Sparks: Snooping Around

It was around 12:32 a.m. when Trestin thought it was time to go. Mr. Burke's shift ended 4 hours ago, but he took a nap to get rest for the big task in front of him. He was laying in bed thinking about the task at hand. Break into the school. Spy on the USB Drives. Catch Corey. Or, at least that was the plan. If things went wrong, he had no backup plan, so he was screwed. It was good thing he had an inside man, or so to say girl. She would meet him at the 'vantage point' and help him through the window she 'accidentally' left open for him while she was in drawing club after school. He got up from his bed and put on his backpack, which contained his so-called supplies: A flashlight, A Granola Bar (in case he got hungry), and The Inside Man's bribe. He put on denim jeans, a t-shirt, and a ski mask he bought while sledding with his family. He slowly opened his bedroom window and left it slightly open, so he could get back inside. He slid off the roof as quietly as he could and lowered himself onto the front driveway. He hid behind his mother's car, and peeked out to spot anyone who could jeopardize his plan. The school was in walking distance of his house, so he ran towards it, keeping quiet. When he got to the locked front gate, he saw a shadow appear. He quickly got out his flashlight and shined it in the intruder's face. "Hey!" Anastasia whispered annoyingly. "Watch where you shine that thing!" She was Trestin's inside man. As she was instructed, she hid in the school until it closed so she could help him get inside. She stared at him angrily. "What are you doing! Open the gate and hurry up!" Trestin whispered. "Not until I get my pay" "Fine." Trestin sighed and reached into his backpack and pulled out a kitten calendar and handed it to Anastasia. She squealed with excitement, and pulled out her own purse, and shoved it inside. She took a key out of her pocket and unlocked the gate, making sure it didn't squeak. The two teenagers quickly made their way across the school yard and towards the library, where they could enter the school. "So, Anastasia did you get complete duplicates?" Trestin asked curiously. "Yes. For the whole entire sch-" Trestin covered her mouth and he shushed her. He pointed inside the library towards a security guard shining his flashlight around the library. "This just keeps getting stranger and stranger by the minute. Who puts guards in a school?" "Maybe there was some vandalism recently?" Anastasia suggested. "Just put on your ski mask and follow my lead" Anastasia put on a ski mask she took out of her backpack. Trestin slowly unlocked the door and slid it open. He picked up a pebble and threw it towards the other side of the library. "Huh? Who's there?" The frightened guard asked. He started to walk towards the other side of the library, and Trestin and Anastasia closed the door silently and snuck up stairs. That was a close one.
