Chapter 82: Against The Clock

Nolan activated tread lightly and moved slowly towards the guard, hoping not to wake him. When he got close, he activated shadow form and slipped under both the guard and the door.

He quickly scanned the room before moving towards the desk, opening the drawers and looking for his target.

'Dang, not here.'

He then moved to the filing cabinet and opened it up.

*Creak*

The worn cabinet let out a noise as he pulled it open. With bated breath the thief waited but no one entered the room. He flipped through the files, failing to find what he was looking for before slightly lifting the cabinet drawer and silently sliding it back in.

'Of course.' Nolan said to himself after approaching the safe in the corner.

He tried the handle, hoping to get lucky, but if it were that easy it wouldn't be a thief mission.

'I really should have practiced before.' He thought to himself with a sigh as he took out his never before used lock pick set.
