"Will it work?"

"Do you have that little faith in me?" I said half paying attention to One, half trying to cross wires that connected the buildings systems.

I was crouched down outside the massive tower block in Tokyo, I'd managed to opened the electrical box to fiddle with the wires that controlled the security systems. Easy enough to break yet a little bit more complicated to fix which would make me look busy when I was feeding the guys information.

"Done."

"She's amazing." I heard Four say a little dazed.

"No flirting, it's go time." I just laughed at Ones stern fatherly tone, if you could call it that.

I stood up closing the box again, shutting the gate to the metal cage as I entered into the alley way. When I rounded the front of the building, Five was getting out of the car. I mused at her bright green dress, then frowned down at my electrician uniform.

"Next time I get to dress up fancy." I mumbled to myself

I winked at her then walked through the front entrance.

There stood a tall guy in what looked like a security uniform. Bingo.

"Hey, am here to fix the security systems that are down." I told the guard, hoping to god he spoke English. But judging by his employer he would, I held up my fake Id, which he obviously thought was the real deal.

"They are?" He said confused.

"Yah, why would I be here otherwise?" He just shrugged and led me to the back room.

He sat down in front of the monitors, clicking the mouse a few times.

"So they are." He got up offering me the chair.

"Thanks." He walk round to the back of my chair and proceeded to looking over my shoulder.

"You afraid?" I heard One say to Four over coms.

"Nope."

"Good luck."

"Saying good luck is bad luck." Four sassed back.

"I take it back."

"Taking it back is even worse luck!"

I went to giggle but then remembered where I was.

"Erm it's gonna take a while so you can go back to work." I turned to the security guard giving him my sweetest smile.

"Sure, just shout if you need anything." With that he took his leave shutting the door softly.

I turned back to the monitors fiddling for about 5 minutes with the wires then flipped a red switch. The screens jumped back into life.

"Kay we're all set here guys, Five make your move."

I looked towards the top camera that was placed outside of the building to see the grey sports car skid into view, stopping just short in front of the valet.
As One moved the crane into place so Seven would be able to get a clean shot inside the apartment, Three was revving the car outside to make a grand entrance.

"The eagle has landed, love that movie line." Seven announced.

This was it, it was either going to all go smoothly or it was going to be a disaster. I closed my eyes saying a short prayer that everyone would come out of this mission safely.

As I opened my eyes I saw Five get up from her seat, pulling the plug out of the laughing gas canasta then threw it onto the floor so the smoke could spread.
