Hey. Thanks tigster5 for all reviews. At least I know that you're following the story.
Chapter 8: Sneaking
"We're at the top of the waterfall," Alex informed the troops on the boat.
"Great, it's only one a.m.," Wolf said. "So you have about five hours of night cover and then you'll have to be extra careful then."
Alex walked on leading the way. They were walking through jungle. It was difficult terrain. They were force to travel slowly as not to leave a trail. Alex checked his navigational device every now and then to make sure that he was heading toward the mansion. It took them until three to reach the mansion.
When they got there they saw that the mansion was being guarded. They circled the mansion to count how many guards there were and see where they were positioned.
They counted ten total.
"Hey, Wolf. How long are they knocked out when I shoot them with a tranquilizer bullet?" Alex asked.
"About twelve hours. Why?" he replied.
"Nothing I just got a plan on how to get into the house without an uprising." The guards were not walking around in circle. So if one went down quietly. No one would notice. Then Alex moved around the back of the house where there was only one soldier and one door. He shot the soldier with the tranquilizing bullet and waited until he collapsed. Then they both walked up to him and examined him. Then they dragged him into the woods and sneaked up to the door. It wasn't locked so they let there selves in and found themselves in the kitchen. Alex had a piece of paper out and was making a map of everything he saw. They moved into the next room and saw a staircase. Alex wrote everything down before making his way to the stairs. When they reached the bottom of the stairs though the heard something. Someone was coming down the hall upstairs and about to come down the steps. Alex and Emily hid behind a chair. The guy that walked down seemed to be in his mid-thirties. He was only wearing shorts. He had fair hair and an athletic body. Alex thought that he might actually be Mr. Smith. He walked into the kitchen. He went in the refrigerator and got something out. He heated it up and sat down and started eating it. Alex motioned for Emily to follow him. He decided that the idly way to search the upstairs was when he was down here. They made a brake for it. They sneaked upstairs, but found nothing. The vault had to be either outside the house or in the basement. They were heading downstairs when he started come up. They hid in a closet. After he passed they went down stairs. They found the basement in a hurry and went downstairs. Bingo. At the bottom of the steps was a steel door with a fourteen number slash letter combination. Alex scribbled it all on his map. But when the turned to go back up the steps they saw a guard standing there just watching them. Alex quickly shot him with a dart. He dropped like a rock. But it was too late, the alarm had gone off.
