Courage

Courage - Part One

-Author's Notes-

Hey! So, this is a story that I had to turn into a script for an English assignment. The story has intrigued me after making the characters and such, so I may just continue this! Hope you all like this small chapter.

(I cannot say when new chapters will be out either; apologies for that.)

It was a breezy night on the rooftops on Sydney, the moonlight shining big and bright. A black and fast blur was running across these rooftops, looking like they were going to a certain destination. This person was none other than Olivia, with her black spy gear blending into the night she jumped across another rooftop. Her destination was none other than the museum that has grown in popularity in the past few months. It's known for its amazing art, but tourists of this place don't know the truth about this museum. It's actually own by a mob of thieves who hide themselves in the shadows and secretly steal art from other museums. However, the duo managed to track them down and figure this out.

By duo, this means that Olivia isn't alone. Yes, she has a childhood friend helping her. His name is Ralph, he helps her by hacking into places where normal people can't reach on computers. Since he can hack, he hacked into the security system and the computers on the museum since they both thought that the museum was fishy. When he bugged the computer and received their files, they both found out that they really stole their museum items. Wanting to put their spy and detective skills into play again after having no missions to do, this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Olivia pressed her finger against the earpiece she had, making contact with Ralph. "How's it going over there? Have you found me any entrance ways on the roof?" She asked, a rooftop away from the museum. "Yes I have, you should be able to get up on the roof, and there should be a glass roof hatch right about the item we're taking." He responded back through the earpiece. His typing could be heard over the earpiece as he was tinkering with his computer. Olivia nodded, jumping onto the rooftop and beginning to search for her entryway. It didn't take her too long to find it.

Now, this duo don't just steal things like normal thieves. They only steal from other thieves, in which is what this entire museum was. They returned these stolen items to the original owners, which is what they were going to do now. Olivia found the hatch as she gazed down, but something seemed to alarm her. She couldn't quite see it from here, but it looked like the item wasn't on its stand. She pressed her finger against her earpiece again. "Ralph, I don't think the item's there. I can't tell," She responded, trying to get a better look from where she was. "I don't think this is a good idea."

"You'll be fine, I promise. Maybe you're just too shortsighted without your glasses," He commented, a light chuckle after his sentence. "Besides, if something does happen, even though I've had no training in the things you've done, I'd still come and save you." He spoke, trying to make her feel less worried,  waiting for her answer. "I guess you're right," She sighed out, opening up the glass hatch silently. "I'm going in." With a successful landing, she was now in the room. Looking around, there was a curtain in which she could climb up on if things got bad. She strolled over to the item's stand quietly, but got met with a surprise.

The item wasn't there. All that was there was a layer of dust and a raven calling card, a thick metal photo. "Hmm?" She hummed quietly, picking it up. It was a black raven, with an unsettling red eye amongst the darkness of the feathers. "What is it?" Ralph asked through the earpiece, wondering what was going on. "It's some weird metal raven, with this creepy eye." She commented, examining the small bird. Without warning, the red eye slot moved and sprayed out a pink gas into Olivia's face as her body began to get sleepy. She stumbled, falling over, a loud thud resonated across the walls. The thud alarmed Ralph, since Olivia left her earpiece on.

"Olivia? Are you okay?" Concern was heard in Ralph's voice as he spoke through the earpiece, but he could hear footsteps on the other side that were too heavy to be Olivia's. His concern began to grow as he began to panic. "Olivia? Olivia?!" The footsteps came right next to Olivia's now shadow covered body. The person who was hiding in the darkness crouched down next to her, pulling out the earpiece from her ear. "Olivia?! What happened?! Are you okay?!" His anxiety of her being not okay began to shoot through the roof as he heard the heavy breathing on the other side. "Olivia, I think earlier we got bu--" A crunching noise could be heard as the dark figure stomped on the earpiece, picking up Olivia's body.
