Chapter 3 - SNEAK IN

After dinner, everyone goes back to each own lodging. Thirteen also went back to the living quarter housing 20 slaves inside it. The quarters for slaves only have sufficient living necessity which is the bed. Ten beds of each side.

'I am grateful enough if they provide a futon rather this wooden bed. It seems to make a bed with woods if far cheaper than making a mattress from cotton. At least it far better than lying on the cold floor with old linen as a blanket.'

Thirteen lies of the hard wooden bed grumpily.

" SECOND! Organize out all information from the mess hall and sort it to those conversations regarding inner mansion."

[ Organizing complete!]

[ Search results - There a total of fifteen conversations found]

"Filter those conversations to that can be used to enter the mansion as soon as possible"

[Begin filtering... Complete!]

[One conversation fit the task]

"Only one? I can't ask for more within this short time." "SECOND! Display conversation! "

An audio can be directly be heard inside Thirteen's mind. A conversation most like a whispering between two men.

'You really wants to do this again tonight? If we keep doing this, there a very high risk we are caught sooner or later. '

'Shut your trap! Don't be a sissy. The last time we did it is four night ago. We saw good stuff back then but too scared to take it, tonight we must make up our resolution and steal it. If we can steal it and sell it at two towns away, we can be rich. Imagine it! ' We sneak in tonight]

Thirteen pondered: 'This two fellows should be Wesley and Dunn based on memory. Both of them are servants hired as a chef in the mansion. They planned to sneak into the mansion tonight.'

" This is the golden opportunity. I need to find them right away. Let's hope these fellows haven't sneaked already. "

Thirteen exited the quarter and start walking towards town. He asked around to find Wesley and Dunn. Thirteen found them after half an hour asking around.

Both of them currently drinking what appeared to be some kind of alcohol but neither of them drunk. This proved that they have another plan after this which required them to be sober. A little bit of alcohol must be to give some courage.

'These two probably not a professional at this thieving business', Thirteen conclude.

He walked to them: "Wesley! Dunn! , Sorry to interrupt you both but.. ". He brings his head closer to them and whisper, " I know what your plan tonight and I want in."

"W-what!! " Both of them shocked to the core.

A hint of hostility and also fear came from their eyes.

"I-i don't know what you talking about! ", Dunn stuttered.

" Don't freak out on a small matter. You plan to sneak inside the mansion tonight and this is not your first time doing it. I also know about the next two towns", Thirteen smiles explaining.

" You! " Dunn stop breathing shocked.

" Understand! You in! ", Wesley said.

'Good'

Wesley asked, "how do you know about this and how many more knew? ".

" Just me. And my friend. I won't tell you his name though. Don't worry, he a coward so he doesn't want to join this but not a problem. He won't ever tell anyone about this. We sat closed to you at the mess hall and I have a good ear you see... Oh right, my name is...

Just called me Thirteen".

" Thirteen? You a slave. "

' Correct. Even a slave wants to change his future you know. Who wants to this work which I don't know when I going to be useless and dispose of."

" OK! Meet us three hours later when moon high on the sky", Wesley stated.

" I will be there ", Thirteen walked away.

Wesley and Dunn look at Thirteen's silhouette into he disappeared from sight.

" Can we trust him? "

" Too late. I don't know whether the other friend of his exist or not but his motive is the same as us".

Three hours later. Moonshine brightly high on the night sky. Three of them gather around.

Thirteen asked: "How we're going to get in? "

"By using kitchen's window. During the day, we left a couple windows unlocked. Security rarely checks this area, they prioritize the food warehouse on the other side. "

' Good thing I canceled my plan to steal from food warehouse ', Thirteen sighed.

" Let's go! "
