We live in a free world. We are democratic. We are safe. We live our lives, with our problems. We believe. We have hopes, achievements, our purposes, dreams. And most importantly, we lie to ourselves. Others lie to us. The difference is between people. Some can lie better than others. We can't survive in this world without lies. And if you say otherwise, you are lying.
We are in control of our lives, we are aware, we are safe, the world is beautiful and everything is okay. If you agree...
...you are lying.
"Where are we going?" Audacity asked when we left Destrix behind us. "We will visit my old friend. He can help us with our new operation," I said. "But I'm not sure if he is willing to," I said and gripped the steering wheel. "This is giving me deja vu," Audacity crossed her hands. "Look, I know the last job wasn't so good and we trusted wrong people, but I knew this guy long enough to know that he is not a backstabber. Trust me," I tried to calm her down. "Alright. Where does this friend of yours live?" She asked. "Cavern Shores,"
Cavern Shores was a calm city on the West. Many shapes come here to escape the chaos of Capital or coldness of Snow lands. You can find almost everything here. Seaside, mountains, caves, hot weather.
"I and my parents lived here when I was a toddler. It feels kinda nostalgic to come back here. I never returned after..." I cut myself off. "That's not important, we will find him here for sure." I drove across the city and parked in front of a small house on the city's edge.
"Well, here we are," I said and turned off the engine. We walked to the door and knocked. No answer. "Maybe he's not at home?" Audacity said. "No, he is in there," I knocked again. No answer. "HEY LYCAN! I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE! STOP SPYING US WITH THAT CAMERA AND LET US IN," I yelled.
"Can you quiet it down? Someone will hear you," the door opened and revealed a blue shape. "Heya buddy, how is it going?" I smiled and offered him a hand. "Pretty fine, and who is your friend?" Lycan shook my hand and observed Audacity. "This is Audacity. Audacity, this is Lycan," I introduced them to each other. "Nice to meet you," Audacity said and they shook hands. "Same here. Why don't you come inside?" Lycan said and went inside. We followed him to the living room.
"So, I see that you are doing well for yourself," I looked around. "Yeah, it's pretty nice here," Lycan said and sat down. "Very fancy chandelier you got here," I touched all light bulbs and pulled out one. "Do you mind if I..." I threw it on the ground and it shattered. From a pile of shrapnels, I took a small eavesdropping device and smashed it.
"Knew it," I said and sat down. "Wait, how..." Lycan started but I cut him off. "You got this house from the government. And considering you are an elite hacker and you can find out about their darkest secrets, it's obvious that they would spike you."
"Alright, what do you want," he gave up. "We would appreciate your help with our new job, " I said and took out the envelope. "Okay, no," Lycan stood up. "First of all, I'm not doing this anymore, and second, I'm retired." "You? And retired? You must be joking," I laughed. "No, Splinter listen. I was in this game long enough and I got out alive. That makes me the right age to be retired, " Lycan stated.
"What did they offer you?" I said calmly. "Freedom," he said. "And this is what freedom looks like? They are spying on you god damnit!" I yelled. Lycan looked down. "Just please, take look at it," I gave him the envelope. He remained silent. "Okay then. Looks like we will need to find another way to get insides, A. Bye Lycan, it was good to see you," I took the envelope and left with Audacity behind me.
"So what now?" she asked when we got to the car. "We will wait," I said and looked at Lycan's house. After a few seconds, he opened the door. "Okay fine, I will do it," he yelled. I smiled, walked to him, and gave him a hug. "Welcome back, friend,"
"So, this is where you work for now?" Lycan said as we were driving through the Destrix. "Yep," I nodded. We drove to the Tower and took Lycan to the planning room.
"Here is everything we need to know about the target," I showed Lycan the description of the shape. "He is supposed to have a private mansion somewhere in the mountains on the east," "And my part is to do what?" Lycan asked. "Well, we will need you to find blueprints for the mansion including vent and duct system, and hack into their security system," Audacity said and leaned back in her seat.
"Well let's get to work, shall we?"
The preparations went pretty well. Lycan showed he didn't forget his tricks. We got plans of the main building and everything we needed. We also had to steal the van that delivers food supplies there. Lycan would sit and operate from there.
We also needed some equipment, so guys from the gang helped us. After 5 days, we had everything we needed.
"So, let's go through the plan again," I pointed at the board with all the information. "We will drive here, where the duct is on the surface. Audacity, you will go in through there, then here," I pointed at the blueprints of the duct and vent system," you will enter the vents that lead here, into this corridor. While you'll be getting inside, I will connect Lycan to the main electricity source and he will shut down the cameras and detectors. There will be few guards walking around, so I can cover Audacity while she is inside. When you'll get to the target, Lycan will create sound disturbance and I will shoot the target. Audacity, your job after that will be to dispose of the bodies and get out of there. There will be a secondary car parked on this parking lot 1 km away from the mansion. We will get there, get rid of the van and get out of there," I finished and looked at them.
"I think we have it all," Lycan said and stood up. "Yeah, we can do this, " Audacity nodded.
"Great,"
