Ch. 70 - TRIGGERS

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Guys..." She said but only Odette paid attention to her and noticed what Lydia was looking at. "How about using the tunnels?" Malia suggested, "We could get underneath the building, but we'd still need to sneak in undetected."

"Guys..." Lydia said again but they didnt pay attention. "The ventilation system?" Scott suggested and Argent shook his head, "Same problem."

"Guys! Look!" Odette said loudly making them look at her and she pointing out the window making them look over. "They're leaving." Lydia said as they watched a group of people get into cars and drive off.

Odette walked into the armory despite Argent trying to tell her to slow down. She walked right up to the first people she saw and before they could even noticed her she grabbed him by his hair and slammed his head into the wall before letting him fall to the ground as the others walked in.

They walked down a hall and Argent opened a door before shoot a paint ball at one if the cameras and the rest followed him, Malia dragging the unconscious body of the hunter with them. "The thermite charges will take care of the weapons. Just make sure you're clear before they detonate, okay?" Argent said as he grabbed a bag from Scott before walking down a hall with Lydia and Odette following him.

Argent slowly opened a door where a hunter was sitting in front of a few screens, "You find the problem?" He asked and Argent walked up to him before slamming the butt of his gun down on the man's head, knocking him out.

They walked over to the desk and watched through the servalince cameras as Malia and Scott walk down at hall. All of the sudden Lydia's head shot up, "Did you hear a gunshot?" Lydia asked making Argent and Odette look at her before glancing at each other.

"No, I didn't hear anything." He said and Odette nodded in agreement before Lydia signed, "I heard shell casings. I saw your windshield crack, and then I heard it shatter." Lydia said making Odette glance at her uncle with wide eyes.

"Maybe you were right. We should've called this off." Odette sighed and Lydia nodded in agreement.

"We all have to get out of there." Lydia and Argent sighed and shook his head, "Do that, and we lose our chance." Argent said and Lydia sighed. "Scott and Malia could die. It's not worth the risk." She said.

"Ten minutes ago, I would've agreed, but right now, we're in it, and we need to weigh the risk versus reward carefully. If we stay, we could succeed. If we go, we know we won't get another chance. Since one risk is known, and the other unknown..." Argent trailed off and Odette sighed and nodded slightly, "We go with the known." She said and Argent nodded before unlocking the door.

A few minutes later after finding out they took all the weapons, Argent pressed the button to the intercom, "Guys, get out of there now." He said.

"Let's go before they all get back." Malia said and they when to leave but Scott stopped, "That scent..." He said and Malia sniffed the air for a moment before turning to a door off to the side. "It's Jiang and Tierney." She said

"Guys, you need to leave now!" Argent said making Scott and Malia looked over towards the camera before looking at the door again, "Help me with this." Scott said, running over to a door. "Qu’est-ce qu’ils foutent?" Odette muttered as Scott and Malia started to try and open the door.

(Translation: What the fuck are those idiots doing?)

Something started beeping and a red light on the desk started flashing making them look down at it and Argent's eyes widened slightly. "No, no, no! Don't open that door!" He yelled through the intercom but Scott and Malia ignored him before pulling the door open.
