By eight the ball was well into full swing. Julie glanced around seeing
nothing but smiles and people laughing around her. She herself also smiled,
but not because of the ball. She excused herself from the group of business
people she'd been talking to with her grandfather and walked over to get
something to drink. She took a sip of water and glanced around the room,
she noticed Lily walking towards her and couldn't seem to hide her smirk.
"Excuse me." Lily said and reached around her getting a glass of wine.
Julie smiled slightly and turned her head catching an amused look from Meg.
"Problem ladies?" She heard Mitchell say and turned around just as he walked up.
"Whatever would give you that idea?" Julie asked and started to walk off. Just as she started past however she realized her dress was hung on something, or under someone's foot. This caused her to slightly jerk around and when she did she was met with a sea of red wine spilling down the front of her dress. Julie gasped and looked down at her dress in shock.
"Oh no she didn't!" Meg grumbled and started over before being pulled back by Daniel.
"And no you don't." Daniel answered pulling her back.
"But I do." Dean said walking over.
"Man I am so very sorry about that Julie." Mitchell said with a smile.
"Everyone already knows you're sorry." She spat out. He began to speak and she quickly silenced him, "Just shut up Mitchell, and get out of my way." She stated turning on her heel and headed up the stairs and out the door.
Dean stopped halfway there and looked between a laughing Mitchell and a storming off Julie. "I could so beat his ass right now and wouldn't have to worry about upsetting Jules." He thought and smiled wickedly. "Or I could go check on her." He added to his thought and groaned at it. "Never have any fun." He muttered softly and headed towards the stairs. He reached her bedroom and walked in looking around, in finding no sign of her he walked carefully into the dressingroom/bathroom area. He started to leave when he noticed the stained dress lying over in the corner.
"I do not have a good feeling about this." He muttered softly aloud to himself.
He walked back into the bedroom heading for the sitting room when he thought he saw movement on the balcony. He stepped towards the door carefully and slowly eased the door open and stepped out. He looked around for a few minutes then finally realizing nothing was out there he closed the door again and left.
"Close one." Julie sighed softly hanging over the edge of the balcony. She glanced down and tried to land quietly on the roof below. Once there she made her way over to the vines on the side of the house and shimmied her way down to the ground. She glanced around before jogging off quickly over the driveway and coming to a halt behind the garage. She waited a few minutes then pulled out a loose brick from the side and retrieved the car keys she'd hidden there that morning. She made a sprint towards the woods, ten minutes later she was behind the wheel and heading towards town.
She pulled in a block away from the office building, and killed the engine. She grabbed the small bag and kept a close eye and ear out as she walked along the alleyway. She reached the back exit and waited watching the camera slowly move around, once she was sure she was out of range she raced to the door and worked on the lock. She was running out of time and only just got it open when the camera started back her way. She leaped in and shut the door, quickly looking down the hallway.
"So far so good." She thought and glanced carefully around the corner and started down the hall. She tried a few doors and found nothing of interest in them. "Crap." She groaned when she reached the end of the hall. "Should have gone right." She turned around and headed back down the hall and paused by the door for a moment. Hearing nothing she went on, she tried the two doors on the short hall finding again nothing. She walked to the end of the short hall and carefully turned left again and eased past a janitor's door. She walked into another small office with two desks and rummaged threw stuff.
"Why am I even bothering to look here, if anything it would be in Mitchell's office." She sighed wiping her face.
She snuck out the door and jogged as softly as she could up the hallway towards the stairwell. She looked both ways down the hall before running across and pulling open the door. Being careful to stay silent she crept up the metal stairs as gently as she could. She kept glancing around for cameras but found none along her way. "How strange." She thought.
She made the fourth floor and found the door into the hall locked. Again she pulled out the little gadget she'd gotten and put it into place. She watched, as again in mere seconds the lock was popped open. She pulled back the gadget and smiled down at it, "I like this." She muttered. Surveying her surroundings she started forward when suddenly a hand closed over her mouth and an arm came around her waist, and pulled her back quickly into the stairwell again.
"Hush."
She froze at the voice placing it a minute then jerked the hand off her face and whirled around.
"For god's sake Dean what are you trying to do scare me to death?" She hissed.
"Yeah well welcome to my world. What the hell do you think you're doing?" He demanded.
"Just out for a leisurely stroll." She rolled her eyes.
"Very cute." He sighed.
"I'm trying to get some information I can use on Mitchell. Like you didn't know that already." She said softer.
"Yeah we knew." She glanced down seeing Daniel walking up the stairs.
"You told him?" She asked him.
"Some of it." Daniel nodded.
"You could have told me." Julie stated.
"You left too fast, and too early, I figured you would." Daniel smirked and she sighed again.
