028. A FRIEND WAY
"i've never met a girl like you before"
-a girl like you, edwyn collins
˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Kat, Robin, and Steve were sitting in the back room avoiding work as Dustin went back on the roof."That keycard opens the door, but unfortunately, the Russian with this keycard also has a massive gun," he explained. "Whatever's in this room, in those boxes, they really don't want anybody finding it."
Robin shook her head. "But there's gotta be a way in."
Steve threw his hat on the table, shrugging. "Well, you know...I could just take him out."
Kat widened her eyes. "Take who out?"
"The Russian guard," Steve said as if it were obvious. "What? I sneak up behind him, I knock him out, and I take his keycard. It's easy."
"Did you not hear the part about the massive gun?" Dustin asked, his brows raised.
"Yes, Dustin, I did. Which is why I would be sneaking," he said, as if Dustin were the one being unreasonable.
Kat leaned back in her chair. "Have you ever actually...won a fight?"
Steve was quick to defend himself. "Okay, that was one time—"
"Twice. Jonathan. Year prior?" Dustin said, holding up two fingers.
"Listen, that doesn't count."
"Why wouldn't it? Because it looks like he beat the shit out of you." Dustin added, turning to Robin. "You got a fat lip, crooked nose..."
Kat had started to drown him out. Her eyes traveled to the vent on the wall. If they can't go through doors, there's an easier way to get to this room. The vents! "That just might work," Kat said, grabbing her backpack and rushing out of the room.
Steve and Robin followed after her, watching in confusion as she grabbed all of the bills out of the shared tip jar. "Some of that's mine!" Steve shouted as Kat was backing up. "Where are you going?"
