The vision of the guards as they patrolled the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia ground was bright red as Cyclops in black fatigues with a black eye patch over his right eye peered through the night vision lens of his sniper rifle. He watched until they had passed by then spoke in to his communication device.

"Gambit, you're all clear."

"Copy that, mon ami."

Gambit removed his bag from around his shoulder and laid it on the ground where he was crouched down behind some bushes. He removed a device from his bag that he sealed to the window to disrupt the alarms. He removed his lock picking tools then proceeded to open the window quickly and quietly. Once he had entered the Embassy, he looked around cautiously before he proceeded to the door, which he opened and looked out. He saw that all was clear and he entered into the hallway. He stuck close to the walls as he used his black fatigues to blend into the shadows as this part of the Embassy was closed down at night.

"Cyclops, I'm in"

"Roger that, Gambit."

As he made his way through the Embassy, Gambit stopped at various intervals where he placed little round metallic balls with a glowing red light atop them down on the ground. As he placed the last of the metallic balls on the ground, he heard a sound that came from behind him. Gambit turned quickly to see a guard whose hand went for his gun. Wasting no time, Gambit pulled a razor sharp playing card from his bag then threw it at the guard. He watched with glistening eyes as the card sliced his neck and the guard fell to the ground dead.

"What was that, Gambit? I heard a disturbance on your end."

"Just a guard, Cyclops. He has been neutralized," Gambit said as he retrieved his playing card and dragged the guard's dead body to a nearby broom closet where he left the body.

"Be careful, Gambit. "

"You know me, mon ami."

"That's what worries me."

Finally, the Cajun thief has reached his destination and he quietly opened the door. As he removed the small flashlight from his bag, he scanned over the room. He saw a desk, chairs, a couch, and some pictures lined the wall. He found the picture that he wanted and removed it from the wall. Behind the portrait, there was a safe and Gambit smiled to himself.

"Remy, this must be your lucky day."

He turned the knob 24 right, he turned again 13 left, he turned once more 5 right, he then tried to open the safe and nothing happened.

"Damn it, Cyclops they have changed the combination."

"Do you think you can still get in, Gambit?"

"What kind of thief would I be if I could not?"

As Gambit went to turn the knob once more, the lights came on in the room.

"What are you doing there?"

To be continued.
