Cali smiled at the guard's shocked expression when his finger poked her in the chest.

Then she punched him in the throat with a knuckle strike before he could warn the others, crushing his larynx. Grabbing him by the belt, she hauled him away from the desk to keep him from possibly hitting any of the alarms there as he started to flail at her.

Spinning him around before he got oriented, she kicked him behind the knee with the side of her foot, causing his leg to bend as she wrapped her arm around his neck and pulled down with her weight. She had to kick the other one as well, she wasn't very heavy really, but that did the trick, and she brought him down to his knees as he grabbed her arm and tried to take a breath, but with her arm around his neck in a choke hold, along with the damage from her initial strike, he wasn't able to.

Before he could get his wits back and possibly get away from her, or worse yet, cast a spell, Cali pulled back her right arm and hit him with a knuckle strike to the temple as hard as she could, momentarily stunning him. Pushing his body forward, she jumped up into the air, bending her knees, her arms out for balance as her red hair fanned out around her head. As he went prone face first on the floor beneath her, she snapped out her right foot in a knife-edge kick to the base of his skull as her body came back down, combining her weight with the force of the kick, snapping his spine and killing him instantly.

Rolling off the body, she listened a moment. The whole thing had been quiet, except for when the guard's body had hit the floor, but the carpet here was thick, so she didn't think anyone had heard it.

Looking down the hallway, she saw a very wide-eyed Sheila peeking over the edge of the landing.

Cali waved her forward, and turning back to the now dead guard, she carefully picked him up and dragged him back to his chair, which she spent several minutes re-arranging him in, so it would hopefully not be obvious he was dead should anyone come up here before she was finished.

Looking around, she saw Sheila was still back by the steps. Putting her hands on her hips and tapping her foot, Cali stared at her, then motioned for her to come here.

Cali watched as Sheila slowly came down the hallway, looking around nervously.

Cali took her shirt and vest first and put them on, then her shorts, and then her cap to hide her hair. Once dressed, she patted her vest to make sure everything was where she'd put it. Turning, she counted the doors on the left side of the hallway until she had the one she wanted.

"I, I had chloroform!" Sheila whispered, looking at the dead guard, shocked.

Cali held out her hand. "Give."

Sheila nodded and handed her a small flask and a small cloth.
