"Three.... Two.... One." Hendrix counted down before he clicked the mouse and they watched everything in the room power down except the generator and head computer. The whirring sounds quietened down until they disappeared, and a everything looked normal if it weren't for the flashing red light on top of the office door.

"Finish up, we gotta get to the others." Laken hushed, pushing him to go faster.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm going." Hendrix hissed, pulling up the window they needed. He pulled up the window named 'lockdown initiation programme.' And he quickly ran through the stages until the very last step. The one they had to wait on Pandora for.

"Authorised confirmation." And unfortunately the only authorised person was the head.

"Has she sent anything yet?" Hendrix turned around, glancing worriedly at the time.

"No." Laken sighed, peeking out the door to make sure the coast was still clear. "She needs to hurry up. We can't delay this."

Time's ticking.

Pandora Wilson was finally back on her high and instead of being drowsy and lightheaded like those that took drinking as their high, she was steady headed and had adrenaline coursing through her body.

She glanced left and right, keeping her steps light as she moved closer towards the door. She placed a manicured hand down before slowly pressing on the handle and clicking the door open.

She bit her lip anxiously as she glanced in and almost sighed in relief when no one was inside. As quick as possible, she rushed into the headteacher's office and closed the door quietly behind her; all her moves slow and steady.

Firstly, she tried the computer but it was a far stretch. There was no way he would keep what she needed on the computer. So she began rummaging through the desk drawers.

What Pandora Wilson was looking for was the authorisation code needed for the lockdown - something only the head had.

"Where the hell is it?" Pandora whispered to herself as she closed the desk drawers after looking inside and underneath, coming up with nothing.

She stood back up, eyeing the room and she quickly stepped forward, beginning to search in other places. She lifted the cushions on the couch, searched for hidden crevices in the room and even searched inside books incase there was a hidden section inside.

Still nothing.

Then she noticed the massive painting on the wall. One that didn't look to be glued to the wall.
