Going Way Back

(For better reading experience, try to play the indicated song. It will serve both as an audio and a background music. Enjoy guys :) )

I usually take pride on how I can sneak into places. I could hide myself in plain sight, could enter into a minimum security place and has a well experience in parkour.
