This chapter is slightly longer...
"Where do I have to go?" Kai asked into an earpiece. He was running down an empty corridor.
"There's a right turn coming up, go left straight after that," Hilary told him confidently. She was using a laptop and had managed to hack the security system so she could see what the cameras could see with them being disabled to everyone else. She was sitting in one of the empty offices at Rhyla. "Be careful, there's a group of guards coming up behind you. They obviously want to know what happened to their computer system."
"Got it." Instead of turning right he turned left into a small gap in the wall. Which was just enough space to hide in. The guards ran round the corner and turned another corner.
"Targets are 30 meters, 40 meters. Targets out of range, all clear," she told him. She knew that he had gone. "On your left there should be a door with a security device on it, the code is 7953."
"What's the backup code?" he asked once he had typed them in.
"Legal connectivity," she told him. "Uppercase, no space." (It had letters beside the numbers on the panel)
"I'm in," he told her as he walked through the still-opening doors.
"There should be a device directly to your left on the wall," she continued. "Type in the code 7984253. The light should turn red and an alarm will go off. When you type it in get out of there as quick as possible."
"You don't trust me?" he asked as he did and, sure enough, an alarm went off. He quickly ran out of the room and towards the way he went in.
"Whatever," she told him. "Guards 15 metres behind and gaining."
"Emergency shutdown," he told her as he was still running.
"What? You're nowhere near…" she began.
"Just do it," he sounded very angry.
"Fine," she told him going quiet. "Emergency shutdown enabled. Doors will lock in five seconds."
Kai could now see the entrance door and it was closing, fast. He reached it and slid under it.
"Nice job," Hilary told him. Compliments from her were very rare... "I guess." … And always somehow contained the drawback. "Meet me back at Rhyla. End transmission." She then turned off and took out the earpiece. She then closed the laptop and walked out of the room with it under her arm.
'I'm gonna complain about this,' she thought to herself. 'Someone in tech should be doing this stuff, not me.'
As she walked down the corridor she heard footsteps running towards her from behind. She turned round to see who it was.
"Hi JJ, another operation already?" she asked curiously.
"Yes," he replied. "You and Kai are needed for what is possibly our biggest operation yet."
"Ok," she told him uncertainly. "Kai's just coming back now, he shouldn't be long."
"When he comes back both of you go to B1." (As in the other Fanfic it's where to go for operation briefings) He then walked off without another word. She was still confused but shook her head and went to the tech lab to put the laptop back.
'Kai's gonna be a while so I'll just go to the artillery range and practice my shooting. He'll know where to find me,' she thought to herself as she headed for B4.
Hilary scanned the wall until she found her sky blue gun. That was when she realised she had to go to get her upgrade. She glanced around until she found the head of artillery, Scott. He was doing something on a computer sitting at a desk so she knew he wasn't busy. He noticed her as she approached him and knew what she wanted.
"Ah, Hilary," he began and got up and walked towards a small pile of boxes looking for one in particular. He grabbed one and handed it to her. She opened it, and there it was, her brand new golden handgun with her name on it as her other one did, except there was a star either side of her name. It was noticeably lighter in weight. "You better try it out before you use it." Scott put the box in the bin next to him and Hilary handed him her old one.
She walked over to the firing range and loaded her new gun. She then began to practice her shooting. It was noticeably worse than before. Gradually her hand steadied and her aim improved.
When she ran out of ammo and went to get some more she finally noticed that Kai was standing there watching her. Instead of replenishing her ammo she instead put her gun where her old one used to be.
"How long have you be watching me?" she asked, confused.
"Not long," he told her. "Someone said we had to go for another mission."
"Yes," she replied and they both headed for B1.
An abrupt ending I know. Plz R&R!!!
