"Shhh!" I shush Jax as we crawl through the vents. "I can't help it if my pocket watch makes loud noises!" Jax whispers back. I peer down through a gap, yes! We reached Harlow and Jocelyn's room. Luckily for us, it was empty. "We have to do it quickly and quietly." I say as I lower myself down. I look around, it was a very dark and black room. I pull open a couple of drawers.
"Uh, I don't think her shoes would be in drawers." Jax says, looking down from the vent. I move onto closets, aha! There, lying at the bottom of one of the closets, it a pair of black shoes. The one Jocelyn loves to wear! "Quick! Whipped cream!" I whisper-yell to Jax. He throws me the can and I quickly spray a bit inside, not so much that it was visible. Suddenly, I hear footsteps. Uh oh. I stuff the can into my pocket and close the closet doors. As quickly as possible, I push all the drawers shut and jump onto the desk, standing on tiptoes trying to reach the vent. Getting up is harder than getting down. Jax reaches a hand down and I grab onto it. He pulls me up and into the vent just in time as the door opens. We hold our breath as we watch Harlow walk in and grab a couple of papers on her desk.
Ting!
The can of whipped cream taps against the vent. I lean as far back as possible without making a noise. Harlow looks up suspiciously. Me and Jax inch away, being quiet to avoid getting caught. I can hear Harlow walking over, she's climbing onto the desk! Frantically, I nudge Jax and we start moving faster and faster. We just have to turn the corner and she won't see us!
CRASH!!!
I look back cautiously, there was no Harlow. "UGH!" I hear Harlow huff. She must have slipped on some papers one the desk. Taking the advantage, we bolt through the vent until we were far from Harlow and Jocelyn's room. I look around for somewhere we can climb out of. There was one nearby. I look down. We're above the RLW meeting room. Speaking of RLW...... I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING A MEETING TODAY! I glance at the clock in the room. Five minutes before everyone comes in. I'll just have to be late. I push open the vent and jump down, nearly twisting my ankle. Jax looks confused. "I have a RLW meeting." I explain before running out of the room.
