Chapter Two

Didn't sign up for this ...

"just thought that, shall nevermind, so where exactly are we going to, isn't this the staffs side of the building"

"Yeah it is obviously, we just got to take that stuff before someone watches it"

'We?' I asked in my mind, 'i don't even have a bit of idea what we were here for and he's already including me in the scheme'

"just tell me what we a...", he caught me off as he turned his head in a jolt to overlook the hallway

"Shit!… a teacher is coming this away" he said in a flash

"Oh, there is a small janitor room by the side here where we can hide until the teacher pass" I pointed at the other side, perpendicular to the hall the teacher was coming from, now am officially an accomplice to this scheme I have no idea of beforehand

"Nice!!" Ronald exclaimed as he ran over to the room, not even looking if I was following behind

We waited silently until we heard the teacher step ascend and descend into the distance out of sound, was already starting to regret why I had followed Ronald to this heist like mission, when what I had expected was to be with the girls

"Where does the path leads to, am trying to find the camera security room" he finally made known his intention after going round the staff quarters of the school building which was one of the largest public schools in the country with a significantly large population

"so now you tell me your plans?" I was annoyed he kept me in the dark for so long

"Yeah, sorry for not telling you earlier about it, it's was just a bit of sensitive matter " I think he obviously could sense my displeasure with the whole matter

"Need to get a particular day's video tape from the security camera room, now just try checking map of the building for me on your phone"

"What do you mean, what would you need that for" I asked, Seeing there must be a back story behind this

"and even if I was to get the building plan for the school to find the security camera room, it would be a harder and longer process since my laptop where the finder is installed in is not here" i said, to derail him of what ever intentions he had so we can go back to the cateferia and abort this wannabe mission, what ever it was

"….. , what are you talking about, just bring out your phone and do your thing " I guess he knew me well enough to know that I could easily do that from my phone without the need for my laptop

"Would have told you about it so you would have done this beforehand, but I knew your scared ass wouldn't tag along if I had told you the details"

Already out with my phone with the back and search protocol online, I started, like he said…. 'doing my thing'

Did not say another word again so as not to get distracted as I map out the structure of the school with the poor network I had

"ok done"

"The security camera room…. Security .... Camera .... Room.... " I let the words flow out as I looked through the map of the school which i had successfully accessed using my phone

"Oh yeah, found it, there it is" I said to him pointing a the phone "we had already past it, it's beside the corner of staff room D

He quickly started moving silently to the said location while I followed behind as usual

On getting there,he turned the handle and pushed the door, finding out it's locked he turned to me "you can open it can't you?" he asked me, knowing I have done it before on one of my self defense and surviva project

"Yeah, let me try" I said to him, taking the pin from his out stretched hand, he really came prepared, with me as part of his tools to carry out his plans

"So which particular day video tape do you want to steal from the security camera room and what is in it?" I asked as I worked with the pin to try and open the door

"The tape monitoring the computers lab room on the 15th of this month he replied

'whoopsie' I smiled at my breaking in or out skill, the door was now open, was proud of my ability to do this, even though right now it's for malicious purpose

"Wait, the computer laboratory doesn't have a camera?" I suddenly realized I have not seen one there before

He was already in the room going through the drawers and cabinets holding the collections of the different rooms and days tape "yeah, that it what I thought too when I was taking the hard drives from the computer, untill I found out from Britt Nicole yesterday that there was one there which was well hidden"

Now shocked on the spot where I stood "You stole a hard drive from the computer laboratory?" I asked, not believing what I was hearing

"Actually 3 hard drives, I needed the money, man" he replied not bothered at all on what he had just done, all his focus was just to get the tape and be free from being caught

"Ronald, that's illegal and a big offence!!" I exclaimed, couldn't believe I have become part of covering up a crime

He just chuckled at my outburst, having no care at all for his actions, "i told you I needed the money, stop behaving like a whining little girl and help me in searching for the tape"

'The deed had already been done, backing off now would just implicate me too with him' I thought as I followed in the search for the tape

"found it, let's move" Ronald suddenly said with two tapes in his hand as he rose up, tucking in everything back in its place to leave no sign they were there

"Why two tape?" I asked in curiosity as I also put back the items i had scattered around in search of the tape

"Oh, Britt Nicole asked me to help him out with this other day own, for a fee obviously" he smiled like it's not a big deal, now I know why students always complain about the school computer system always crashing and having problems, deeds caused by our fellow students, not the school administrators who we always blame for mismanagement

In a moment time, we were done with everything as we headed out of the security camera room and locked back the door behind me as we left silently and found our way back to the cateferia.

Mission successful...
