Jane was busy with her work trying to download the whole terminal and everything related to it into a portable server.

She was fully focused on her work forgetting about anything related to Samuel as she needed to monitor what others were doing and even warning them about any incoming threats.

Drake and Cho created perfect distraction messing up with the grid in different places pulling the eyes of security away from the key areas.

The guards on the ground constantly tried to contact the control room but they weren't getting any response making the whole situation even more bizzare.

They wanted to send people to look into it but with so much destruction and loss of property, they had their hands full. A series of failure made them believe that it was a internal issue which was disrupting their communication channels.

For defence they do have things that could effectively jam the whole place in a layer of protection so that no one could listen in on them that included them being unable to ue their normal channels.

The idea was the intruder would have a worse time than them who were prepared and knew the place from inside out. With no way to escape the rats would be found and dealt with.

Those precious minutes that they wanted chasing the fhost around the faulty place gave Steve and Arthur enough time to rummage around for some hard evidence that wouldn't be procured digitally.

They were lucky enough to come upon the hidden stash filled with different documents. They couldn't make a sense of it at the moment so they quietly gathered what felt important and decided to escape as the twenty minute mark was approaching fast.

That was the deadline given to them by Samuel and they needed to get out or else they risk sign of exposing themselves.

These people who were protecting the place were not nobodies. They would catch up on the fact that they were being played sooner or later.

Right around the mark, Cho and Drake were the first to retreat waiting for their boss and Steve and Arthur to meet up at the van.

Jane was already done with the transfer at this point and was monitoring Samuel's signal only to see that somewhere along the way, she had completely lost him.

She instantly knew that he had turned off the feature not wanting them to find out his location. She tried to contact him but there was no response. She didn't know what he was going to do but from the way he warned her that he wouldn't be joining them or telling them what he was going to do next.

He had already laid out the plan about what to do next so there would be no confusion but there was still the issue of them reporting back to HQ. She was sure Daniel was going to contact her and if she didn't know what Samuel was up to it would surely make the other party angry especially knowing what they did tonight.

" What's wrong? You look pale." Cho asked seeing Jane deep in her thought. Maybe she was scared but she barely had any blood on her face and looked like she had seen something scary.

" Pale? Maybe she put on more makeup. I have been seeing her trying to dress up more lately probably because she was to seduce Steve." Drake joked. He didn't take it seriously and thought everything was going alright after all they were connected through the comms and knew other two were on their way and had successfully completed their mission.

Before Jane could say anything both Arthur and Steve returned with two large duffle bags filled with documents. They took as much as they could but it still wasn't enough to carry everything, that's how much shit they had stashed up in that place.

It made them believe that there were more such places hidden where they could be more important datas but unfortunately after tonight's robbery, it would be hard for them to hit the place again.

" What happened to you?" Steve got inside the van and when he saw his wife he asked directly. He knew her better than anyone else and knew that something was bothering her.

" It's boss...he told us to follow the plan."

" We are following his plan. Wait! You don't mean-"

" I guess he told you that he wouldn't be returning back with us right?" Arthur interjected like he already expected such outcome.

" Yes. I think we overlooked that he not only want to sink this family but his main grudge is with someone else and I think he will be dealing with him tonight." Jane said nudging Steve to start driving. They had overstayed their welcome and it was getting dangerous for them to hang around the area after causing so much commotion.

" Hah, I expected it. Young master has always been the person who never holds back especially when it comes to his enemies. I think he would even go against people who harmed someone he cares about in their past life that's how petty he is. Now that he knew that the person who was responsible for all this was here, there was little chance for him to let him go." Arthur said calmly.

He had seen the meek and timid child grow up to become someone strong beyond human conception. Someone of his might should be magnanimous and caring but deep down Arthur knew his young master was someone who held grudges.

" What should we do now? Should we find him?" Cho commented.

" No, leave him be. Even if we try, I don't think he wants to be found. I am sure he would think of the consequences more seriously this time since he had some time to think it over." Arthur rejected the idea.

Steve didn't know what to say, he started driving as they slowly moved away from the mansion taking the same route back to the Estate.

They knew it was risky going back alone but they would need the equipment at the base if they hope to crack the mountain of information that they collected tonight.
