Isaac cleared his throat, coughing into one of his fists before straightening up again and being all serious. [i] Act like a scientist. Act like a scientist.[/i] He thought to himself.

The pair continued the stand there in silence stopping at a floor picking up people continuing up and dropping them off. Finally they hit the 74th floor and the duo step through. "Good luck." Mathias winked. Though he was sure his baby bro didn't need it.  

Isaac nodded and stepped out, getting his bearings of the floor layout. "Ok, guardian angel" he said softly, "where to?"

Cyd eyed the different boxes on the screen, quickly planning out the best route for him. “Left,” she directed. “You’re going to pass a row of labs, I’ve got cameras off you, just try not to draw too much attention. Company is around the corner, so go, now, walk.” She directed in a calm, even tone.  Her eyes flicked between the numerous boxes on her screen. “Cubbies on your right, third one is open, we’re gonna let security walk on by. Third cube, go.”

Isaac dutifully followed his sister's instructions. Left, don't draw attention, third cubby. Just as he stepped into it, the guards in question turned into the hallway. The teen crouched down in the cubby and stayed motionless, holding his breath as the two guards walked by, oblivious to his presence. Once they passed, he let out a relieved long exhale. "Ok...now what?"

She hurriedly pulled her hair into a loose bun to give the back of her neck some much needed relief, all that was missing now was a cool breeze. None came, just more humidity, like a damp wool blanket covering every inch. “Back the way you came,” She said, her voice slightly muffled by the hair tie she held in her teeth. “You’ll see a hallway beside  Lab G,” Cyd directed, giving it a quick scan as she wrapped the band around her hair. “It looks clear, but haul ass, they got a timer on the coffee maker due off soon - that means someone will be taking a break. Server room is at the end of that hall. Mathias- how we looking on your end?” 

"Just trying to look like I know what I'm doing. They changed the layout of the cubicle. Can you give me a little point in the right direction?" Mathias said walking at a leisurely pace to buy him time so it didn't start  looping around in circles.

“Okay, hold on, “ Cyd said, opening a box larger on the screen, to get a bird’s eye of Mathias’ surroundings.  “You’re looking for the desk of Kari Boone in IT.  I don’t have much. Vampire books, and she’s got a thing for sunflowers, according to her social pages.” 

"Cubical number or am I just looking for a blood-sucking sunflower?" Mathais asked, turning down an aisle looking for a splash of yellow.

“They must have moved recently. Try the one in the corner, “ she said after a brief pause, zoming in. “Sunflower photo frame. Picture of a black cat in it.” [i] Probably named Edward or Stephan,[/i] she inwardly scowled.  

"Oh she's one of those.” Mathais said, keeping his face neutral." As he turned to be line for the corner desk. "There an event or something going on? I'm not complaining but it seems a bit light in the office right now." He checked his watch. "Or it could be lunch."

“Exec on the fifty-third got infected with a nasty virus,” Cyd said with a hint of pride,. “Kari’s currently keeping it from backdooring itself into the main server. She’ll be busy for a bit.” 

"This is why I am glad you're on my side." Mathias said, using his height to peek over a few walls. "I think I see it." He announced his feet moving a little faster.

“It’s going to be a fob, check the desk or if she has a bag or something,” Cyd directed, turning her eyes back to Isaac. 

"On it. I'll report when I find it." Mathias assured.

 “Great, LoLo, how’s it?” 

"Just got to the server room." Isaac confirmed softly. The foot traffic on the floor was very light, only a few star dotted here and there. Few bothered to even look up and the one or two that did didn't do so long enough to take an interest in him. Drones. He couldn't imagine life trapped behind a desk. He almost felt sorry for them, but there was no time to think about that right now. He put his finger up to the ten digit keypad. The intel had been good so far. It would suck if this is where it went to hell. He quietly held his breath and punched in the door code...2...4...6...0...1. The lock clicked and the handle was able to turn freely. He wasn't sure if the exhale he instinctively let out in relief blew his cover but a quick side eye left and right allayed his fears. He slipped inside and the door clicked behind him. "I'm in." Immediately, he began searching for his quarry. A few of the servers had workstations built into them which were little more than a screen and keyboard interrupting the otherwise smooth lines of the monoliths that were stacked in rows filling the room. Fortunately for him, bureaucratic technicians were meticulous as the tall black rectangles all had been conveniently labeled for easy identification during maintenance. He quickly located the right one and squared off with it's interface. He scanned it for ports until he found slots where he could insert the dongle. He snickered, then he inserted the device into the machine. "The dongle has landed." He smirked as he spoke softly into the earpiece. "I repeat, the dongle has landed.”

“Sit tight a sec,” Cyd said absently, cussing the name bestowed on the useful hardware.  The screen lit up, as she tapped away,  lines of colored code scrolling, interrupted only when she’d glance to keep eyes on Mathias. “I’ve got the remote!” She said excitedly. How could she NOT be? It actually worked! “Downloading the files, few more minutes, Yobo, where are we with the key fob?” She glanced down at the time. Getting the intel was one thing, it would be useless if they couldn’t decrypt it. 

"Uuuuuh …" Mathias cleared his throat. "... The fob isn't here." The eldest had, neatly, torn apart the little cubicle. All obvious places had been checked first, then draws, pen holders, anything that could be a container. Hell he even checked under  the damn keyboard. "... But her login is 'Sunfl0wers123<3'." Mathias groused.

“Well, that’s a start,” Cyd said, swearing under her breath. “I can get into her system and see if there’s an encryption program stored, or… “ She tapped the screen a few times. “You can find her on the 53rd floor, still working on the exec’s system, I don’t see a bag, so it may be on her person.”

"Right … when's her lunch break?" Mathias asked, thinking as he scratched the back of his neck.

“Probably when she clears up that virus. Let me know when you’re in place, and I’ll make sure that happens, “ Cyd promised. 

"I can always go to her?" Mathias suggested. "No telling how long it's going to take unless you plan on sneaking and doing her job for her."

Cyd shifted her eyes to catch both screens, opening another box to check on Kari.“I put the virus, I can make it go away. If you get to the 53rd floor, I’ll make sure you run into her. You do your thing,”  

"I can hear the smug from all the way here." He teased heading to the elevator. "On my way."

“Eyes on you…  whale dick one,” Cyd teased back, keeping her voice completely serious.

"Oh NOW you like the code names …" Mathais said, smothering a laugh as he got in the elevator.
