A/N: As promised, I'm back! I'm currently working on one of my other stories at the moment (Remembering the Rules) but I know how I want this to go so I'll go ahead and post it. Enjoy!
Chapter 11: Dinner…or Danger?
The next morning at the breakfast table, Stefan was running through a checklist for equipment with Ditto. Cosmo, Mona, and Jenna listened quietly.
"So you're sure everything is there?"
"Yes," said Ditto.
Stefan, Cosmo, Jenna, and Mona were each carrying a cell phone and other various communications equipment.
Once they were sure everything was there they left the table to do whatever they wanted. They knew each other were nervous, but didn't say anything. The four basically waited until around 2pm, which at this time Jenna and Mona left to get ready.
Cosmo was confused. "What do they need 3 hours for?"
Stefan looked amused. "Beats me," he said.
The two of them left a while later to get ready as well. Around 5:15, the four walked into the kitchen, dressed and looking fancy. Mona was wearing the red dress and had curled her hair, and Jenna was wearing the blue dress with her hair in a bun. Stefan Cosmo were both wearing the tuxedos.
Jenna had to admit to herself, Stefan really did look very handsome. He cleaned up very well. His black hair fell nicely in front of his dark eyes. She found it hard to believe that he was going with her. Then again, she reminded herself, they were on a mission.
Ditto passed out the communications equipment. After they were all ready to go, Ditto waved goodbye and they walked out to the pigmobile. As usual, Mona drove, with Cosmo beside her and Stefan and Jenna in the back. It was a short drive to Myishi, and as Mona pulled into the parking lot Stefan reviewed the plan one more time.
"Okay, you three. Here's how it goes: We walk in. Everyone will be milling about. At 6, we will go onto the dance floor and dance with everyone. Faustino starts her speech at 6:30. When she does, Jenna and I will slip up to Faustino's office. Cosmo and Mona, you'll keep watch. Anything dangerous or suspicious, text us and we'll get out of there. Clear?"
The other three nodded. It was a simple plan, but it could become dangerous in the blink of an eye.
The four walked to the entrance, with Jenna on Stefan's arm and Mona on Cosmo's. They presented their fake I.D. and were seen inside without trouble. The dance floor was already open. Cosmo looked at Stefan.
"Now?" Cosmo asked.
Stefan nodded.
They proceeded onto the dance floor. The band was playing a slow ballroom dancing song. Trying to remember how to dance this type, Jenna thought quickly. Stefan seemed to notice this. "Just follow my lead," he said quietly.
Jenna took his hand and they began to dance. Stefan put his other arm around her waist, while Jenna put hers around his neck. She relaxed, concentrating on her dancing. It was thankfully a simple dance, so she remembered what it was.
"Remember?" whispered Stefan.
"Yeah," Jenna replied. She was impressed. Stefan was a very good dancer. She wouldn't expect him to be that type.
Stefan looked at his watch. It was 6:10. "Twenty minutes," he said in a low voice. Jenna nodded.
They continued to dance until Stefan looked at his watch again. "6:28," he said. "Let's go."
They walked to the side of the room, where Cosmo and Mona were waiting. People were already filing into the next room for Faustino's speech. The four nodded at each other. There was nothing more to be said. Stefan and Jenna silently walked up the steps.
They walked along the first corridor and turned into the second, when they heard footsteps. Frantically they searched for a hiding place, but then a voice said "Hey! Who's there?"
It was a guard. He was increasing his pace towards Stefan and Jenna. Stefan then noticed a closet. He pushed Jenna inside of it. "Stay there," he whispered.
Jenna opened the closet door in time to watch Stefan punch the guard in the head. The guard was instantly knocked out and crumpled to the ground without a sound.
Jenna walked over to Stefan. She helped him carry the guard over and put him in the closet. "Let's go," she said.
They continued the rest of the way to Faustino's office. They weren't surprised to find that the door was unlocked. The walked in, locking the door behind them.
Faustino's computer, as suspected, was passworded. Jenna sat down in the chair and starting working. Stefan handed her a cd disk from inside his jacket, and then watched patiently over her shoulder.
Jenna put the cd disk in the computer. It was a special disk for breaking into passworded objects. It ran over 3,000 possible passwords a second.
17 seconds later, access was granted and the password was found. Jenna started looking on the computers for anything of suspicion. After a few minutes of poking around, she came to a locked file. Using the password cd, she opened it.
At this moment, Stefan's cell phone vibrated. It was a text message from Mona and it was very short: PULL OUT- FAUSTINO UPSTAIRS.
Stefan turned to Jenna. "We need to go- now."
Jenna saw the urgent look in his eyes and nodded. She quickly scanned the file and found what she was looking for. Committing the data to memory, she ejected the cd and turned off the computer.
She followed Stefan out into the corridor. They heard Faustino approaching. Jenna remembered the closet from before and pulled Stefan inside. She hoped Faustino hadn't heard. The footsteps became closer until they were right outside the closet. Then the footsteps stopped.
A/N: Suspenseful, I know! But lots of reviews and I'll update soon!!!
