Peter and Charlotte

A robbery gone wrong

I scanned the area as Charlotte ran across the airfield. Seriously, she was so talented. I would tell her that if I could talk. I can't speak, I guess I was born like that. My parents won't tell me anything of what happened when I was little. Now I'm a teenage kid that's guilty of breaking into stuff and taking things. Charlotte and I had been paid to steal things for clients. We didn't care who the clients were or what the reasons for hiring us was. We just wanted the money. We were currently at an airfield stealing a small crystal. I didn't know what it was for, just that it was well guarded. That was no problem for me. My dad had spent a lot of his time fighting and was very experienced in the area. One more thing. I own guns. I'm seriously under aged and I don't have a licence. I stole them from a place that we broke into once. Charlotte doesn't like guns, but they have been really helpful. My phone beeped and I looked at it.
Charlotte:I'm in position
Me:ok, I'm on my way
I sprinted out of my cover and met up with Charlotte. "I've hacked into the computer network and their security cameras are down" Charlotte reported and showed me some blueprints. Charlotte pulled a vent off of the wall and crawled inside. I sighed and followed her into the darkness. A head torch flashed on in front of me. I squinted in the bright light and followed Charlotte. She suddenly stopped and put her ear to a wall. "We don't have long before the security cameras go up again. I just disabled the lights, we have half a minute to get in and get out". I punch a vent and drop through the hole. My torch flicks on as I look through the dark room. A small desk is sitting at the other end of the room. I run to it and open all of the drawers. I find a key and put it in my pocket. I pick up the desk and put it in front of the door so that it blocks the doorway. My hand flies to my belt and I pull out a knife. It flies through the air and smashes the security camera. The lights come back on and Charlotte texts me.
Charlotte: get out of there!
I look around the room and find a trapdoor in the floor. I pull the door up and find it unlocked. I jump down into the dark space and land heavily on the floor. Lasers are flashing everywhere.
Me: Charlotte! Disable all laser security systems!
Charlotte: on it!
The lasers go down and I sprint to the middle of the dark room. I fumble with the key and find a safe in the middle of the room. The key goes into the lock and the door swings open. I grab the crystal and run for the ladder. I run up the ladder and slam the trapdoor shut. A rope is dangling from the ceiling and I climb it to get into the ventilation system. Charlotte is waiting there and pulls the rope up when I get up. I crawl down the ventilation system towards the daylight. We tumble out and find a disturbing sight. A couple of federal agents are pointing their guns at us. "You're under arrest for breaking into government property". We're stuffed, I think.
