Shadow

Chapter 3

I walk out to breakfast sitting down next to Tilly. We eat and Zach comes in later, looking at me before going to the other side to Tilly. Tilly looks at him before turning back to me with a huge smile on her face.

"So, word is they have a mission."

I take a sip from my cup, "and it will be given to someone else."

"Nope."

"And how do you know that?"

"Because... I am the one who gets it which means that you will too... and sadly Zach will be joining us for this one."

"I am sure it won't be that bad."

Tilly raises an eyebrow at me, "you two can barely get along."

"What makes you say that."

She gets up, "you two act like lovers who fight a lot... now let's go. I am sure Zach heard everything I said."

We go out and get ready. We make it to the building and I look at it with a frown. Nothing like needing to get in there without the gang knowing but we brought one of the loudest people. Shasha made a last-minute addition to the group. So now it is Tilly, Zach, me, and May.

I look back at May to find her talking to Zach, "did we have to bring her?"

"Shasha said so, I didn't feel like arguing with her. I am sure it won't be that bad."

I look over at Tilly, "you may not be able to see it but I am frowning."

She looks at me, "oh I know... I am pretty sure Zach is too."

I walk over to the door and pick the lock. I get up and slowly open the door, walking in as quietly as possible. We get in and manage to make it to the room without anything happening. I watch Zach walk over to the computer to get the files as the rest of us make sure that no one is coming. I watch May walk over to the hallway, looking down it before going to a room.

Tilly comes over to my side, "make sure she doesn't trip an alarm."

"No problem." I walk to the room and find her going to touch something, I grab her arm, "not a good idea."

She looks up at me, "and how do you know that?"

I look back at it, "one of the only places that haven't been cleaned for a while."

She pulls her hand back when I let go, "I wasn't planning on touching it anyways."

I watch her walk to the door before walking out, going back to Tilly and Zach, "how much longer? Mrs. Sticky Fingers is getting antsy."

Zach doesn't look up, "maybe five more minutes... keep her away from anything she might touch."

I look to Tilly and she stares at the door, "guys... I think it is too late for that."

I turn around and glare at May, she is holding what I stopped her from grabbing, "you didn't."

"I don't see what you are worried about. Nothing-"

We hear footsteps and I take the object from her running to put it back to how it was and getting to the room. I shut the door and get to the desk just as it slams open. I turn around and without hesitating Tilly and I go to take care of it while Zach gets the drive to get out of here.

The man I was dealing with hits the floor hard and I turn around just in time to stop a punch. I look at the woman before twisting her arm behind her back and pull out a dart. I let her go and run over to the window, jumping out. I get to the top of the building and look at Zach.
