The guards perform their rounds with timely military precision, and for a moment you worry that you might not be able to make it into the black-site after all. Then something catches your attention: one of the guards has developed a hitch in his step and a slowly developing grimace on his face.

You nudge Lapu and point out the guard. "See that soldier?"

Lapu nods.

"He's going to stop his rounds soon. We should be ready to move quickly."

"How do you know that?"

The boy giggles into his hand as you explain the not-so-subtle tells of a human who desperately needs to empty his bladder. The next time the soldier disappears behind the building, he does not reappear at the front.

Instructing Lapu to shadow your movements as closely as possible, you break for the entry door once the remaining soldier turns his back. The lock on the door pops open at the deft probing of your claw, and you usher Lapu inside, closing the door behind you quietly. From here, it's only a quick jog to the black-site building itself.
