To The Rescue

"I feel like we're going to get caught." Toni muttered as the five of them were hidden in the bushes beside Maya's mansion.

"Shut it Topaz." Jughead grumbled, hearing two of the guards walk past them. "We're going in." He then decided, standing up, straightening his clothes and leading the five of them toward the gate.

With a confident step everyone followed behind him. "Who are you?" The guards by the gate asked, widening their bodies in order to seem stronger.

"Fangs Fogarty," Fangs spoke, standing in front of the team, "I have an appointment with Maya Cooper."

"And who are these?" The other guard said, his eyes roaming over the four. Fangs smiled charmingly.

"These are my associates, I take them everywhere." With some stalling, they finally opened the gates for the group, them hurrying inside.

"Keep the coms on, always. We need to be aware of each other's situations." Jughead ordered once they walked through the huge gardens. Everyone put the tiny piece of mechanic in their ear before entering the mansion.

"Ready?" Jughead whispered, receiving four nods. "Let's go." He and Toni immediately went for the bathrooms, waiting for the coast to be clear.

They couldn't see the rest from inside the bathroom stalls, just had to wait for their sign over the coms. "Got your flirty look ready?" Jughead asked Toni, who just sighed deeply.

"I guess. For some reason I'm really fucking nervous if we're going to pull this off." Jughead smiled and gently gave her a a hug.

"We'll be alright." He promised, letting go of her.

"Thanks Jug." She said, before a voice came in over the coms.

"Coast is clear, go and get the girl." It was Cheryl's voice, and the two sighed in relief.

They slowly snuck out of the bathroom and slipped to the stairs that led to the basement. "Your turn." Jughead murmured in Toni's ear, who took the wetted towel from him. They had found a solution to knock the man out for a few hours.

The pink headed nodded before climbing down the pair of stairs.

Once in front of the basement door, she saw a tall guard watching whoever came to enter.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He abruptly asked, his face made out of stone. Toni stepped over to him, an innocent look crossing her features.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just looking for the bathroom. I can't find it." She said, sinlessly. Her hand trailed over his arm, and the man immediately lost his balance as he was tranced by her fingers. "Maybe you could help me find it?" She blinked her eyes sweetly, letting her hands roam over the man's chest.

He was instantly distracted by her, his focus away from the door. "Now." Toni silently whispered into the com, before focusing back on the man, holding the towel by his nose in a quick movement.

Jughead smiled, slipping down the stairs. With a hair clip from Cheryl, he unlocked the lock, and the door opened.
