Bentley's floor - They stood in the lonely hallway of the 3rd floor, with no one in sight they headed quickly and silently to the stairs. Sly suddenly stopped and pointed ahead, old Jim could be heard snoring in the distance. They couldn't tell whether he was near the stairs, this was going to be tricky. Bentley pulled out his small sketch of the plans and showed them Old Jim would be right at the stairs but if they moved quickly and quietly then he wouldn't bat an eyelid .. hopefully. To help even the odds Sly whispered to Bentley and Murray "if I can sneak around him and cause a small distraction then you guys will find it easier to sneak past" Bentley ofcourse had immediate doubts "b-b-but Sly if you do that you'll put yourself at a major risk are you absolutly sure?". Sly nodded and quickly headed around the corner Bentley gasped only to be reassured by Murray who helped him move on. With a strong gulp of courage Bentley poked his head around the corner his fears were relieved by Sly safely behind Old Jim with a signal. Bentley and Murray quietly backed up as loud crashing was heard round the corner. Sly had hidden under a table as Old Jim towered above examining the area there was no sign of any damage it was too dark. As Jim was looking for any clue of what just happened his back was turned which gave Sly, Bentley and Murray just enough time to get there heads below the landing and out of sight. As Bentley had predicted Old Jim was too lasy to look into it or warn any other janitors and he went back to sleep on his old rocking chair. "phase one complete" said Bentley with a smile and they quickly moved down the next floor.

2nd Floor - Sly surveyed the janitor below him, it was Karl the new guy. As Bentley already knew he'd be working all night for extra wages. His patrol pattern was pretty easy he was just walking in circles.
Without hesitation the three waited till his back was turned and then moved out. All was going well until Murray caused a loud creak in the floor Sly immediatly dragged himself and the other two back up the stairs and out of sight. Karl has heard the creak and being incredibly paranoid was checking the area for at least five mintues all the while the gang had to stay very still and quiet.
Eventually Karl had given up his small search and moved back to where he began. The gang now cautious of their footsteps quickly moved along sticking to the soft spots. They'd just managed to get around the corner as Karl turned around. Things were getting pretty tense "we have to move now" cried Bentley "move move move" Murray ordered as the gang tried to get as far as possible in little time. It was too late Karl's shadow could be spotted from the distance and the stairs was too far away, thinking fast Sly hid behind the chest in the hallway Bentley and Murray quickly followed and waited as Karls footsteps died down again. Sly poked his head around the chest and then signalled Bentley and Murray to leg it. They managed to make it to the next stairs and again below the landing and out of sight. The three panted and took a moment to get their breath back Bentley checked his watch it was 10:26 PM the night was still young.

1st Floor - The lanky janitor strolled slowly back and forth below the small trio, Sly watched his pattern carefully then prepared to move foward signaling the gang to too. "One at a time" he whispered ready to run, slim Jon (the janitor) had his backed tuned in a blink Sly legged it around the corner and out of sight. Bentley gasped and quietly got up ready to catch up to Sly, he spotted Sly's thumbs up and began to move out, all was going well until he made a loud creak in the floorboard, he didn't have enough time to run and Jon spotted him straight away with his flashlight "ok you little tyke wait until Ms. Puffin finds out about you" Bentley immediatly began begging "please" he cried only to be laughed at by Jon, Sly didn't know what to do the plan was going terribly wrong until Murray dived out from the staircase "HEY" he shouted. As Jon turned round he was met with a sharp smack in the jaw and fell flat out on the floor. Sly quickly looked around for anyone who may of heard the noise "Ok guys we'll put him in the cuboard and move on", Murray still impressed with his strength carried Jon all by himself and threw him into the cuboard, Bentley still shaken checked his watch it was 10:30, Murray patted him on the back "it'll be okay buddy" he reassured him "we better hurry up, come on Sly" and all three of them quickly legged it to the stairwell lobby.

Ground Floor - This was it the final floor awaited them, it was a good thing Murray had knocked out slim Jon the team of guards made up of Lefty and Ned were also checking the stairs with their torches it would of been impossible to evade all three janitors at the same time. Bentley got the gang in a huddle "Okay guys heres the situation, the way to the kitchen is heavily guarded by those two down there plus we'll have to sneak into Ms. Puffin's office without waking her or being spotted by them two, i'm afraid its the only way to the kitchen", Sly nodded "tight plan little buddy" Murray smiled. "Thats Ned" Bentley pointed "hes keeping an eye on the stairs, sorry to say it but I have no idea how were going to get by him", Sly smiled "don't worry see his light? it keeps flickering that means A) his lights going out and B) he'll move away from his position giving us a brief moment to move past him. Bentley nodded and they braced themselves. Ned's light flickered once, then again, then repeatdly until the bulb went. "Hold on Lefty" he called down the lobby hall "i'm just replacing the batteries in my torch", the gang got up and moved quickly Ned was fast they didn't have enough time to make it to the next point, thinking fast Sly dived in a bin! Bentley slid under a table and Murray hid behind the reception's desk. Once Ned had gone back to his spot and had his back turned to the gang they moved from their hidings spots and began creeping over behind the sofa. "Okay Leftys just around the corner" Bentley informed "there should be enough random furniture to sneak under his nose in there". Sly poked his head around the corner Lefty was sweeping the floor Sly went first he needed to unscrew the airvent leading into Ms. Puffins room before Bentley and Murray could sneak over. He went behind another sofa then under a table nearly near the airvent Sly stayed very still, Lefty was right above him yawning he was dawdling and standing around much to irratance of Sly. Sly took the time to get the screw driver out of his pocket while he waited for Lefty to hurry up and move. Lefty finally began to move and Sly braced himself to unlock the vent, he nearly had a heart attack when Murray came up behind him and patted him on the back he whispered to him "thought you might like some help lowering the airvent down". Sly began to unscrew the vent, he dropped the nails down to Murray. Bentley began to sneak over to there position he couldn't help but think about what he was getting into, maybe these guys would be alright and not like the average thug, he fell into his thoughts as he approached Sly and Murray as they lowered the vent down. "Okay guys i'll give you two a boost but i'll need a hand getting up" Murray said grabbing Sly and throwing him up into the vent followed by Bentley. They needed to quickly pull up Murray it was a wonder he could fit in the airvent. Sly moved on and began unscrewing the nails to Ms. Puffin's office they were nearly in.

Bentley peered into the room below him, Ms. Puffin hadn't gone sleep in her en suite like they were hoping she had fallen alseep at her desk, the keys to the kitchen were just next to her this was going to be tricky. Murray lowered Sly down as Sly was holding the air vent. Bentley and Murray waited in the vent as Sly crept towards the desk moving perfectly in sync with Ms. Puffin snores, it drowned out the creaks in the floor boards quite well. Not moving inch closer Sly used his cane to grab the key ring, carefully he brought them over to him trying to stay as quiet as possible. Bentley and Murray clambered out of the air vent as Sly finally unlocked the double door way leading into the kitchen. Murray licked his lips as the three entered the kitchen to begin the well deserved feast.
