Bows was the first to exit the blacked-out van. She was wearing an all black outfit that matched everyone else’s apparel on the team. Except she made some last minute touches to make the getup more feminine and fashionable. Her hair was in a tight high ponytail accentuated with a glittery bow, and her lipstick was a shade of dark maroon that resembled a dried-blood color. She had a single hand knife wrapped around her calf, whereas Boulder was armed with several handguns and knives on his utility belt and attached to his bulletproof vest. Worm opened his metallic steel briefcase and grabbed a couple of gadgets that resembled something out of a James Bond novel.

Once all three of the team members were outside the van, they made sure to test their earpiece communication devices. Boulder made a series of hand signals to Bows and Worm and crept to the side of the house. Bows looked at Worm and they both shrugged their shoulders, as neither one of them knew how to interpret what his hand signals meant.

Worm led Bows to the front door and attached the first gadget on it right above where the door handle should’ve been. Since this front door was made to keep intruders out, Worm had quite the challenge opening this door to the fortress. But if anyone could figure out an electronic way of getting inside, it would be him.

“Here, take this. All you have to do is attach it to a door and twist it counter-clockwise. And make sure you move out of the way.” He said, handing Bows a circular metallic device. Bows put it in her back pocket and stepped away from Worm, letting him do his thing.

Bows looked around the house for any drainpipe or ladder she could climb to a second story window to get inside. But as she examined the windows, she realized they were barred. There would be no getting in through a window to this safe house. Even the window wells to the basement were blocked off, filled with cement.

Bows made her way to the backyard and spotted Boulder crouching down beside a tall tree. She put her hand over her eyes to block the bright sun. The twilight hour was approaching in a few hours time and the sun was at that angle where it was in your eyes no matter where you stood.

Once Boulder made eye contact with Bows, he rolled his eyes and signaled for her to come behind the tree with him. She slowly walked towards the tree as he was mouthing the words, “Move! Get over here!”

She didn’t understand the urgency and outrage he was displaying in a mime-like form. He pulled her behind the tree’s large trunk and scolded her for not following his direct clear hand signals to stay low and stay hidden until Worm could get the front door open. She pushed Boulder away from her as best as her tiny frame could push a 230-pound mountain of a man.
