We were crouched on the outskirts of the clearing. The building towered ominously over the canopy, casting a dark shadow above us. "So heres the run down." Dad says. "Grayson, you and I will go round the back, and try to infiltrate the base from there. Marcel?"
"Yeah, yeah I know, loop the footage when you give the word. Remember, Thomas, you and Grayson only have 3 minutes to get in and out, I can't keep the loop on for much longer than that or they'll notice." Marcel answers, speaking over the radio.
"So, what about me and Cole?" I ask.
Dad looks over at me,"You two stay here and keep watch." As I'm about to protest, he interrupts, "And no funny Business."
"I'll keep the communication line open, so we can stay in contact." He pulls me into a hug, and kisses the top of my head. "Be careful kiddo." He releases me, reluctantly and sets off, with Grayson in tow.

"What's up with him?" I say, turning to face Cole.
"Who, Gayson? Damned if I know. Probably got his knickers in a twist. So, just me and you left, huh." Cole smirks and I elbow him in the gut.
"Fuck off Cole." I say, grinning.

Grayson POV
We weave through the undergrowth, keeping as low as possible to avoid detection. Thomas runs infront and I follow, my eyes skirting left to right, always alert. When we reach the back entrance, we paused to catch our breath and survey our surrounding.
"Okay, so there's two guards on either side of the door and one skirting the tree line. I can take one if you can take the ones at the door. Remember, we can't let them alert the others, so be quick." Thomas whispers.
I nod, and concentrate my attention on the guards.
"Okay Marcel, are you ready?"
"Born ready."
"Just shut up." Thomas says.
