Harlan listened as Ai started to tell her what they should do to enter the building. "Easy. You and I will simply merely change into what the CIA agents often wear, and go right on in." Ah, Harlan thought, rather pleased with the plan. Sneak right on under their noses and take the documents from them without realizing it. I'm starting to like this plan." She was wearing something that the agents would normally wear; a suit with a thin tie. He had something similar to that in the boot of the car, though he needed to go and get it before entering. She revealed the ID badges. "One of them is yours, and the other is mine. You are to change at least into a somewhat-semi-formal attire. I do assume that you always have more than one set of clothes in your car ready, yes? Otherwise, I can happily lend you some."

"Of course I have a spare set of clothes that are ready," he retorted, smirking at the sarcastic attempt that she had made. "I never leave my apartment without them." He got out of the car and walked around to the boot. Popping it open, he looked around it to find the bag that had the suit in. A few minutes later, a curse came from his are. "Fuck! My suit is not here! Where the hell did I leave it?!"

"Of course I have a spare set of clothes that are ready," he retorted, smirking at the sarcastic attempt that she had made. "I never leave my apartment without them."

"I wouldn't be surprised if you had forgotten," Aria said with a grin. She was always prepared of course, her guns hidden in the proper places for when she need to withdraw them. "And it would be just this once." She tilted her head to the side as she watched him get out of the car and towards the trunk. She wasn't surprised to hear a curse word with a following sentence.

"Fuck! My suit is not here! Where the hell did I leave it?!"

She only grinned. "I was really sarcastic, you do realize that right?" The parking garage was mainly deserted, with very few cars in the area that they were in. Aria walked back over to her car and opened her trunk and found that there was indeed several sizes of suits. She pulled one out and measured it out to him. "Ah, this will do." Instantly, she patted him down rather closely and intimately for that one heated moment before nodding and pulling away and handing him the suit. "Here you are." She smiled mischievously as a glint touched upon her eye. "Now, do you expect to change clothes here? Or in your car? Or even in the building?"

Of course, the last remark was a joke. It was going to be difficult to sneak in otherwise. And she seemed to imply she wanted to see him change right here, where he could probably do that with nothing to worry about as he could probably do it very quickly, unlike that of a woman. Then again, Aria wouldn't have minded to change in front of Harlan, after all, he was going to have to be her partner whether she liked it or not, much to her displeasure. She waited expectantly before she said anything else. When he finished, she walked over to straighten the tie and the suit before slipping the ID into his hand.

"Let's go."

Then she briskly began to walk in the direction of the CIA building...

Harlan growled when Ai had made her comeback before he noticed that there was something missing from his trunk. ”I wouldn’t be surprised if you had forgotten. And it would be just this one.” He looked around the trunk, throwing stuff from the boot, ranging from old newspapers that were stained with blood to used knives and gun clips. In the end, he grumbled as there was nothing to be seen in the trunk. He put the stuff back in, listening to her about his misfortune. ”I was really sarcastic, you do realize that right?” Again, he grumbled, noticing something that looked similar to his suit bag. Giving up looking for his suit, he stood there as she patted him down, measuring him for something that was inside her car. Shortly after that intimate moment, she handed him a suit. ”Here you are. Now, do you expect to change your clothes here? Or in your car? Or even in the building?”

“Oh yes…” Harlan retorted. “I am definitely going to change my clothes inside the building. How about we paint targets on our foreheads, making it easier for them to shoot us?” Grumbling again, he got changed quickly, not caring if she was there or not. “If I get changed in the car, it gives Damien more time to think about ways of making the test harder for us. We need to be efficient and quick. This is why I am not changing in my car.” One minute later, he was completely dressed, his black suit looking similar to what the CIA agents were wearing. He adjusted his tie, making him look smarter than he was before. Not before long, Ai completely ruined that look by adjusting his tie even more, shifting it slightly to the left. He placed the ID badge into his pocket, adjusting his tie for the second time.

”Let’s go.”

