"With our luck, there'll be a million guards at the dungeons when we get there," Mariana whispered as they jogged down the hallway. Caireen had connected her laptop to the main network just in case there was anything she had forgotten to turn off.
"Caleb!" Mariana whisper shouted as he stopped and looked at a door.
"I found something useful!" Caleb whisper shouted back. Mariana walked over. The sign on the door said 'key room'. Mariana tried for the door. As expected, it was locked.
"Caireen, is the lock electronic?" Mariana asked.
"No, but surely we can pick it from learning in class," Caireen answered.
"What if there are people in there?" Mariana asked.
"I turn on the cameras on my computer," Caireen said clicking on things, "Nope, get picking,"
Marc walked up to it, and sighed, studying the lock for 30 second before pulling a knife he took from the shroud and attempting to bend the blade in half but failing. Caleb bent it for him and handed it back. Marc bent the edge back, and slid it in the lock. The lock popped open and the door opened. Mariana, Caireen, Caleb and Marc walked into the key room. All of the keys were labeled.
"Crap, which cell are they in?" Caleb asked.
"Checking..." Caireen said, tapping at the laptop keyboard, "Cell 3," Caleb picked up the key, and everyone followed him out the door. They silently crept through the dark hallway where Caireen disabled the lights. Suddenly, there were footsteps up ahead.
"Hey! Who's there!" The guard shouted.
"Its Operative Pelton's daughter and i'm with my friends," Mariana shouted back. The guard turned on his flashlight and pointed it at them.
"Okay," the guard said. "What're you doing?" He asked.
"Looking for my moms office," Mariana lied.
"I can show you there," the guard offered.
"Nah, we're capable, thanks though," Mariana said. The guard nodded and walked away.
"These guards are dumbasses," Caireen whispered once the guard was far enough away. Marc giggled quietly.
"The dungeon," Mariana whispered, pointing at the 2 wooden doors in front of them with the sign 'DUNGEON' above them.
"Let's go," Caireen said, and they opened the doors, walking in. A guard was at a desk.
"Hey, we wondering if you could let us in?" Caleb asked, before jabbing the flesh behind the guards ear, knocking him unconscious.
"Okay, lets move, fast," Mariana said, and to walked to cell 3. Marc slid in the key and opened it up.
"Hi," Marc said.
"What on earth are you doing?" Dr. Nero asked the students in front of him.
"Saving you," Mariana answered.
"How did you get here?" Nero asked suspiciously.
"We escaped H.I.V.E in a Shroud and then flew here and infiltrated the building and came to save you guys," Mariana answered.
"So you're the first students to escape then?" Nero asked.
"Yes, under good reason," Mariana replied.
"Uh, we should go..." Caireen said.
"Yeah, let's go!" Shelby said.
"We should split up, so we're not so... Big," Caleb said. They decided to have one of each type in each group: someone to watch your back, a good infiltrator, and a techno advanced person. Laura, Wing and Marc went together, Otto, Raven and Mariana went together, and Caireen, Caleb, Shelby and Nero went together.

"Shh," Wing said to Marc, who was laughing at something Marc said. Laura had taken the laptop of the guard who Caleb knocked out and was hooked up to the network.
"Wing, there is a guard up ahead," Laura said. Wing nodded and walked up the corridor, knocking a man unconscious before joining Marc and Laura on their walk up the corridor.

"I bet we're first," Otto said as Raven took out one more guard and they stepped oytside.
"When are we not?" Raven asked him with a smile.
"Exactly," Otto said, returning the smile.
"And we're the only ones not hooked up to the network," Raven said, and her and Otto high fived.
"Guys!" Caireen said as she and Shelby ran out of the building.
"Where's Nero and Caleb?" Raven asked.
"They got captured! With Wing, Laura and Marc!" Caireen said.
"Are they still inside?" Raven asked, taking out her katanas.
"No, they said they were being taken to the Ostar Base," Caireen said.
"Can you find the coordinates on your computer?" Raven asked.
"Yeah, its still loading," Caireen said.
"Well where is your Shroud parked?" Raven asked.
"A field about 3/4 of a mile from here," Caireen answered.
"Great, let's go," Raven said, walking to a car nearby and smashing a window in the back seat, and opening the door. She climbed into the front and quickly hot wired the car.
"Get in," she said, opening all of the doors. Caireen, Shelby and Mariana climbed into the back, while Otto climbed into the passenger seat.
"Okay, direct me where to go," Raven said.
