Wrong Way.
“How did you get in here? How did you get past security?”
“I couldn’t possibly tell you… I mean, honestly I have no idea how I got here. Where am I?”
“Fort Knox.” The security guy said.
“Huh. It’s a lot smaller than I thought it’d be. Where’s the bathroom?” I ask.
“Bathroom? BATHROOM!? This is Fort Knox young lady! Who are you? Why are you here!?” He shouts, reaching for his gun.
“I’m just a kid who was looking for the toilet!” I blurt, “I’m desperate.”
He looks at me in disbelief, then looks down at my blazer.
“Fort Knox high school?”
“Yeah, I’m new and got all turned around I guess. Please sir, I’m just 13…”
Eyes softening, he gives a big sigh.
“Okay. I won’t report you if you head right on back.”
“Yes sir, thank you. I was wondering where the fancy vault is for a school project. ”I fiddle with my bag. “If it’s not too much trouble…”
He whispers, “It’s a secret door at the end of the corridor.”
My eyes go big. “Wow! Which one!?”
He gives a soft laugh, “Don’t put this in your report but it’s level 4 section 16… it has a loose brick.”
I give a big grin, “Thank you so much, sir! You’ve helped tremendously!”
Then I bring out my tranquilliser and shoot him in the neck.
He goes down with a grunt of surprise.
“Works every time.” I bring my earpiece to my ear, “heard that brainiac?”
A voice grumbles in my ear.
“Every word. Level 4 section 6.”
“Wrong way. Section 16 with a loose brick.”
“Oh. Oh yeah, thanks. Sending the team in.”