As she walked towards the CIA building, Harlan briskly placed his pistol and knife into the holders that the suit had, making it look like he was an official agent, and followed. 10 minutes later, they arrived at the doors to the building, both of them walking through it. The reception had an air about it that was similar to a hospital’s reception. Busy and filled with people that like to moan. Harlan had shown his badge to the receptionist, allowing him access to the inside of the building. Once in, he pulled Ai into an empty room. “Ok, now that we are in, we need to find the room that has the documents in.” He handed her something small. “This is a communication device that I have made. This goes inside your ear, but it will allow you to hear me as if I am right next to you. If one of us finds the room, we call the other one and get the documents. No maverick stuff. You got that?”

(( -attempts a post and hopes it's not crappy- ))

Aria ignored his statements and comments regarding to changing inside the building, ignoring also the sarcasm that was inside his comment as well. Then they were inside without a problem and again, Aria ignored the complaining people that sat outside in the lobby and followed on after Harlan when he showed the receptionist his badge and she did the same before entering what appears to be a much quieter area of the CIA building. However, before she could say anything to Harlan, he suddenly pulled her into a nearby empty room without her permission, much to annoyance. And what's more, he was giving her orders. Yuck.

“Ok, now that we are in, we need to find the room that has the documents in.” He handed her something small. “This is a communication device that I have made. This goes inside your ear, but it will allow you to hear me as if I am right next to you. If one of us finds the room, we call the other one and get the documents. No maverick stuff. You got that?”

She did as she was told and placed the small device into her ear, discovering that it was a lot smaller than she had imagined. She only nodded before she hissed at the last comment, forbidding her independence. Suddenly, she pushed him against the wall, despite her small size, aware that no camera was in this room, thank goodness as she hissed with a searing glare. Her fingers were curled in the collar of his suit and with strength that betrayed her, she murmured in what seemed to be a deadly threat, "I don't take orders from a man who thinks he is better than I am. We are both equal, no matter what or who we are or where we came from."

She released him with great tension before continuing, adjusting her suit, "I get it with the 'maverick' stuff, as you put it, but I will not be afraid to follow through on my threat back at GA and as you do to me as well. I already know where they stored the files. It's on the sixth floor of this building in the informational department, next to the area where they do the investigations of the criminals and the like. Where we are going, it's going to be dangerous territory... as we are professional hitmen, are we not? So that would make us deadly wanted by the CIA and FBI and pretty much every other freaking investigation team."

Before he could reply, she left the room before he could. Already, she headed down the hall, glancing back at Harlan to come out and they headed down the hall towards the elevator as a couple of workers came over, glancing them over.

One of the females in the group looked over at Aria and Harlan and commented, "Ah, are you two new?"

Aria only nodded, unaware to the females and everyone here that her face was completely covered and out of view from any cameras here in the building.

"Ah, newbies always have difficulties adjusting in, what floor are you going to?" she asked and suddenly, Aria felt irritated. She was already pissed off at Harlan for giving her such an order, but for something as insignificant as this bothered her. She must have a screw loose today. Sounding almost stressed, Aria sighed before merely weakly smiling at the woman before turning to Harlan.

Her voice automatically no longer sounded like her own as she spoke in a Polish accent, despite her Asianic appearance, "Yes, we are new, right?" Then she turned to the female, "But we do not need of your assistance, but thank you anyway." And smiled lightly before the elevator door rang its bell and several workers walked in. Careful, she made sure she stepped out of view of the camera and made sure Harlan did so as well...

Harlan felt his entire body being pushed against the wall, Ai being the one behind the force. He looked dead on into her amber eyes, his green irises having flames inside of them. He listened to her as she spoke to him. "I don't take orders from a man who thinks he is better than I am. We are both equal, no matter what or who we are or where we came from." He snarled at her, feeling her hand release from his collar. The first thing that he wanted to do upon his release was to hold her down on the table, letting her know that Damien had left him in charge of the operation, so his orders were rather needed. He carried on listening to her, his eyes glaring at her in anger. "I get it with the 'maverick ' stuff, as you have put it, but I will not be afraid to follow through on my threat back at GA and as you do to me as well. I already know where they stored the files. It's on the sixth floor of this building in the informational department, next to the area where they do the investigations of the criminals and the like. Where we are going, it's going to be dangerous territory… as we are professional hitmen, are we not? So that would make us deadly wanted by the CIA and FBI and pretty much every other freaking investigation team."

