Chapter Four: Discoveries
Li could have cried out in relief when she heard Paulo's voice through the radio. Grabbing the radio from her belt she answered quickly 'Paulo? What happened? Where are you? Are you alright?' Hex glanced up from the computer screen, relief plain on his face before getting back to work plugging in his palmtop and downloading information onto it. 'Is Amber ok?' he asked, trying not to let concern into his voice. Li repeated the question to Paulo.

Paulo stood looking down at Amber. She was shaking and looked quite pale. He crouched down and pointed to the bag at her waist. She looked confused and then nodded gratefully. Taking out a chunky coloured pen from the bag she injected herself with insulin. The shock had affected her more than she thought.
'We are both fine Li.' He grinned at the thought of the pretty Anglo-Chinese girl being concerned about him. 'Thank you for shutting off the security system. You have very good timing.'
Behind him Amber stood up and reached for the small video camera clipped to her belt. With a small bleep she turned it on. Looking around the room at the boxes filled with weapons and explosives she began filming. 'This should make the government see what this organisation is really about' she whispered to herself. Switching off the radio, Paulo walked into the video shot and opened one of the crates. 'Dios mio… they haven't spared any expense. Look at these Amber.'

Alex crept into the dark room, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. It was cold in the room; a breeze was coming from one of the distant corners. 'Must be a window in here.' he thought. Gradually shadows began to take the form of objects a table, chair, bookcase. He could faintly see the open window in the far right hand corner but there were no curtains.
Alex moved forward silently, cautious of any alarm system although he knew that Hex would have disabled it by now. Reaching the desk he glanced over the surface. Nothing. Alex almost swore with frustration but caught himself just in time. He had to stay as quiet as possible. Moving swiftly to the bookcase he looked at the numerous files and folders which filled its shelves.
He grinned to himself as he saw a folder leaning at an angle on one of the higher shelves. Someone had obviously replaced it in a hurry and a piece of paper was sticking out. It had a government logo on. Alex picked the folder up and looked inside, before turning to leave, taking the folder with him.
'I don't think that's a good idea'
