"It's a six man job,I'm sure of it." Lee spoke with precision as he watched the rain slowly fall on the passenger side window.
Beside him in the driver's seat was Jim Rivers,nuclear physicist among other things. Lee didn't care about his many achievements in scientific research;all he cared about was the payday.
Jim fixed his necktie as he looked down at the file in his hands,"Six men,huh...it's gonna cut your fee in half. It's also gonna be hard to find a team that..specialize in what you need."
Lee chuckled as he pulled a cigarette out of his jacket,"Don't worry yourself with the members,i got the perfect idea of who i want;all i need is to gather them."
A crackle of lightning made Jim jump,Lee smiled"Please tell me,you ain't one of those guys that bails at the first signs of trouble?" Jim shook his head with reprieve,"I'm not,i was just thinking.."
Lee rolled his eyes as he lit his cigarette,"Yep..you guys usually do." Than Jim's voice became course with caution,"You're about to break into a secure facility and not just any kind either. Tom Morgan just doesn't play with test tubes,he's a genetic researcher in dark matter."
Jim's words made Lee exhale a long breath of smoke as he nodded,"Yeah,yeah...i get it,he's not Bill Nye." Jim stopped short with a stern look on his face,"No you don't get it..he's a head research for a private division of the military."
Lee eyebrow rose a bit,"What are you trying to say?" Jim exhaled,"I hired you for this job because you're the best thief out there,you've never been caught. But,these guys they won't take prisoners or call the authorities..they'll shoot to kill."
Lee chuckled as he opened the passenger door and spoke with humor,"I think we can handle it..."
Two nights later....
Lee walked slowly through the forest looking down at the map,that Jim gave him. His head com attached to his ear was filled with chatter from his team.
Getting yards from the perimeter,Lee nestled beside a tree as he drew his team to attention. "Alright,pipe down six minutes to go time..we all set." Suddenly a voice responded,graveled and soar which Lee knew was Howard Tally.
"Yo Eagle 1,i thought you said we were breaking into a lab...this is a f#(king cabin." Lee shook his head as he responded with a chuckle,"Yeah,geek 101..nothing is what it seems."
The cabin was outlined with a chain link fence with barbwire at the top,Lee's guess was it wasn't only electric but also vibrant sensors. Luckily Lee was prepared as he got on his com,"Dan my man,please tell me you got a plan for the gate?"
Dan's hyper voice blared out,"Come on man,i've hacked into banks with more security than this. But answering your question..yes,i've bypassed the mainframe of the security box and in 3,2..."
Suddenly Lee heard a buzzer sound as the gate clicked open,"Lee smiled as he spoke."I owe you Dan,alright wait to see if anyone comes to gate." The porch light to the cabin flickered as a ghostly silence fell from the forrest floor.
"I don't see anyone." Howard barked as Dan piped in"Yeah,I'm jamming all communications but they haven't even push an alarm." Lee felt cautious as he stood up and began walking to the cabin as he heard Howard approaching from the east.
Side by side the two men looked up at the perimeter fence as Dan came wobbling up with his satchel over his shoulder and laptop in hand. "What you think Lee?"
Howards voice rang as he stroke his braided goatee,his left hand centered on his strapped .45."It's odd,no ones coming at us right now..we'll move slow." Lee lead the way wielding an 8mm as Howard followed now with his ak-47 drawn and Dan crept behind.
The piercing glow of the moon cast a overview of what looked to be a massive cabin. One Lee could never afford the luxuries of living in as a kid,reaching the first step he saw it.
