After all, she was merely handing off a key. Even if she were to be found out, no one would blame her, right?
Noelle consoled herself and determinedly moved forward.
The guard in charge frowned and warned, "The captives are all highly dangerous mutants. Don't come near if you don't want to die!"
"I'm just here to bring you some water; you've been working hard..." Noelle carried several bottles of water forward and distributed them one by one.
She was attractive, with a face that seemed innocent and pure. Her dimpled smile was undoubtedly charming.
The guards had two boxes of water with them and didn't need Noelle to bring them any, so they didn't accept. "Move along now."
"Oh..." Noelle looked disappointed and lowered her head. Unnoticed, several bottles of water slipped from her arms and tumbled to the ground.
As the guards bent over to pick them up, they didn't notice Noelle tossing a key into the cage holding the mutant.
It was a key to the cage.
