Skylar had spent a lot of time either at Caesar's place trying to memorize the mapping of the house or trying to figure out a plan, if she wasn't there then she was at David's place training to get everything right. Time really did fly, it was already the day for everything to set, if it wasn't today then who knows when the next time would be.
The owner of the house she was going to break into was going to be leaving today and cannot have any sort of communication with his guards during that time. It had to be perfect.
She had a suit that Caesar designed for her, free of charge, it was flexible to help move and fight, and had just enough space to carry anything she might need and still move. She had taken some weapons that David had given her for this. She was at Caesar's place to put on the suit.
"Let me know if everything is fitting you alright" said Caesar.
Skylar didn't answer.
Caesar pulled on a strap of the suit, "Ow!" exclaimed Skylar.
"Well you didn't answer me so I didn't know if everything was good" Caesar replied
"Sorry" said Skylar "It's just...."
"Are you nervous?" asked Caesar
"I just... I've never done anything like this and it need to do this or else everything will fall to hell" Skylar said.
"Well" Caesar said, finishing up the suit "If it helps, I think you are going to pull this off"
Skylar looked at him.
"I've seen how much to have been trying to study the timing of everything and the house too" he said.
Skylar smiled and turned to look at the suit she was wearing, she was very impressed by it, she loved it! She turned to look at Caesar again. "Are you sure you're not just saying that so that I'll be able to pay you in the end?" she said with a grin on her face.
Caesar shrugged and looked away with a smile on his face, "Who knows"
They both gave a slight laugh, suddenly the computer started quietly beeping, Caesar was closer to it so he gave a quick look. "Looks like that guy is leaving his house, I think it's time for you to go" Skylar nodded and headed out, waving her hand towards Caesar.
The sun was setting down by the time she made it to the house, it made it easier to move around without being noticed. She started to head to the back since it was too obvious to head straight through the front door. There were two men standing towards the back door, which she already knew, she also knew that in a couple of minutes one of the men was going to leave to take a break while another came to replace his spot, she hid behind one of the bushes for the time being. Suddenly she saw one of the men starting to leave, now was her chance!
Once the first guy had left, Skylar sneaked up behind the second guy, she hit him in the back of his leg, making him fall down. She quickly started to wrap herself around him and went up to his neck to wrap her legs, she placed her hand over his mouth so that he couldn't make noise. The man tried to fight back but the lack of oxygen quickly caught up to him and he quickly passed out, Skylar still held on for a little longer just to make sure then let go of him. She pulled his unconscious body to one of the bushes to hide it. She grabbed the keys on his belt and walked to the back door. She still had a couple of minutes before someone else showed up so she had to be quick. With the door having been unlocked she looked around to see if the hall was empty, it was. Looking up she noticed an air vent, that was her next move.
She used the door handle to boost herself up to the vent, she grabbed a knife that she had to unscrew the vent and climb in, trying her best to place it as if it was not open. She started to crawl when she noticed that her suit was not making noise, Caesar must've put sneak pads into the knee of the suit, pretty smart. She made her way through he vents to get as close to the room as she could, since there was no vent connecting to it. When she got to the end she checked around to see if anyone was there, which if she was right there should be. He was standing right below where the vent was so Skylar kicked the hood as hard as she could to knock it off and make it land on him.
Immediately she jumped on to him to try to tackle him to the ground but he maintained his balance so while she was still holding on he leaped backwards to hit Skylar into the wall. She grunted in pain but still kept her grip on him, she wrapped her legs on his shoulders and threw her whole body forward to make him fall, having lost his balance she shifted her upper body to the side and upwards so that he wouldn't land on him. The man fell with Skylar landing on him, her knee on his back so he wouldn't move, she then lifted her hand and struck him right on the side of his throat to knock him out.
Skylar let out a sigh of relief, she had officially made it inside the house and to the guarded room, so far with out being noticed, but it wasn't over yet. She stood up and headed over to the door and put her hand on the door knob to turn it, of course it was locked but she was hoping that by pure luck it must have been left unlocked. She rolled her eyes and pulled out her lock picks, slightly hovering over the knob to start picking. One. Click. At. A. Time.
Finally the last click and the door knob turned, she slowly opened the door and saw an empty office. Her eyes wandered the room for a second until she spotted the small black cabinets next to the desk. She headed over to them and she knelt down on one knee to get closer she tried to open the top drawer but of course again it was locked, she slid her knife into the crack of the drawer and its lock and with a lot of force she shifted the knife to pop the drawer open, she started looking through a bunch of files trying to find the one she needed but it wasn't there. She did the same thing to the lock of the bottom drawer to open it and started rummaging through everything, until the found a small box at the bottom of the drawer. She grabbed it and of course it also had a lock on it, she rolled her eyes, this is getting annoying she thought to herself. She picked the lock of the box and found a small envelope inside, then pulled it out. She held it in her hand while thinking to herself, I actually got it.
Suddenly, the door slammed shut!
