Chapter 32

Happy was once again scaling the side of a building, but this time nobody knew that she was even considering climbing the building, let alone doing it.

Her mission was to get into the home, and set bugs all throughout the third floor. Where the guests weren't allowed access, and was blocked off downstairs. So the only way was to get in from the outside.

A wealthy man and woman, were suspected terrorists. So during their wedding in their giant home in San Diego the team thought it would be best to complete the mission then. Plenty opportunity to get in and out without getting caught, or getting suspicious looks.

Toby was still inside, undercover at the wedding reception with Paige. Planting the bugs needed on the first floor. Walter was in the next building over trying to get a stronger wifi signal to make sure the bugs were placed in the right spot, and were responding as they were supposed to. Cabe was on the second floor, posing as a photographer. Giving him easy access to all the different guests, and rooms, and distracting guests who needed to be distracted. And Sylvester was in the van, manning the comms, and making sure everything was going to plan.

The comms on Happy's end was off for some odd reason, so she had no way to communicate with the team.

She was originally supposed to make her way up to the third floor, using the air ducts, but that didn't really work. She may have had a little...mishap. So that's how she ended up stuck up on the side of a building. At least 3 stories up.

Sage was also participating in the mission, standing guard for Happy in front of the alley. Making sure none of the drunk guests made their way back there to interrupt her work. Or spotted her doing something highly illegal, such as climbing up the side of a building on private property.

And nobody would find a child as suspicious as a grown man. So Sage was the perfect man, or girl, for the job. Not to mention that she's completely adorable, and nobody can say 'no' to her puppy dog face. Not even strangers.

She was absolutely thrilled when she found out she was allowed to help them on the case. Even though her job wasn't all action and everything, it was better than sitting at home waiting for them to come home.

She heard a loud smash on the ground behind her. She turned, and there was no Happy, but there was a broken flower pot, it's little pieces scattered across the ground instead, and then a white brick fell, not long after.

She looked up to see Happy hanging from a windowsill. The protruding brick she had been resting her foot on, gave out beneath her and fell to the ground. Now she was just hanging there, helplessly.

Sage's eyes widened, and she whimpered. Then pressed her finger to her ear to activate the comm Sylvester had given her. "Dad! Happy's hanging off the side of a building. She's gonna fall!" She yelled. Then started running towards her.

But her feet wouldn't move, like they were glued to the ground beneath her. She could hear the whole team yelling in her ear. But the only thing she was focused on, was to get to Happy.

"I'm coming Happy!" Was the last thing she heard on Toby's end. Then her mind just blocked out anything else.

She could no longer smell the foul stench of the garbage a few feet from her. She couldn't hear anything, just a loud ringing in her ear, and her own brain going a million miles a minute, trying to figure out what's wrong. And all feeling in her arms, legs and hands disappeared too. As if she were falling into a deep sleep.

Only difference was she was awake, and fully aware of what was happening around her.

She was pumping her unfeeling arms, and her legs still weren't moving. She tried screaming, or yelling. But she couldn't speak. Words wouldn't come out. She couldn't even hear herself or her own thoughts anymore, because the ringing had just gotten louder, and even more distracting.
