Scene 101
We had to keep low as we pulled ourselves onto the rocky beach, as there were guards everywhere. Fortunately, the overcast skies and heavy mists hid our presence.
“What now?” James asked.
“We need to get into the fortress,” I replied. “Look around for a door or gate or anything like that.”
We quickly moved to a position shielded by several large boulders, that gave us some concealment as we searched the hillside for a way inside.
“Over there!” James said, as he pointed to the hillside.
There a set of steel doors was set into the rock, so we moved that way as stealthily as we could. Unfortunately, luck was not with us. We must have triggered an alarm, because sirens began sounding.
“Hurry!” I told James. “We need to get inside now!”
We frantically searched all around the doors but couldn’t find any way to open them.
“David, they’ve spotted us!” James said.
I looked where he pointed and saw a group of guards moving our way. “Crap! How do we get into this place?”
And then something in my pocket began to vibrate.
We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. - Japanese Proverb
