Dustin set himself in a position, Binoculars on his eyes as he watched what the Russians were doing carefully, As Annabelle stayed quiet, Gun in hand just incase something went wrong.

"Keycard"Dustin muttered once the door closed as he rushed quickly back down.

"And there goes the excitement of maybe killing someone"Annabelle sighed, Chasing him down before entering the break room mid Dustin talking.

"-That key card opens the door, But unfortunately the Russian with this keycard also has a massive gun. Whatever's in this room, Whatever's in those boxes, They really dont want anybody finding it"He exclaimed.

"But there's gotta be a way in".

"Yeah, The door"Annabelle replied boredly, As she made Steve move over and shared the seat with him.

"Shut up"Dustin muttered.

"Well, You know...I could just take them out" Steve told them seriously as Annabelle rested her head on his shoulder, Playing with the hem of his shirt.

"Take who out?"Robin questioned amusedly.

"The Russian guard". Robin looked at him in disbelief as Steve raised a brow. "What? I sneak up behind him, I knock him out, And I take his keycard. Its easy"He shrugged.

"Only problem is, Its guards"Annabelle told him as Dustin butted in.

"And did you not hear about the part with the massive gun?".

"Yes Dustin, I did. And that is why I would be sneaking".

"Ah yes. Ninja Steve who almost always got caught sneaking into Nancy's room"Annabelle teased as Steve mumbled.

"And tell me this. Have you ever actually...Won a fight?"

"Okay, That was one time-".

"Three times. Billy this year. Jonathan year prior, And me in like third grade. You cant fight for shit Stevie".

"Listen, You dont count."

"Why? I beat the shit out of you"

"It was..."

"Sexism. I gave you a busted lip and a nose bleed."

"things that all added up"Steve continued although Annabelle's voice was much clearer.

"That just might work."Robin smiled as she ran out, Raiding the tip jar.

"Robin. Hey, Robin. What are you doing?"Steve questioned,Tripping over his words.

"I need cash".

"Well half of thats mine. Where are you going?".

"To find a way into that room. A safe way. And in the meantime, Sling ice-cream, Behave, And don't get beat-up. I'll be back in a jiff"She yelled before running off.

"Oh dude"Steve complained as Dustin was liking his scooper. "Come on man, Not my scooper".

"About a year has passed and I still dont know where you got that thing from, Mind filling me in?"Steve questioned, Reffering to the gun Annabelle shoved into her coat pocket.
