Chapter 52 - 53

You whisper your plan in Lapu's ear, and the boy takes off to the north, keeping to the shadows as he goes. You're not sure how he intends to make the distraction, but you're sure he'll find a way to improvise.

A shriek of metal rends the air followed by a sharp crash. In the opposite corner of the building, you can see that Lapu has torn down a streetlight.

It's not elegant, but it's done the trick, you think to yourself. Both guards rush off in the direction of the disturbance just as Lapu completes his circuit of the building, nearly colliding with you in his haste to get clear.

"Mission accomplished! Hope I didn't go too overboard."

You point at the unguarded front gate of the building. "You did just fine, Lapu."

Instructing the boy to shadow your movements as closely as possible, you break for the entry door. 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.
