Ashleigh's POV

"Hey guys is we're going shouldn't o have a gun?" Leo asked

"No" the three of us agreed

"Hey is my nose still swollen it really hurts" Leo whined

"Let me see, I don't think so" I said grabbing it until I heard a loud crunch

"Ah ow" he complained

"Your amazing" Riggs laughed

We decided to take murtaughs car as there was only two seats in mine.

"It should be coming up soon" Leo insisted even though he had been pretty sure the last 9 places who had been where the right one.

"9856." I read the house number

"That's it. That's another possibility." Leo said

"This is the ninth possibility, Leo." Rog rolled his  eyes

"That's it. Nine. My lucky number. Nine." He said getting excited.

"Stay in the car." Riggs said

"Can't l come?" He whined

"Stay." I warned him.

We walked straight through the gates and made our way up the dirt path that lead to the back of the house

"You smell what l smell ?" Riggs asked

"l smell it." I nodded

"A rat? A real stinky one."Murtaugh nodded

Riggs found an opening in the trees that lead down to the balcony on the house.

"Where you going?" I asked

"l'm a peeping Tom. lt goes with the badge. lt's fun sometimes." He laughed

"I'm going with you" I said taking his hand as he helped me down the slope.

"Hey, What about me" Rog complained

"Follow the original plan" Riggs laughed

Me and Riggs continued walking along the path, being careful not to get seen.

"Bingo" he said pointing to the window where several men could be seen standing inside.

There was a bucket and a large filter net laying in the ground near the wall.

"Here you take this and follow my lead, if they ask were here to clean the pool" he said handing me the bucket with a wink.

He started walking along the balcony by the window we had just passed.

"What are you doing here?" One of the men said already realising me and Riggs were there.

"Where's the pool?" Riggs asked

"Why are you here?" The man asked more forcefully, this time to me.

"Cleaning the pool" I repeated

"There's no bloody pool" the other man said angrily.

"Of course there's a pool do you think we'd be here if there wasn't a pool" Riggs laughed
