Lola Brinks//Lani
--------------------------

I left my spot and ran towards the two dead bodies. The ones I just killed. I knelt down and searched their bodies for any useful gadgets or key cards. I searched their pockets and BINGO! Key cards. Just what I'm looking for.

I hid their body behind a bunch of crates. I really don't care if these people see the blood. I'm not a cleaner.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a few men talking. It looked like there were coming for the other side. I remember checking the blueprints of this building. There was a door on the side of the building. Guessing that's where they're going. I moved a bit closer so I wasn't too far away from them. "Yea so the data is on the top floor in the boss's office. Apparently it's top secret government shit." One of the goons said. Hm, I wonder what that could be.

Out of nowhere, something besides me just toppled over and crashed. "The fuck?" Another one of the goons slowly crept over to the crates I was hiding behind. Shit. I crawled to the side and took my knife out. Shit okay how we finna go about this.

"Just tiles." He said. "Why'd it look like something just ran past here?" One of them said. Fuck.

A plan, A plan. FIGURE OUT A PLAN! "I saw that too." Said one of them. Oh no. Okay so there are four of them. Easy. I saw two of them walk towards my new hiding spot.

DING DONG! TIME TO BUST!

As soon as they came into view, I sprung up and used my two knives and dug it into their necks. They held onto their neck as they fell limp to the ground, choking on their own blood. "Someone's here!"

Fuck.

No hesitation, I took my gun out and shot the other two guys in the chest. "Got no time for shit no more." I came out of my hiding spot and walked towards the door. I used the key card I took earlier to open the door. Empty.

Whatever

I walked towards the next door, my hand already on the door handle. I could just open it without thinking but that would just be stupid. So I climbed on top of a box and looked through the window.

Coast is clear.

I opened the door and walked in. Top floor, that's where the data is. Out of nowhere, an alarm rang.

Shit I'm in trouble.

"Someone's in the building, I repeat, someone is in the building!" A male's voice rang through the intercom. Gotta hurry.

I ran towards the stairs but then I got cornered but two men. "Who's you?" One of them asked. I didn't know what to say, so I just ran back down. "She's the intruder!" The other one shouted.

"Uhhh no I'm not. I'm your father's mail man." I finally made it to the bottom of the stairs and pulled my knife and gun out. I turned around and shot the other one right in the arm. I threw my knife right into the other guy's eye, making him scream like a baby. I moved aside and ran back up stairs. Almost there.

-----[]---[]----- 

I'm finally here. After an encounter with five more people, I made it to the last room on top floor where the data was. I pressed my eat against the door to hear any noise.

Nothing.

I checked my ammo chamber to see how much ammo I have left.
