The Moment They Knew They Were In Trouble
Standing in the shadows of the warehouse, surrounded by stolen corporate documents, expensive surveillance equipment, and men in suits exchanging classified information, the Sterling heirs finally grasped the scale of their mistake.
They weren't just snooping.
They weren't just investigating a corporate crisis.
They were witnessing an active conspiracy.
And now?
They needed to get out before they were seen.
Step 1: Planning the Escape (Instant Disaster)
Zephyr—still clinging to his business mindset—whispered, "We need a structured exit strategy."
Solene rolled her eyes. "We need to run."
Caspian—who was still staring at the expensive gadgets—muttered, "We need to steal something cool before we go."
Zephyr and Solene immediately dragged him away before he ruined everything.
Step 2: Moving Through the Warehouse (Terrible Stealth Tactics)
Instead of sprinting for the exit immediately, they tried to be smart—carefully moving along the edge of the facility, sticking to the shadows.
Unfortunately—they were absolutely horrible at stealth.
Mistakes That Happened Instantly:
Solene's outfit was far too glamorous for sneaking around, causing her sequin sleeves to reflect light, nearly exposing them multiple times.Zephyr whispered escape plans constantly, accidentally giving away their location every few steps.Caspian tried to "blend in" by holding a clipboard he found—but had no idea what was written on it, leading to him answering a question from a worker with, "Uh…business things?"
Despite all their failures, they managed to reach the far side of the warehouse—where a side exit led directly into an alleyway.
Finally—they had a way out.
Until—they heard voices approaching.
Step 3: The Sudden Exit Through a Window (Instant Panic Mode)
With guards moving toward their location, they had seconds to escape.
Zephyr spotted a window leading outside, just barely big enough to squeeze through.
"There—NOW."
Solene didn't hesitate, immediately climbing onto a stacked crate to pull herself through.
Caspian struggled, nearly getting stuck halfway before Solene yanked him out.
Zephyr had the worst luck—losing his balance at the last second and crashing through the window rather than climbing out cleanly.
But—they had made it.
And now?
They were outside, free, and running again.
But the mystery inside that warehouse?
Was far from over.
