'Stop' Lucy murmured, as we came closer to a massive building. All the windows had been blocked by cardboard, either to stop the remaining ones from getting smashed. Or to stop prying eyes, i.e. me and Lucy.

I stopped behind Lucy's outstretched arm, which she had put out to make sure I did stop. We silently crouched down and ran into the shrub layer that surrounded the perimeter of the warehouse. Two men passed in front of us, without batting an eyelid. This place may looked run down and ruined, but really, it was far from.

'This is the place,' I uttered under my breath, Lucy being Lucy, heard me though.

'You got that right, okay so judging by the looks of things they have a perimeter walk every five minutes and the those two passed us three minutes ago,' we were sitting here for that long? 'So I say, we wait until the next pass, and then we have four minutes from here,' she pointed down at our feet, 'to there,' she pointed at a tower about 200 meters away. I nodded.

'Okay,' I whispered. The next two minutes went by without one sound from either one of us. And as soon as the two guards were in sight, we got up out of crouch, ready to sprint.

'Ready?' I asked. She nodded.

'One the count of three,' they were passing us just now, and once again didn't notice us.

'One, two,' they wouldn't see us now, 'three!' We jumped out of the shrubs and sprinted towards the door, before anyone could see us. We did it in twenty seconds. When we reached the door, Lucy was about to kick it down when I stopped her.

'Wait!' I almost shouted, but managed to control it as a whisper. Just because those guards were out of sight, doesn't mean there are other ones.

'What?' I pointed at the top of the door, when a little plastic box was attached to the door, and on it a light was flashing.

'The door is magnetised, that's why the light is flashing. So if you just bang the door in the magnet will trigger an alarm, and get us caught,'

'So how do we disable the do-,' she stopped as her eyes found a sensor, that you scan your card in, which must disable the magnet, so you can open the door. Standard stuff really. I hunched down to look, and pried off the surface, I was left looking at a bunch of wires. I started to fiddle with them, whilst Lucy kept a look out.

'Joe, you have one minute to get that door open,' she warned in a low voice. In the distance i could hear the two guards chatting away, as if they were going for a casual stroll. Their voices though, were getting closer. Moving my fingers faster, I got the door open just before the guards reached us and we slipped in a closed the door. Not before placing the plastic surface back on the sensor, so it looked like nobody had been there. There wasn't much in the tower, just a spiral staircase, that goes up to the control area, our heading.

Moving quickly and silently we ran up the stairs, and stopped outside a metal door, which lead into the control room. Behind the door we could hear a male voice, he was either talking to a headset, or to himself. I hope it was the former. On the door there was a metal bar, which obviously slid to one side, so that the people inside the control tower could see who was outside the door. So I knocked on the door.

Lucy gave me a panicked look.

'What are you doing?' she looked at me as I was crazy. I put my finger to my lips, giving the universal sign of 'shut up'. The footsteps behind the door got louder and closer and suddenly the metal bar slid across, to reveal and ugly pair of eyes. I dodged out of the man's view along with Lucy, and just before the man closed the bar, I kicked the door with all my might, slamming it into the man's head. Knocking him out cold.

Running forward I looked at the camera screens, today all we need is surveillance and what better surveillance than their security tapes? Behind me Lucy was dragging the man out of the way and closing the door. She then took the comms unit out of the man's ear and listened in to the conversation on the other end. It was the former, thank God.

Pulling out a small USB, I inserted it into the computer and started to transfer all the videos from the past month. I spoke up over my shoulder, my eyes glued on the screen.

'Any signs of distress from the other guards?' she shook her head and whispered.

'Nobody is speaking,' I spun round at speed.

'What?' Behind me the USB started flashing, telling me it was done. I yanked it out a looked out the window, slowly; I could see more and more guards making their way to the tower. I head towards the door, but grabbed the man's card, that must have let him in here. Lucy followed me.

'Let's get out of here, and quick,'

'How many?' She asked, almost automatically. No traces of any fear or emotion were in her voice. Just dullness.

'About 55, 60' I shrugged.

'About?'

'Fine, 58, now hurry up,' I said, taking three stairs at once. Yes, three.

We reached the door in no time and slammed it open, not bothering to be quiet. We ran round the back of the tower. The walk from car was about 10 minutes, five if we run.

'What do we do now?' Lucy asked. Gradually, the sound of alarms and guards running towards the tower was getting mere distinct. I could hear orders being barked in French. They were looking for the breech, we were the breech.

'We run,'
