"You all know what to do," Elric asked.
He had briefed the plan that needed to be executed back in the cabin. Evelyn had memorised the path from the blueprints. They, along with Alfred, peeked through a pillar, hiding from the record room's guards.
Seeing them nod at him, Elric continued, "Alfred, go ahead. Try to distract them for a brief five minutes. It will be enough for us to enter the record room. And then you come back after an hour so we can slip out of the record room unnoticed."
"Yes, sir," Alfred said as he walked towards the guards to divert their attention.
Evelyn noticed him conversing smoothly with the guards without seeming nervous, which made her smile. She felt Elric elbowing her, indicating her to follow him.
Carefully hiding from the guards they both reached towards a window. Elric, in the squatting position, slowly opened the window which would take them to the other side of the passage, escaping from the guard's eyes.
