"Alright, you have a ninety second gap in the patrols, make your move," A soft male voice said over Alex's earpiece.
"Alright, making my move… now," Alex replied, and he dropped to the floor from the air vent he had been hiding in. He pushed himself up, his long brown hair bouncing slightly, his wrap around glasses reflecting the artificial light. He slid over the door, touching the top of his sunglasses as he did so. Inside, the glasses scanned the door, the details popping up around it in green writing, certain areas highlighted and other areas were increased in focus.
"It's a triple glass plate steel bolt mechanism," Alex muttered into his cheek mike, "I won't have enough time to pick this. Gallade! Need your psychic on this door lock, stat!"
The swordsman Pokémon dropped down next to Alex, its elbow blades extended. Its red eyes glowed for a few seconds, and then there were three loud clunks and the three bolts slid out of the doorframe.
"Alright, maybe next time I should give you a challenge," Alex said, pushing the door open slightly, "Lucario, we need you to clear the room for us!"
The Aura Pokémon landed next to Gallade and closed its eyes, using its aura to detect and signs of life. It soon opened its eyes and nodded at Alex.
"Big Momma, this is baby bird, mission is a go, and we do have coffee," Alex said into his cheek mike.
"What are you on Alex?" the male voice asked, the sound of humour playing on his slightly annoyed tone, "I'm pleased you can still have your humour on missions like these, but you have ten seconds until the next patrol. Get your arses into that room!"
Alex, Lucario and Gallade dived into the room and Alex pushed the door closed, making it look like it hadn't been tempered with. The only problem now was it was pitch black. Alex reached up and tapped the side of his glasses, and suddenly, they showed up in the eerie green glow of night vision.
"Alright gang," Alex muttered, "We need to find the package." Lucario and Gallade nodded. Gallade was sensing its surroundings with its psychic, and Lucario was using its Aura. Alex could have used his own aura, but it was an energy drainer.
"It should be in the centre of the room, in some form of protective case," the male voice said into his ear. Alex looked towards the centre of the room, and sure enough, there was a rather large metallic pole, from floor to ceiling. The only thing that was odd was that there was a number pad on it.
"Okay Brandon," Alex said, "It looks like a simple code lock. I'm going to use a light for this."
"The code should be a simple 4555-9876," Brandon said, "You only have another ninety seconds until your escape window opens"
"We'll be gone by then," Alex smiled, tapping his glasses twice on the leg, so the night vision turned off and a pen light popped out of the arm, lighting up the area he was looking at. He punched in the code, and with a soft hiss, the pole opened in the middle, moving apart from each other only a little way. What it held within was nothing more than a memory stick.
"Well, that's not much of a prize," Alex said, picking the stick up and looking at it in the light, "Ah well, beggars can't be choosers, let's get outta here." Lucario and Gallade nodded in agreement, and they both headed towards the door. Alex turned off the light and slid over to the door also.
"Wait! I almost forgot," He moved back over to the open pole, and slipped a small coin where the flash drive once was. "Couldn't forget that,"
"Alex, thirty seconds,"
"Yeah yeah, I know," Alex muttered. He and the two Pokémon snuck out into the hall way and clambered back into the air vent, not before Gallade re-sealed the door with another soft clunk. A slow crawl later, the air vent went vertical. A piece of rope was dangling in the middle of it. Gallade and Lucario climbed up it, followed by Alex, all the way to the roof.
Alex clambered out of the Air vent, to see a black Charizard standing in front of the vent entrance, its tail blazing. Alex returned Galled to its poke ball as Lucario climbed onto Charizard's back.
"Charizard, take off," Alex said, "I'll catch you in the dive." Charizard flapped its wings and with a roar, dived off the edge of the sky scraper. Alex ran forward, drawing a silver Desert Eagle pistol from a back holster, and he jumped over the edge.
Alex counted the floors that were going past, until about the twenty-first floor he shot past he snapped his gun up, and diving head first past the window, made the shot. The bullet left the gun, smashed through the window, and made its journey to the fire alarm system. As soon as it hit the alarm, the bullet disintegrated, and the alarm went off. Alex holstered his pistol, and Charizard pulled alongside him. Alex manoeuvred over to it and crouched on its back. Charizard spread its wings and they pulled out of the dive, flying away from the lone skyscraper in the middle of the mountain range.
