I have a scene where a character is watching the set up of a party he plans on crashing, but I do not want his identity to be revealed. What is the best way of accomplishing that? Also, in a scene a few pages later, this same character is getting dressed for the event (adjusting his cuffs/tie, etc), but again, his identity is not revealed. How can I set that up? Thanks in advance for your expertise! And Happy Holidays!

He could wear one of those really expensive rubber masks.
JP - So I would just describe what the character is seeing. Perhaps after stating something like "a figure stands hidden behind the tree. The people move in and out of the house. Lexa (a character in the story) moves past the windows, checking security." Something like that? Dan - Actually the character is identified earlier on, and he sneaks into the party later and we have a scene with him at the party.
Thanks to both of you, John and Dan, for your guidance. This sends me in the right direction. I appreciate you. Happy Holidays!
