“We’re going to climb to the top.” You have to go for the most stylish option.
“Right on.” Oliver has no qualms with this decision as he makes his claws sturdier. “I have a rope to drop in case you want me to go first.”
“You know, you gave me an idea.” You grab the rope that he’s holding, put the invisibility cloak on, and eventually, it covers Oliver as well. Then you drop it to make the former terrorist visible, then turn off your invisibility too. “Like it?”
“It’s amazing.” Oliver likes this idea a lot. No more words to be exchanged. “How long can you maintain that?”
“Not as long as I would like, you’ll have to be fast, Leo.” You can expand your cloak, but it takes a lot of energy. If only Carol was here with her musical buff, this would be a breeze.
“Count on me, Phil.” Leo Major will overcome any challenge.
The Sneaking Squad’s strategy is set! But before the operation goes on, you asked the Distracting Force to be ready to let you know if Carmela escapes. Her ability is all about moving fast, so it’s likely she’ll run away once danger presents itself. Henry says they’ll do what they can, but the entire team will be on the field, including George, since he’s used to Henry’s powers by now. Lord Gargoyle fixes the issue by leaving one of his clones (Left Hand) to watch over the situation with his phone in hand. He says he’s amazing enough to outdo everyone without an arm! Also, he’d rather keep as many clones around as he can, so this is the only one who will part from the main group.
With everything established, the operation commences! Henry, George, and Lord Gargoyle move to the front of the building, while you, Oliver and Lord Gargoyle (Left Hand) wait on the outskirts.
Henry and George stand behind Lord Gargoyle as he sets up fireworks to cause a commotion. It’s rather effective! And by effective, you mean loud. To your surprise, three mafia goons come out of the building looking for trouble. You know they work for the Youhao Clan because Oliver recognized them.
“What is the mafia doing here?” You wonder. Neither Nina nor Neko mentioned anything about the mafia.
“My educated guess is that they are here to eject all tenants inside to secure the building for demolition!” Lord Gargoyle (Left Hand) explains. “Like they always do after every disaster. Exceedingly scummy if I say so myself.” There’s no admiration in Lord Gargoyle’s voice. This isn’t the kind of evil that he endorses.
“The Madam of Shrubbery didn’t mention any suspicious activities around!” Oliver crosses his arms.
“To be fair, we had one night to survey the area.” You point out. This isn’t ideal either way.
Henry, George, and Lord Gargoyle are having a rough chat with the mafiosi that are bothering them. It isn’t escalating just yet, but it soon will.
