Atlanta airport traffic was light and he’d made good time on the interstate, reaching Newnan ahead of schedule. Collins took the Col. Joe M. Jackson Medal of Honor Highway exit and pulled into the drive-thru at Arby’s. After paying for his food, he drove east then turned south on Shenandoah Boulevard. A few minutes later Collins turned into the parking lot of the Heatherwood Baptist Church. The parking lot was empty so Collins pulled behind the church and backed his rental car into a corner spot near a tree line.At this hour there was still a stream of traffic on Shenandoah Blvd. and Lower Fayetteville Road. Too many cars to make the quarter-mile walk to the mansion without running the risk of being noticed. He needed to make sure he wasn’t seen by anyone. No one could have any recollection of a pedestrian in the area late at night. That might raise suspicion and, for now, this needed to be considered an accident.So he waited.He sat in the dark car, ate his Arby’s sandwich, and waited.Waited for the traffic to wane and for the elderly occupants of the mansion to settle in for the night.
