally saw the visitors.
Two men stood in the entrance looking very out of place in the brown, old office. Their crisp black suits, matching sunglasses and fit, built figures reminded Isabella of bodyguards, but their expressions looked more like an executioners.
How can I help you gentlemen? Isabella asked apprehensively as the men only stiffened and looked daunting. You usually need an appointment to-
Are you Isabella Marie Russo? The one man asked as he looked down at her with a frown.
Yes, but- Isabella managed to get in before she was interrupted again.
Youre going to have to come with us. The other man said as he reached out for her.
Excuse men, but who are you? And why do you want me? Isabella said loudly as she pushed the mans hand away and took a step back.

So the extract can't be any longer, it just needs to be good enough or not good enough.

But put yourself in the judge's shoes, does this stand out enough to give a prize to? It is mystery, awesome enough to win?

I really hope you decide to write more, whether you win or no. Please?

Would changing her reaction at the end make her more spunky?
