Dragon Master

The bright moon was shining high in the sky. At 2:30 in the morning, Barnaby opened the car door and got out.

Barnaby's steps were light. He sneaked into the gate like an alert civet cat.

He took out the master key he had prepared. Then he clamped the card between his two fingers and swiped it.

BEEP!

The access control made a noise and then the door opened. Barnaby flashed into the building.

Elliott peeked out of the car window. He saw Barnaby flashing into the building and said with his eyes squinted, "Nice move, but we should keep an eye on him. Should he make any mistake, the failure of the whole mission would be on us."

"Whatever you say, sir. We'll be at your service."

"Group one and Group two, guard the front and back of the building. Group four, stay in the car. Group three, get into the building with me. Should Barnaby fail, we'll break into the house."

"Yes, sir!"

The four groups started to act according to Elliott's orders.

Elliott walked into the building with four other people from team three.

Just by then, Barnaby had opened the door of Maximilian's apartment with the master key. He pushed the door open without making a sound.

The door cracked a gab through which Barnaby could get in. He turned sideways and entered the apartment. Then he closed the door.

He closed his eyes for three seconds and then opened them, adjusting them to the darkness in the room.