"Ok, fine so we are all here. Can we please get back to business?" She questioned.
"Sure but you almost screwed up." Dean commented.
"I did not." She retorted.
"Did too." Dean countered.
"Children please." Daniel warned.
"You did Jules." Dean spoke softly.
"How?"
He turned her around and pointed out the small window. "Look up." He whispered behind her. She glanced up and groaned silently and let her shoulders slump.
"Camera." She sighed. "I didn't see that one, stupidly I was only looking for the big ones. Not little ones like this." She said pulling a tiny camera out of the bag.
"Where did you get that?" Dean asked looking at the tiny camera in the palm of her hand.
"Later." She said then smiled. "Help me?" She asked.
"Help you what?" He questioned.
"Give me a boost, I need to place this camera up above the door." She said. "And Daniel you take this." She said handing him a small monitor from the bag. She took a small bit of the gum out of her mouth and placed it on the back of the camera.
"What no tape?" Dean taunted receiving a glare.
"Just stand there be nice and give me a boost will you?" She sighed and quickly was lifted up and put the camera in place. "It working?" She asked Daniel as Dean sat her back down.
"Like a dream. This is awesome." He smiled.
"I know ain't it great?" She giggled.
"You two need help." Dean shook his head.
"You're enjoying this, don't act like the adrenaline isn't flowing with you too." She wiggled her eyebrows at him and he smiled.
"Yeah well." He mumbled.
"Ok now, I wonder if the camera is like the one outside if it is then we'll have a thirty second window to get across the hall and out of sight. That is providing there isn't another one I'm missing." She said looking down the other end of the hall.
"It's like the other one, we should have a chance in a minute." Daniel said.
"How'd you know?" She asked surprised.
"You aren't the only sleuth around here." He winked.
"I feel so left out." Dean shook his head.
"Awe its ok honey." Julie smiled taking his arm and batting her eyes up at him.
"I really worry about you." He smiled as she lightly popped his arm.
"Ok guys get ready." Daniel said seriously and they nodded.
"Now." Julie whispered and as a team they shot across the hall and rested aginst the wall under the camera. Julie turned her head and glanced down the hall leading towards no doubt Mitchell's office. And this time she noticed something else.
"Crap."
"What kind of crap?" Daniel asked.
"I have a feeling laser crap." She groaned.
"Ah the joys of breaking into an office." Dean sighed.
"Hand me that bag." She said giving him a look.
He waited to see her pull out some strange contraption, what she did get out shocked him.
"This is not the time to check your makeup." He muttered.
"Yeah Jules." Daniel agreed and she groaned.
"Men." She muttered taking the compact over and stopping suddenly causing them to crash into her.
"Sorry." They whispered together and she shook her head then kneeled down. She opened the compact and turned it around then softly blew some of the powder out illuminating the tiny blue beams.
"See." She said softly.
"Very clever." Daniel smiled.
She reached in the bag and pulled out a little keychain looking thing and hit a button holding it towards the beams and waited. After a minute it beeped and she smirked, standing up and walking forward.
"You're starting to scare me with all this stuff Jules." Dean said and she smiled walking forward.
His door was unlocked when they reached it, she softly turned the knob and looked carefully inside. No cameras, no signs of lasers either. But she knew there was something in there somewhere.
"Ok now the fun part, I bet he's got alarms on the desk, cabinets and everything else." Daniel said looking around.
"I bet he doesn't." She said walking over and sitting down in the deskchair and pulling it open.
"Gezz Julie." Dean said almost too loud. "Now who's giving who the panic attack."
"It's fine. He's a lot smarter then he looks." She smiled taking out some papers. "Which is why we won't find anything in his desk." She said flipping threw the file and tossing it back.
"But where then?" Dean asked looking around.
"Behind the painting." Daniel said walking over.
"Too cliché." Julie muttered off in thought.
"Probley right." Daniel agreed.
"Ugh." She groaned and they glanced around at her giving her a questioning look.
"I smell like him now." She shook her head with her nose crumpled up in disgust, and jumped out of the chair.
"See there are worse things then smelling like an old locker room." Dean smirked.
"That's it!" Julie smiled.
"Did I miss something?" Dean asked.
"Locker room, a small room." She said glancing around wildly.
"I think she's gone over to the bad side." Dean said looking at her strangely.
"Or she's finally lost her mind." Daniel agreed.
"She is a goalie, you know they are a bit kooky." Dean nodded.
"Would you two shut up!" She snapped back at them. She heard them giggling softly behind her; "We'll see who's laughing in a minute." She thought and halted a moment and looked at a small statue of a dragon on the bookshelf across the room and smiled.
