Sydney and Irina pulled around to the back of Cuvee house, or mansion in other terms. Sydney was the first to get out of the car and walked over to the wall which surrounded the house. Irina followed shortly after with the climbing gear, passing one of them to Sydney she proceeded to put her harness. While Sydney was placing hers on she asked Irina.

"Are you sure that this is the best route for us? You know Cuvee, surely you could walk up too the door and he would let you in?"

"Well ever since Kashmir , we haven't been on good acquaintances, he doesn't take lightly that I would double cross him for you and Jack" Irina said while shooting the grappling hook to the top of the wall. Sydney shot hers up soon after and proceed to climb up the wall.

They reached the bottom of the other side when Sydney noticed the two guards coming towards, she swiftly pulled out her gun and tranq darted them.. Sydney walked over to one of the security cameras and placed one of Marshall's invention on to it.

Sydney activated her comm and proceeded to say "Base camp. This is Mountaineer. Equipment is in place. Requesting cut to security system."

"Mountaineer. This is base camp. All received. Cutting the feed now, you have 15 minutes" Marshall replied

"Base Camp. All received" Sydney replied and then cut the comm..

"So Mom, are you exactly sure where the statue is located."

"Yes. Very clear, I remember him showing it to me, just wished I knew then how important it is."

Sydney and Irina run across the lawn quickly and easily gained access to the house.

Sydney quipped under her breath "All these great international terrorists and none of them can invest in a decent lock"

"What did you say?" Irina

"Nothing"

Irina run up the stairs with Sydney close behind. The proceeded to the library and easily located the statue. Sydney activated her comm. "Base Camp. This is Mountaineer. Have acquired target and are on the way home."

"This is Base Camp. All received. See you soon."
