It is 12 midnight. The warehouse is so quiet. Only voices of the criminals be heard, sometimes. The boss is in his office having a meeting with other underworld gang leaders about their dirty business.
Rajawali: Where is Clown? He is late.
Mr. White: Hush, not too loud. We might fail if we made a lot of noise. Let's wait. I hope the monkey will not deceive us.
Harpy:The monkey is going to regret for cheating us.
Golden Boy:Yeah, the monkey is late. Something is not right.
Rajawali:Are you having bad feeling ?
Golden Boy:This is our chance to escape. I can not calm down if something bad happened to Clown.
Harpy: Look, someone is coming.
Clown: Sorry!
Mr. White: Hey, don't be so loud. Why are you late? Where are the keys ?
Clown: I haven't taken the keys yet. I was wandering around to look at everything. Alright, there is a small door at the back of the warehouse but there are two criminals guarding it and it is opened. The glass of windows here are thick. You will hurt yourselves if you crash it. So, at the door, I will lure them to me. I will throw some fruits and let them chase me. At least one of them. Then, it is up to al of you. Fly with speed, as fast as you could. Make a momentum especially Harpy. You are the biggest raptor here. They will notice you first. They also will notice Mr. White, Golden Boy and Rajawali. So, this time you have to be quick, dive from a high place with your speed. Wait at the ceiling and aim for the door.
Mr. White: What about you, Clown?
Clown: Wait for me outside. Don't worry about me. Now, I am going to get the keys. Oh by the way, they have two German Shepperd in this building. But, I haven't seen the dog just now. So, if we fail to get out they will detect us and those criminals will try to shoot us with tranquilizers.
Golden Boy: Dogs are easy for me.
Clown: No doubt, the two dogs are no match for four eagles but this time it is not about strength and speed anymore. Remember, they can shoot you with tranquilizer darts if we can't get out. The dogs will be the alarm for the criminals. Enough! I am going to get the keys. Wait for me here.
Clown leaves them and heading to the drawer where the guard keep the keys. On it's way to the room, the monkey can see one of the dog sleeping near the door of the room. Clown should be very quiet and very careful since a dog is a predator too. It has great hunting sense. For one mistake, the dog will bite the monkey to death.
Slowly and quietly, the monkey grabs the pipeline near the ceiling. It swings through it and pass the dog perfectly. Now, the path is clear for Clown to the room. There is no one around. Other criminals are doing the job and not so many of them in the building.
The boss distributed tasks for them and maybe some of them are packing the antiques stuff sold in the auction. Then, it will be handed to the customers he won the bid. Everything is discreet here because the business is illegal.
Right now, Clown is entering the room of his friend. His friend is sleeping. He looks so tired. Without waiting much longer, the monkey opens the drawer and grab a bunch of keys.
Guard: Alice, go chase the rabbit! Catch it!
Clown: You must be dreaming my friend. But, who is Alice? Probably, it is his daughter.
Guard: So long, Carla. I will see you later, if I can.
Clown: He is crying in his dreams. Carla must be his late wife. I am sorry for you my friend. But, I have to go. So long, Tommy.