He muttered under his breath as she walked out of the room, just before turning his earpiece on. "No need for the bloody lectures. I know everything there is to know about this operation." He followed on to the corridor, where he noticed Ai walking to the elevators. While she had talked to them about being the new colleagues in the building, Harlan looked up at the camera. He was out of the line of sight of the camera, so his face was not seen. He looked at the path that the wires are going, noticing that they were going up into the higher floors of the building. Once she had finished speaking to the workers, he followed her into the elevator and waited until they reached the 6th floor. While he was on the 4th floor, he noticed the camera on the floor had wires leading on to somewhere on the floor. He moved just before the elevators closed, leaving Ai to go to the top floor. When he reached the end of the trail of wires, he walked into the room, opening and closing the door behind him.

He looked on through the many televisions that were inside the room. Each screen had something that was related to the building that the hitmen were in. One guard was sleeping on the chair that was in front of the console that controlled the camera screens. Pulling out his silenced pistol, he aimed the gun at the base of the neck and fired. Instead of the neck erupting into gore and blood, a tranquilizer appeared, causing the man to choke on nothing. Then, it he went silent. Harlan picked the man up from the chair and threw him into the closet that was inside the room. Once the door was locked, he turned and focused on getting the cameras sorted out onto the 6th floor, exactly where the documents were. He spoke up, hoping that Ai wasn't near anyone at the time. "I am in the control room. I will be able to turn off the power to the security measures in here, but the maximum amount of time you would need to get the documents and get out of there is 5 minutes. After that, if you are still in the room, you are on your own. I will not be able to deactivate the system again for another 24 hours."

The first thing Aria noticed was when Harlan got off the elevator on a different floor and automatically assumed that he went to the control room. Even without his prompt, she knew. It was... figurative that she would know where he would go. After all, the room that she was going to go into had a camera in every corner as well as security.

Just as she got out of the elevator, by herself, on the sixth floor, she heard the voice of Harlan crackle to life in her ear.

"I am in the control room. I will be able to turn off the power to the security measures in here, but the maximum amount of time you would need to get the documents and get out of there is 5 minutes. After that, if you are still in the room, you are on your own. I will not be able to deactivate the system again for another 24 hours."

"Roger that," was all she said and when she saw the tell-tale signs that the security was down, she immediately ran towards an open computer on this floor that she knew that held the files. She plugged her USB drive into the computer and immediately began to download the files she needed as her gloved fingers skimmed over the paperwork to find the file paper that she was looking for.

Four minutes.

The USB drive was still copying and she had not yet found the file she was looking for. She could very well hear the time tick away as her time limit made her rush all the more quicker, still being quite accurate as she continued to look for the file carefully and without losing track of her original goal and not letting the time get to her.

Three minutes.

The USB drive had finished and she unplugged it from the computer and left a Trojan in its place for deleting any files that had information on the GA as well as herself and Harlan. Luckily, it was quickly done and it quickly disappeared when it finished its job. She continued to quickly skim the paperwork until she went to the next pile.

Two minutes.

Feeling the pumping of the adrenaline through her veins, she worked faster and quicker as she continued to look...

One minute.

Just as the time hit one minute, she came to the last pile, quickly skimming until she discovered what she was looking for. She grabbed it and opened it, her eyes looking over it quickly to verify that it was the file and then swiftly taking the file and then running towards the elevator.

Thirty seconds.

She had pressed the button to the elevator to make it come to her floor.

Twenty seconds.

Immediately, she noticed that the elevator had been all the way on the first floor as she watched it make its agonizingly slow pace climb back up to her floor.

Fifteen seconds.

She watched as it hit her floor, ringing that it's opening its doors.

Ten seconds.

By then, someone would have noticed that someone had hacked into their computer and was looking for the perpetrator. By then, Aria had already stepped into the elevator calmly and the door was closing before they realized that it was her and ran towards her. She had pressed the fourth floor, realizing that they must immediately leave before they caught them. This was getting very dangerous.

When the elevator reached Harlan's floor, he was already there and came in just in time as the door shut and guards were finally notified of the situation.

"Brilliant job," she murmured as they entered the first floor. Those on the first floor didn't notice them yet as they calmly tried to leave the building, only to be pushed aside into an abandoned room when security came around the corner, blocking their exit. They hid inside the room and tried to regroup.