She ran past them and jumped up on the bottom shelf.
"What are you doing?" Daniel said walking up behind her so she didn't fall.
"Watch." She smiled and pulled the dragon slightly forward.
"Nothing." Daniel sighed and helped her down.
"Hello." Dean said slowly and they turned around seeing the wall with the painting on it slowly pop open.
"Bingo." Julie smirked and headed towards the door.
"I knew something was behind the painting." Daniel said firmly and smiled.
"Hum help." Julie said trying to pull the door open. It took the three of them but they got the door open.
"Me first." Daniel said walking in carefully with Julie and Dean close behind.
"It's just a empty room." Dean said looking around at the gray room.
"There has to be something." Julie said spinning around slowly. She glanced up and down trying to find anything.
"There." Dean pointed towards a panel in the corner.
Daniel leaned down and tapped softly on it. "Sounds hollow." He smiled.
"Here." Julie smiled grabbing the bag again.
"It's just like Christmas when you go in that bag." Dean laughed as she did.
"Try this." She said pulling out a flat metal bar.
"That's it? I'm disappointed." Daniel sighed.
"Hush." She said as he took it from her. She glanced down at the little monitor seeing nothing in the stair well. She punched a button and was shown another camera shot from outside the building.
"Gezz Jules how many did you put up?" Dean asked looking over her shoulder.
"Only four so far." She answered flipping to the other two.
"How did you not see us then?" He asked.
"Hum cause I stupidly forgot to look at the monitor?" She smiled up at him.
"Good thing it was us and not Mitchell." Dean shook his head.
"I know, man I hope he's still at the ball. I'm starting to get a bit scared." She said softly.
"We'll be ok." He said hugging her slightly with the arm around her shoulders.
"But I have a feeling Mitchell won't." Daniel said having pulled the panel back and showed them a set of three files. They each took one and went threw them.
"Oh god." Dean groaned and Julie and Daniel looked up.
"What?" Daniel asked.
"That thing did reproduce. My lord." He said with a sick look on his face.
"So the kid is his." Julie shuddered, "That's some information, but not good enough." She shook her head looking back threw the file. They nodded and went back to their files.
"Daniel look at this." She said moving over to his side. He glanced down at where she pointed.
"Humm." He said taking the file and looking closer.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Not sure." He answered deep in thought.
"Humm guys we have company." Dean said holding the monitor up showing two guards walking up the stairwell two floors down.
"Here." Julie said quickly pulling a little box out of the bag of goodies. "Hold that still." She said and started snapping away.
"She would have a tiny camera too." Daniel sighed.
"It comes with the spy starter kit." Dean smirked.
"Shut up you two." She said snapping a few more times, "Ok done. Let's get our of here and fast please." She said tossing everything back into the bag quickly. Daniel put the files back in place and they raced out the door. The boys pushed the wall back in place as Julie put the dragon back in place and looked at the monitor yet again.
"Come on I have an idea." Julie said sprinting out the door.
"Why do I get chills when she says that?" Dean asked of Daniel as they chased behind her.
"In here." She said grabbing their arms and pulling them inside the small closet. They waited watching the monitor as the guards got closer.
"Here they come." Daniel whispered as they opened the fourth floor door. They watched till they disappeared from the camera's sight. They sat silent listening to one of them walk by the door. They held their breath for several long minutes.
"Everything is secure this way." They heard one guard say walking back past the door.
"Secure this way also. " The other replied.
They watched seeing the guards once again on the monitor walking down the stairs.
"Let's go." Julie said getting up and pausing as the camera moved around then again they raced to the door and were safely inside the stairwell. They crept threw the rest of the building and soon found themselves racing away from the building.
"I'm parked a block away." Julie said pointing down the street.
"We're over here." Daniel said pointing behind a dumpster down another alley.
"Sure make me walk farther." She smirked.
"Go with her I'll met you back at the house." Daniel said racing towards the car.
Dean and Julie reached her car and quickly had it pointed back towards safety. He kept looking over at her watching her glance fearfully in the mirrors till she saw headlights behind her. She slowed down to make sure it was Daniel. The lights behind them flashed once and she finally smiled and relaxed. They pulled into the garage and killed the engines. They got out of the cars and all looked at one another then laughed.
"Ok now that we've totally done some serious spy work there's only one thing left to do." Julie smiled.
"What's that?" Dean asked.
"Get this flipping bad smell of wine and Mitchell the heck off me!" She stated and jogged for the door with them smiling in her wake.
"Excuse me." Lily said and reached around her getting a glass of wine.
Julie smiled slightly and turned her head catching an amused look from Meg.
"Problem ladies?" She heard Mitchell say and turned around just as he walked up.
