Jazz crouched in the vents, not moving an inch, in case the cameras in the hall picked up the sound, and sent someone looking for him. The bell rang to dismiss the rest of the students from their classes, and that's when Jazz moved, darting down the vents, and into to the next set, which were situated directly above the security room monitors.
Jazz mentally reviewed his mission objective, which had been handed to him at the beginning of the day. He settled himself in, and waited until the shift change. He watched as Inferno left the room, leaving Red Alert alone.
Perfect.
He carefully unlocked the grate, and dropped noiselessly to the ground, heading for the farthest console. Hopefully, Red wouldn't turn around and catch him. The usually twitchy mech was relaxed, sitting back in his seat and watching the screens in front of him.
Jazz jacked into the system, and began typing quietly. Within minutes, he was in, and had gotten the information he needed. He left no trace that the computer had been hacked, and began to cross the room, watching Red the entire time. He froze when Red sat upright, and stretched. Jazz moved, darkening his visor and slipping into the shadows.
Red paused as he passed where Jazz was crouched. Jazz all but stopped breathing until Red moved on, and out the door. He waited a few moments before jumping up and into the vent, latching it securely after him. He worked his way through the vents until he was over the right room. He unlatched the vent, and dropped down in front of Hot Rod. "Done."
Hot Rod looked up and regarded Jazz. "You got the video file?"
"Got it." Jazz tossed him the chip. "So, how'd I do?"
"You passed the test." Hot Rod said, reviewing the feed from the chip.
"Cool." Jazz said, heading out the door. "Later."
"Later, Jazz." Hot Rod called back. He watched Jazz saunter out the door and shook his head. Jazz had the potential to be one of the best saboteurs he'd ever taught. It was just a matter of Jazz learning to curb his impulsiveness. But that could wait until next time.

A/N – Okay, this chapter is tiny, and I know it, but hey, if I do anything else to it, then the chapter kinda loses something. But I like the way it turned out, all things considered. Well, read, review, and let me know what ya think!
