Brat-Kuza

C-2

     Chromo analyzes the building before stepping outside the unmarked vehicle, but Spidey hops out the driver seat to adjust his armour as he watches for any wandering eyes or unwanted foot traffic. He gives Chromo a nod for all clear and both men rush over to an alleyway between the warehouse and another building.

     "Careful", Chromo whispers and points on the other side of the alleyway, revealing a circular device resembling a camera over an entrance. "They might still be rolling. You have the silencer?"

     "Yea. Lemme see if I can take it out." Spidey unsheathes a standard pistol and a cylindrical device, attaching it to the end of the gun. He aims towards the camera, quickly side-eyeing if anyone is nearby. He sees a person walking past the exit, quickly retracting his weapon and motions Chromo to back down and hide. They wait for the silhouette to completely disappear before continuing their mission. Spidey comes out of his obscured spot, re-aims and shoots the camera, hiding again to make sure no one saw him. The former camera sparked out of commission.

     "I got it! Let's head in, stay strapped just in case someone's here." Chromo grabbed his pistol and followed Spidey closely behind and headed to the door. As Spidey tried to pick the lock, the door slowly swung open, as if the door wasn't locked in the first place. "I guess we can go in?"

     Chromo didn't look convinced that the door being unlocked was coincidental. "I don't trust it. We need to find another way."

     "We can't just look for another entrance. We're already tied for time, and I don't think there's any other entrance but this one."

     The men quickly head into the warehouse and separates to start searching, but Chromo still has a sour face, "That's convenient that we don't have any other entrances, don't you think?"

     "Level with me here, I understand that this is suspicious beyond comprehension, but we need to move quickly. We'll stick with each other and make sure we don't get our cheeks clapped, okay?" Spidey tries to smile at his partner while searching in multiple rooms and keeping his senses aware. "Oh hey, I found a work room! Lemme ping Hunnie so we can finish up and leave. Cover me while I get instructions."

     Chromo nods and cycles around the area, searching if there's any rooms undiscovered or any nearby people that may ambush. He finds a closed door. He tries to shove the door open, but the door swings open, noting that the door was never locked. Inside was a small storage with a few large black boxes lined with silver metal. Chromo isn't sure to open the boxes, but was curious to find out what was in it. He closes the door and heads to Spidey's room to check on his progress, "Have you got through and collected what we came for?"

     "Not yet, still getting instructions fro-"

     "Aye! Are you listening to me?!" Hunnie interrupted the brief exchange over a walkie-talkie device Spidey had on the table. "You guys have less than fives minutes or you two are toast and we're compromised!" This alarmed both men, Spidey quickly refocused and Chromo left the room to recirculate.

     Spidey clears his throat "Apologies. Quickly, what was the last thing we were on?"

     "Did you already enter in the command program the prompt I gave you?"

     "Yeah, there's a bit of info. What's the next step?"

     "Tell me what the serial line says. Should be the fifth line from the bottom of the text." Spidey finds the text and reads aloud the numbers shown. "Okay, that's all I need. Now get out of there NOW! LPD will arrive in three minutes! Make sure you talk to Chibi as soon as you get in the car!" Spidey wastes no time heading out the room, finds the entrance the men came from and rushes out of the warehouse. Adrenaline pumps water from his skin as he beelines for the vehicle he drove. He opens the door and slams it just as fast, turning the car engine on and simultaneously contacts Chibi.

     "CHIBI! Are you there? I need directions and fast!"

     Kzzt "Make a U-Turn and step on it! You have about a minute before the police hit your street!" Spidey doesn't hesitate and flees the scene. But his adrenaline dips into fear and dread, he notices his passenger seat was empty. His partner was still in the warehouse, now protecting an empty lot, soon to be swarmed with armed men. Spidey knew that he was going to have a PR nightmare by the time the mission was over.
