Kitsune, the Fox

She was trapped. A rat in a trap. But that did not do. She was Kitsune, the Fox, not allowing herself to be degraded to a simple rodent.

'I'm a Fox in a trap.'

She smirked. Much better. Now to get out of the trap. She was a hundred feet above a floor, pressure sensitive. If she didn't die from the fall, the machine gun traps would definitely leave a mark. On the floor.

She was losing her grip on the ceiling and she didn't know exactly when the cameras would go on a blitz. 'That's what happens when you put your life in others' hands.'

Suddenly, all the cameras turned in her direction. She clenched her teeth. Did the guards wake up already?

"What are you doing? I can only intercept the cameras for a few minutes!"

Kitsune gave a sigh of relief. "Next time, tell me what the cue is. You almost scared me off the ceiling."

She attached a hook on one of the beams on the ceiling. She slowly lowered herself closer to the ground. This was a bit too easy... she sprayed the air below her with mist. Thermal sensors. 'These guys just never give up.'

She tried looking for an opening, but all spaces were exactly the same size; approximately twelve inches wide and ten inches long. The sources of the beams were very nicely concealed. And the switch was key-activated at the security office. She was going to have to try to reach through one of the squares in the grid.

"That might not be a good idea."

She immediately pulled her hand back. "Why not?"

"They're not thermal detectors; they're a laser grid matrix. Anything that passes through it is instantly vaporized."

"Any other ideas then?"

"Nope but you better hurry. My control on the cameras won't last long."

Boy was she in a fix.

Experimentally, she dropped a quarter into the matrix. It was vaporized, but left a hole that closed up instantly. She got an idea.

"How much time do I have left?"

"About five minutes."

"Good enough." She quickly climbed up her line. With a small pocket laser, she cut a section of the beam, leaving a part strong enough to hold the section of the beam, but not strong enough to support any additional weight. She attached another hook to another beam on the ceiling. Once back on the level she was before, she pulled hard on her old line. The section fell and vaporized. "Now!" She dropped into the rapidly closing hole, grabbed the necklace, and climbed up just in time to have the tip of her shoe vaporize. "Damn, I liked these shoes."

"Worry about it later. You have thirty seconds to get out of there!"

"What? Only that much?"

"Maybe a little longer. I'm turning the cameras in the opposite direction."

Kitsune hurried up the line. Once at the top, she dropped it and it instantly disappeared once coming in contact with the grid. At the same moment, the cameras turned in the same direction she was a few seconds ago. "Damn that was close."

"Shut up! Do you want to get caught?"

"Stop talking to me. Do you want me to get caught?" She threw a glance at the cameras. All seven of them were looking straight at her. "Oh..."

"INTRUDER. ACTIVATE LEVEL ONE SECURITY DEFENSE SYSTEM." All the machine gun traps turned upwards and the laser grid started to rise.

"Any ideas Suu?" No response "Suu?" Static. "Dammit, it's jamming my radio, too."

She looked around frantically. Those machine guns didn't look friendly, especially since they looked ready to fire. And the grid looked awfully close.

"Well, first thing's first." She took about a .7mm handgun and took out the cameras. She guessed that the machine guns, not being able to see now, had thermal sensors. She lit several flares, stuck them to the ceiling and set them off. After that she took out her handy pocket laser and cut a hole out through the ceiling. The tip of her other shoe was shaved off.

"Suu, you there?"

Static, but barely audible. "Wha.....hap....bac...ere...?"

"I need a pick up now."

"I....ge....thri.....mi...."

"No! I need one now!" She heard footsteps climbing up the stairs to the roof. "Never mind, I'll make my own exit." Burly men in black suits knocked down the doors. "Stop!" Kitsune took a jumping leap off the building.
