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.”
