''Uh, guys...where is ya? ''Estellia wondered as she stayed in her little hole. From the looks of it, everyone was held up outside.

"I'll see what I can do. If you can slip your picks under the door, that'd be great." C'mon, Ingraham was very, very happy to teach everyone in the house athing or two about picking locks.

With an eye on her HUD's motion detector, Stella checked behind her and duck-walked to the door. I love being a faunus... she thought to herself as she examined what she was up against. And of course, the easy solution of turning the normal lock from inside wasn't there. Y'know, I think that's a liability in fires, you can't get out quickly...

Based on the battle data against Master's elites, she ruled that Acidic dust was not viable and thus left that at home. Her normal tactic of jamming an acidic blade into the deadlock and cutting it off was out of the question.

Looking back in the laundry room, there had to be something back there she could use. Another duck-walk back and she found some safety pins; better than nothing.

"CATSAI, 10x zoom. Lock-on." Her HUD zoomed way in on the lock and her cybernetics began compensating for the natural shuddering of the body as she got to work. The artificial zoom on the HUD made it easier to tell when it was working despite all the security measures.

At this point, Honara and Garnet were 99% sure someone planted those bodies earlier. Nothing else could make sense.

"So, I wonder...if there's nothing to else to investigate and Laelia's heart is still beating, should I just call Estellia and tell her to collect the money and go home?" Honara asked as she stared into her cup of coffee as if it held the answers...

"That's what I'd do." an older eliminator said as he leaned on the microwave in the employee break room, making himself a nice snack before his assignment.

"Hhmm" Honara replied in concurrence. "Still, there's one more loose end we need to check..." the rattlesnake took a sip.

All the older man had to offer was an approving smile "Glad to see they kids are knowing that." as he retrieved a bowl of ramen from the microwave.
