Sasuke's POV
I'm running as fast as my legs can carry me with the wind at my back. I feel the breeze lift me up off my feet, relieving all pressure, making me run even faster. The rain is pouring down, filling my eyes with a blur. Thankfully I know exactly where the shack is, I don't need to see to know where I'm going. I just hope I get there before they do.
The grass hisses as the legs of my pants brush against it. I whip around a few trees and boom, I'm there. Thankfully the search team has quite a ways to go. I have time to remove the chest and get it to safety. I reach for every piece of paper and quickly put it into the chest, closed the lid, and locked it.
I stood up, grabbed the chest, wrapping my fingers around the bottom and left that shack with no time to spare. The search team was close, too close for comfort. But without knowing, I mistakenly left out piece of paper. It must have been stuck to the bottom of the chest as I picked it up, and fluttered down, hitting the floor just as the search team broke in. I didn't stand around waiting for them to find me either, I had to leave it there...for them to find. I just hope it has no valuable information.
I sit there, leaning against the dark, splintery backside of the shack, just waiting for them to yell, "I found something!"
But that moment never came, they eventually just left. Though, I did here one man say, "This shack must be the wrong one, there is nothing here. Or maybe he was lying." I got lucky.
From that moment on, I knew it was safe. I knew that I could come out from behind the shack, and return everything I took out, every thing that isn't important that is. I set the chest down and took out everything. I slowly removed the wood cover that hid the letters. I reached down, and grabbed each letter, while shoving them into my pockets. At that moment I realized that I was lucky, but maybe too lucky.
I suddenly began to hear voices...again. They're back, but for what? But my question was answered. "I believe we missed something. I just wanna go look and make sure it was worth looking." The soldier struts into the front door and just slowly glances around, and leans forward to take a better look at something, the chest; I slipped out the door behind him. "Hey! I think I found something!" He yells out while raising his voice. He found the chest.