"Now what?" she hissed quietly, her amber orbs watching everything, observing everything before she were to make a move. They were in an awkward position, her body pressing close to his own, crouching on the ground as they were hidden behind a desk. They had no yet noticed that they were behind the desk yet...

The only thing that Harlan could do is watch and wait as Ai had worked on the computer, copying the files that were needed for their mission to succeed. He took out the clip that held the tranquilizers and inserted the clip, the live ammo now filling the chamber. He had a feeling that the way out was going to get busy, with the CIA knowing that someone had infiltrated the building and had taken important documents. He counted the minutes left for her to get the files and get out of there before the security measures were activated again. He already said, metaphorically, that if time ran out, he would have to leave her behind and get to GA and report on the mishap. "Come on, Ai. Get the files and get out." He heard the door behind him open, suddenly realizing that the man he had in the closet was near the end of his shift. He wouldn't be able to change his clip to tranquilizers before the man behind him would alarm him of his presence. With a sigh of relief, he turned around and fired, the silencer silencing the gun. The man cringed as he was gunned down. By then, Harlan was already on his feet and caught the man before he could fall backwards and alarm the others nearby. By the time that he placed the dead body in the closet as well, he realized that the 5 minutes were nearly up. He looked at the camera and was glad that Ai was leaving the room. A sigh of relief left his lips. He turned to the controls and activated a countdown for something to be activated and left the room, heading towards the lift.

As he approached the lift, the lift doors opened and Ai was inside. Harlan walked inside the lift, slipping past the guards that had noticed the blood in the control room. He listened to her about the mission as the lift went down. "Brilliant job." They walked through the first floor, trying hard not to be noticed by the guards. He urged her on out of the building, looking at the time on his watch. Unfortunately, the security were in their way of leaving the building altogether, pushing them into an abandoned office. They hid inside the room, their bodies pressed against each other. "Now what?"

Harlan looked down at his watch, checking the time. "I've already got something sorted out to help us out. We make our move in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…" Before he even finished the countdown, the building shook, the roars of an explosion heard inside the building. A few seconds after the initial shock of the blast, the fire alarms went off, the sprinklers spraying out water throughout the building. "Now… we leave out through the front door and back to the car park." Although it was an outlandish plan, with their clothes getting wetter by the sprinklers, the guards that had blocked the way and noticed his head slightly above the desk.

"Sir! You'll need to evacuate the building! There has been a terrorist attack!"

Harlan looked above the desk, seeing the man watching him. "I'll be out in a sec. I ju…ju…just need to g…g…g…et my ner…ves sorted out." His acting, though rather terrible to those that know him, fooled the guard to think that he was a frightened office worker. The man left the doorway, heading in the direction towards the stairs to the higher floor. His green eyes then looked into the amber eyes that were in front of him. "Shall we go?"

"I've already got something sorted out to help us out. We make our move in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…"

"Really now?" was all she said as she then felt the shaking of the building and the roar of the tell-tale signature of an explosion. Then after a few seconds after the explosion, she flinched as the water from the sprinkler system, showering her in water. She could already feel the water make its way down and through her clothes, soaking her to the skin.

"Now… we leave out through the front door and back to the car park."

"Yes, now we can so do that!" she hissed before the guard came over and spoke to them.

"Sir! You'll need to evacuate the building! There has been a terrorist attack!"
"I'll be out in a sec. I ju…ju…just need to g…g…g…et my ner…ves sorted out."


She stifled a snicker, resisting the urge to laugh. She knew that there was no way Harlan would be like that. By then, her clothes and suit was completely soaked through to the bone. She waited until the guard left, but then, Harlan spoke up again.

"Shall we go?"

By then, her face was incredibly close to the male partner of hers, but she had disregarded the intimate moment as she nodded and got up, making way for the door. When she did so, her hair rippled down her back, gluing itself to her back and her form. The suit no longer provided to hide away her petite frame, as it now clung to her like a second skin. Even her hair streamed down her face, water pouring down from the ceiling like it was rain. However, when she made for the door, some policemen made quick work and had discovered that the work of the explosion was done by someone from the inside, as it that floor had only been cleared about ten minutes before. There was no way someone could have made a bomb before then, but the bomb that caused the explosion in the next ten minutes, must have been made quickly.

