The Techno Bandits

Chapter 5

Pitch's POV
Ok we have a new mission. We have to steal a file on a hard drive from a large business incorporation. Pyro will create a diversion to keep everyone busy while I sneak in and open the door for Harper and Hazel. Once we're in Hazel will play as an employee to get to the office while Harper and I make sure she isn't followed. Griffin will be at a safe point telling us where to go. I hope this goes well today. Hazel, Harper, and Pyro are acting weird.

Pyros POV
We're here. "You girls ready?" Griffin asked. We nodded and got out of the car. Harper, Hazel and Pitch went one way while I crawled into a sewer grate. "Ew" I whined. It smells. I looked at my watch. It has a map of the sewers and where I have to go. I followed it, but as I kept moving the map changed. "Pyro, whenever you're ready we're here" harper said over the com. "Uhhhh, well I'm in the sewer but I don't know where to go" I said. "You idiot! Look at the map!" Griffin said. "I did" i said. I don't want to mess this up but I'm nervous and now I'm lost. "Its ok Pyro, just breathe. Can you tell us where you are?" Harper asked. I took a deep breath and coughed it out. It smells too bad in here. "I'm at a cross. There's four ways to go" I said. "Look around. Do you see any markings?" Harper asked. I looked around. "No" I said. There was a silence. "Ok new plan. Pyro try your best to make a diversion. We'll find another way in" Harper said. "Ok?" I said. What am I gonna do? I'm holding a bomb, lost in the sewer. I'm just gonna go left and pray its the right way.

Meanwhile
Pitch's POV
"We need a new plan, I can get us in" I said. "Ok new plan. Pyro try your best to make a diversion. We'll find another way in" Harper said. "Ok?" Pyro said. "I'm gonna climb to that vent. Ill come around and open the door. Hazel be ready when I come out" I said. She nodded. I stepped on a dumpster and climbed into the vent. This one is a lot smaller than the ones I'm usually in. Still I managed to squeeze through it into the front lobby. I waited for the woman in the room to go in the back. I got out of the vent and opened the door.

Hazels POV
I went in the back and knocked out that woman. I took her key and started my way to the computer. I heard a door close and I jumped. "Ah!" I shrieked. "Hazel are you ok?" Pitch asked over the coms. "Yeah I'm fine" I said. My eyes bounced off every wall, looking for any sign of danger. That's when I realized, I have no clue where I am. "Girls where are you?" I asked. Our coms went static. What do I do now? I heard footsteps. I got scared and ran. Another door closed and I ran the other way. I'm surrounded by sounds and I'm too overthrown by fear to see where I am.

Harpers POV
"Girls where are you?" Hazel asked. "We're downstairs" I said. She didn't answer. "Hazel?" I asked. Still nothing. "Hazel needs help" I said. "Ill go" Pitch said. "No I'll do it" I said. "Harper, if something happens, you'll be more useful down here" she said. "If Hazel is in trouble than she'll need backup and I have a gun" I walked away.

I didn't find Hazel but I did find the room she's supposed to be in. I walked in and went to the computer. If Hazel cant do it than I will. I clicked a button. "Intruder Alert" the alarm blared. It echoed throughout the building. "Fuck" I groaned.

Hazels POV
"Intruder Alert" the alarm went off. I sat down against a wall. I cant breathe. I cant see. I don't know what's happening anymore. "Ha-" I heard. Its blurry. Pitch knelt down in front of me. "Hazel can you hear me?" She waved her hand in front of my face. I looked at her. "Pitch?" I asked. "Come on, we have to go. I don't care what Harper said. I'm getting you out of here" she said. She picked me up and started down the stairs.

Pyros POV
I think I finally found the place. I looked at my map. Now its working correctly. That's weird. I placed the bomb. My hands shook as I connected the wires. I'm too nervous to do this right now. I connected the wires and the countdown started. Thirty seconds. I ran back the way I came. When I got to the sewer grate it was locked. "Griffin the grates locked" I said. It went static. Oh no. I'm gonna have to find another way out. I looked down at the flowing water. "Oh you've got to be kidding me" I groaned.

Harpers POV
Pyros bomb went off and I had to cover my ears. It shook the ground. It feels like Pyro put it too close. Why didn't she warn us? The floor started tilting sideways. "Oh shit!" I yelled. That's not the floor. Its the building. Pyro blew the bomb under the building. I ran to the nearest window and opened it. That's a fourteen story drop. Good thing I have a grappling hook. I shot it at the building next to us and when it latched on, I jumped. I crashed into the wall of the other building, making me fall at least six stories. Lucky for me I was caught by someone or rather they broke my fall. I looked down at the person. "Pyro?" I asked. "Get off" she groaned. "Why are you wet?" I asked. She pointed behind me. I looked behind me to find a broken sewer pipe spitting out water. "Ew" I said. "Yeah, you don't know the half of it" she said. I've never seen Pyro so unamused. "Lets get to the car and pray that Pitch and Hazel are ok" I said. She nodded.

We got to the car. Pitch and Hazel were already there. "How?" I asked. "We left when the alarm started" Pitch glared at me. I rolled my eyes and got in the car. "Whos gonna tell Michael?" I asked. "Well since you're the high and mighty leader who does everything, why don't you do it?" Pitch snapped at me. Pyro dipped her head out the window as the car was moving. Hazel just stared out the other side. "Seriously, what happened with you three today. Pyro you blew up the building" Pitch said. "I'm sorry. The map said I was in the right spot" Pyro said. "Hazel, you freaked out!" Pitch turned to her. Hazel didn't say anything. "And you Harper. You don't have to do everything. You're our leader. Start acting like it" Pitch said. I looked at Griffin who hadn't said a word, only to see the sly smirk on her face. Something tells me that she knew this would happen.
