More Crime

Ellie was hiding out in the woods that surrounded the building. She had already used that cover to do a circuit around the building, looking for all possible entry points and places where people might be watching them from. Other than the front door, there were three emergency exits, one on each side of the building than the front. None of them seemed like a good point of entry. The emergency exits were the usual type, with no handle on the outside and no way of unlatching them. Plus, they would no doubt set off an alarm when opened.

Instead, she settled on one of the windows on the ground floor. It was not too far over from the back emergency exit and low to the ground. To her, it seemed like the window led into a basement, somewhere beneath the back room she had seen from inside. It was exactly where a records room should be.

Alex and George had taken the truck to go check into the hotel. It was just Becky and her again as they were looking at breaking into another target. Becky was sitting on a log next to her, watching the windows above their intended entry. The night had already settled in, dropping the area into darkness. But the windows of the building stayed lit the entire time, bathing the area in light and keeping them to the relative cover of the trees.

"So, what are you thinking?" Becky asked. Her voice, muted as it was, disturbed the silence, startling Ellie. She jumped a little, pushing herself upwards from the ground where she was lying, as if she were about to flee. "Sorry," Becky muttered.

"I'm thinking we wait until after midnight," Ellie said, ignoring her reaction and the comment it prompted. "It's only another hour or so. By then, Alex and George will be back in the parking lot out front. We'll have a quick getaway if we need one. Plus, anyone inside that would be sleeping at all tonight will be, so we'll have less people to worry about disturbing our efforts."

"You do realize how crazy this whole thing is, right? I mean, we're breaking into a psych hospital because three of the parents of the crazy cult that you're worried is out to recruit you were here."

"That is the long and short of it, yes. And, yes, I'm aware it's a bit crazy. Don't you think I know that I'd probably be better off checking myself into a place like this rather than breaking in? I just... If this is nothing, if it's all in my head, I'd do that. But..."

"It's not just in your head. I know. It's weird. I still don't know what you're seeing, or sensing, or whatever, because you won't tell me. I know it's something, something strong and powerful enough to have you so worried about them. They are acting weird, though, I'll give you that, and that weirdness is being directed at you. It's just... I don't
