Chapter 9:

The Tracking Device

It had started to get dark when we had parked by the FBI building. We needed to wait until it was darker so we could steal the tracking device better. Kankuro doesn't even know why we need him to help us steal one (go to chapter 2 to find out why)!

Once it got dark enough, we went to the east side of the building where they controlled the security. "Why are we here?" I asked, not seeing the giant printed letters that said: SECURITY on the door in front of me (it's dark so give me some credit).

Kakashi pulled out a laptop and hooked it up to the control panel. "We someone to hack into their system and shut down all the security," he explained.

Reiya automatically jumped to the laptop at the sound of the word "hacked." Her fingers were moving so fast across the keyboard, it would be difficult for a cheetah to keep up (not saying they're able to type or anything)! A window popped up asking for the password. "We work out a whole plan to steal one of these tracking thingies and we never thought about a password?!" Naruto said.

But right after Naruto finished his sentence, the laptop said, "Password approved," making Naruto's jaw drop. Lots of windows popped up once the password had been approved. Reiya went to the one that controls the security cameras, and clicked the button that said: SHUT DOWN ALL SECURITY CAMERAS.

"Won't the security guards who are still here notice that the cameras turned off and just turn them back on?" Sakura asked.

We all froze from her question. We hadn't thought of that at all! We turned to Kankuro, whom was assembling his puppet to look like a security guard. "Kankuro, you're a genius!" I exclaimed.

"Tell him something he doesn't know!" Reiya yelled at me, admiring Kankuro at the same time.

He stood up holding the puppet. "If we're going to switch out a tracking device, then why not a security guard as well?" he asked, already knowing the answer to his question. Reiya sighed in great admiration, while Naruto and I rolled our eyes.

I looked around. "Where's Lee?" I asked, we had all sort of forgotten he was with us.

"He might have gone to where the guards monitor the cameras to make sure they didn't turn them on," Sakura suggested.

"If he did, we have no idea where they monitor the cameras," Naruto said, shooting down our hopes.

"Way ahead of you!" Reiya said, typing a search for its location.

A map popped up with two dots on it. One was red, and the other was green. " Why are there two dots?" Naruto asked.

"The red one is where the tracking device is, and the green one is where the camera monitor is," Reiya answered as a copy of the map printed out. She rolled it up and stuck it a burlap sack (has all the stuff we need to steal the device).

We first went to the camera-monitoring place thingy, and sure enough, Bushy Brows was peeking over the window at the confused security guard. We crawled under the window so the guard wouldn't see us. "Lee, what the heck are you doing?" I asked once we were to where he was.

"Wasn't I supposed to make sure they don't turn the cameras back on?" Lee asked pretty confused.

We shook our heads. "We need everyone to steal the device, we can't have anyone stay behind," Sakura explained.

"Then..."

"Kankuro made a puppet that looks like a guard so the cameras can't get switched," I said before Lee could ask more questions.

After we all got in the right places under the window (in case the puppet idea didn't work) Kankuro manipulated the puppet into the room. The real security guard seemed to buy the idea of switching rounds and left. Kankuro set the puppet on the chair and we were off to the next dot…the one were the tracking device was.

We stopped at a large vault; you know the ones at banks. Anywho, we hadn't thought about this either, and weren't sure what to do. A puppet wouldn't get us out of this one, and we had to tell Reiya that a puppet wouldn't work and that Kankuro wouldn't feel left out like A MILLION TIMES!!!!! I thought I would lose my voice I had to tell her so many times!

And no, we hadn't planned on using a bomb for two reasons…one, because it would set off security, and two, we didn't have any bombs…not even a grenade! Using a drill popped up a couple of times, but we kept forgetting we didn't have a drill either!

But, finally, after SEVERAL HOURS we realized we could just hack into security again and unlock the vault! Everyone felt stupid after that…EVERYBODY. Once again, a window popped up asking for the password. Reiya put in the right one making Naruto's jaw drop real low again. The vault door opened, and we all basked in our success as we walked into it. There were A LOT of tracking devices. Naruto got the fake one and quickly switched them out. "Ah! We finally got it!" he announced happily, holding the real one up. Alas, we couldn't celebrate. The sirens went off, and red lights started to flash everywhere. A voice came over the intercom saying, "Security breech, accessing emergency lockdown,"

We turned to run out, but the vault door was already closing…locking us inside…

Well…that's it for now! God! I love leaving it on a cliffhanger like this!!! And yes, AlexSupercaly I know I'm mean…AND I LIKE IT LOTS!!!!! Have fun suffering!! Until next time!
