Chapter 8

King's Palace Hotel

0355

It was 3:55AM, and I'm getting ready to call Murray. We were in Catherine and Alexander's room in the King's Palace hotel, there were two beds, both of them were king sized beds.

Erica hacked into the security cameras in SKORPION's base. Although unfortunately there were no cameras in any office, for security reasons. So we could only keep an eye on the hallway. Which was good, since SKORPION couldn't keep an eye on Murray when he was answering my call.

The clock struck 4am.

I called Murray. He answered on the second ring, which was surprising since he normally slept more than your average house cat. I guess he really needs his money.

"Hello?" He asked through the phone.

"Put on some earbuds and turn them down to minimum volume, but make sure you can hear me," I instructed.

As I waited for Murray to do that, I looked around the room. Mike was on camera duty with Erica and Zoe. Catherine gave me the details for the plan while Cyrus is waiting to write down any important things Murray finds. (This would be Alexander's job, but he failed miserably last time.) While Alexander had the most useless job, according to Cyrus. But to me, he was very important, as he was tasked with bringing us whatever we needed, including food and water. Alexander hadn't been very pleased to receive this task, but he did it nonetheless.

Alexander came back into the room with a glass of water. Looked at me, then said to Murray, "Could you hurry up? I'm paying global fees here!"

Murray then quickly finished up and went outside his room.

"I'm outside" Said Murray

"I see him!" Said Zoe.

Jessica then came into the room, "I'm soooooo sorry! I didn't realize we were meeting up here until now!"

"Whatever," mumbled Cyrus.

I continued to instruct Murray "Ok, I need you to act as though you're supposed to go to Ali's office, and come up with a reason if you ever get caught."

"Okay." Replied Murray, then added "Can I just say Ali wanted to see me?"

"Can he?" I asked Erica, who I knew was definitely listening in on the call.

"Sure, I guess" Answered Erica

I told Murray to go and find Ali's office. He passed many people there, but none of them were suspicious. Apparently Murray always wandered around in the corridor at night.

He arrived at Ali's office.

"Are you sure that's Ali's office?" I asked as Jessica came behind me to listen on the call.

"No," Replied Murray, "it's Brandon's. You know who that is."

"What? Why would he put his office in a secret location or something so that this couldn't happen?"

"He blends in this way."

"Oh, you think you can get in?" I asked, concerned

"I don't know how to pick a lock." replied Murray

Erica sighed and yanked the phone away from me.

"Do you have anything to pick the lock with you?" She asked

"Uh, I mean, I brought a hairpin I found on the ground a couple of days ago." Said Murray

"You should have just brought a toothpick with you." Said Erica annoyed "Alright, so put the hairpin into the lock. Then feel around for the pins. "

I looked at the camera, indeed Murray was trying to find the pins..

"Then," Said Erica, "turn the lock as you put the first pin up, and when the pin seems like it's loose. You got part 1 of the pin stuck. Then, you can repeat that process for the rest of the lock."

Murray started picking the lock. Then we saw Ali come towards Murray in the hallways through the cameras. I tried to warn Murray, but it was too late.

"Murray!" Shouted Ali "What are you doing?"

Murray jumped and turned around. Then shifted around to hide the hairpin that was in the lock.

Ali saw it anyway.

SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR A WEEK AHHHHH, PLEASE DONT KILL ME.