"Sorry, ma'am and sir, but we're going to have to make you stay inside here with the rest of the workers here while we investigate every one of you for the possibility that the bomber might be one of you," the man said, clearly appreciating the view he was getting from Aria's form. She let a moment of flickering anger touch upon her face, but the man didn't see it.

"Yes, Detective," she said softly, sounding scared as one worker should be. But the Detective noticed Harlan and kind of slinked away as he asked a question that perked up interest in Aria.

"Are you together... with..." his eyes gestured towards Harlan.

And Aria only smiled mischievously, leaving him to wonder if they were. She pulled him by the arm as they entered the emergency exit staircase.

"Harlan, I do guess that it's time for us to make our getaway, but not from the front door," she murmured. "Have any plans?" From the smile on her face, she seemed to have figured that he would have had a back-up plan. She wanted to hear his first before she did anything...

They were dry here, the staircase being a source of an exit point. So they were dripping water onto the concrete floor, leaving Aria some time to glance over Harlan's form again, but this time, under wet circumstances. She had to admit, the time he changed outside before in the parking garage was different from now; after all, his clothes were wet and also clinging to him like a second skin.

Harlan was unable to hear what Ai had said to him as the explosion rocked through the building. He was pleased that it had succeeded in the bomb, since it was something that he had concocted himself so the bomb would disappear or blend in with the debris that was the control room. He didn't even feel sorry for the incapacitated guard that was in the closet, since his body would have been burnt from the explosion. Now that the job was done, it was time for them to leave the building altogether. He ignored the intimate moment, with her face close to his. Shortly after she got up and walked to the door, he followed her and noticed one of the guards was speaking to her. "Sorry, ma'am and sir, but we're going to have to make you stay inside here with the rest of the workers where while we investigate everyone of you for the possibility that the bomber might be one of you."

Shit!
he thought, not believing what he was hearing. The plan didn't work?! After all this time preparing for this mission and getting everything sorted out, it didn't fucking work! While Ai was talking to the guard about the bomb and the investigation, Harlan was thinking of ways that they could get out without having to face those that are looking for them. Even with all of the time to think of something to do during the car journey here, he didn't anticipate that this would happen. He should have thought of every aspect of the mission. He lost his concentration when he felt his arm being pulled into another room. He turned towards her and listened to what she had to say.

"Harlan, I do guess that it's time for us to make our getaway, but not from the front door. Have any plans?"

"Of course I do, toots! I always have a plan for fucking EVERYTHING!" He was allowing is anger to get the better of him while his mind raced for a solution to their dilemma. "I haven't thought that this would fucking happen during the mission, so I am a bit short handed with plans at the mo…" He suddenly looked around the area where they were in. It was when he realized that they were in the emergency stairwell did a plan start to form in his head. He looked further up the stairs to look for something. "I have a plan, but we need to get into the elevator shaft. Once we are there, I can lead the way out of this building without too much fuss." He turned towards her, his green eyes looking into hers. "Do you want to take point to the shaft?"

Aria watched as the light-bulb went off on Harlan. Amused, she watched as he began to form a plan in his mind. It was interesting for her to see something like an instantaneous plan form in someone's mind. One rarely actually watches it happen like the way Aria was right now.

"I have a plan, but we need to get into the elevator shaft. Once we are there, I can lead the way out of this building without too much fuss." He turned towards her, his green eyes looking into hers. "Do you want to take point to the shaft?"

Before she could even say a word, the police began to run down the stairs and up the stairs towards them. Already, they were ushered back into the wet area of the building, much against their will as she heard one of the men in the suit say, "You should not be in here, stay in the foyer."

The sprinklers had turned off, thank goodness, but that did not prevent the other men in the area to oogle her. Disgusted, she hid herself behind Harlan, unable to dry off properly without completely undressing herself.

"Shit," she hissed to Harlan. "There goes your idea... we're stuck here. We have to get out of here by another way that does not use the elevator shaft." She watched as the police began to shut down the elevators one by one, each of the remaining open on their floor that they were on. They couldn't go through the stairs to get to the elevator shaft, they couldn't leave through the front door, and they couldn't leave the building through the offices.

But Aria had an idea.

"Do you have any other bright ideas? Because I have a plan if you don't." She was wary, her eyes skittering between the police and the detective, making sure that they would not come their way to ask them questions.


(( that's all I could muster. >_< ))
