"I remember it was like a cat meowing, three short and one long, repeated twice."
It's hard to say whether being discovered as a spy or being seen imitating a cat was more embarrassing. Shard pondered this as he walked back to the hall along the path. After climbing in through the window at the end of the corridor, he wrote a note in the hallway, indicating the bomb location and time, then pursed his lips and did his best to mimic a cat's meow.
Living with a cat made him confident that his imitation was quite accurate.
The sound of meows~ inside the building was rare but could be attributed to a wild cat sneaking in. After calling out, Shard quickly dropped the note on the floor and left from the other side of the corridor.
Soon, a guard, who came alone to check upon hearing the meowing, saw Shard coming from the direction of the washroom. Together they discovered the note, and upon picking it up and checking it, the guard's eyes widened suddenly.
