[color=f7941d]"Okay Elissa, listen carefully now. We're a late delivery,"[/color] Patch began, taking Owl's arm carefully as he began to lead her around the building towards the target warehouse. [color=f7941d]"But we were ambushed by a masked gang and our van was stolen, along with the gear we were carrying. Don't worry about details on that, if any of them ask what our cargo was just tell them we were told not to ask, and so we didn't. Got that?"[/color]

Turning away for a moment Patch peered around the corner towards the warehouse, trying to spot how many guards there were on the perimeter. From his vantage point he could only see three, two standing guard by the entrance and a third just walking around the far corner of the building heading towards him, obviously on a patrol route. His plan relied on Owl and his ability to draw as many guards away as they could, and that relied on them all being as close together as possible. If too many were patrolling around the building rather than guarding the front entrance then his plan would just alert the guards to the fact that hostiles were in the area.

[color=f7941d]"We want to try and get the guards to leave the warehouse, to go hunt down our van."[/color] Patch continued, turning back to carefully examine Owl's reactions, [color=f7941d]"Failing that we just need to keep them out of the building long enough for Fox to get up to the roof, get inside and plant the explosives."[/color]

He was still a little worried about the emotionally fragile girl. If it was his operation he'd just leave both of the others behind in the car and climb to the roof himself, but that would involve having to dodge far too many guards and cameras inside the building, even with Archangel's off-site support. The best plan was still a divide-and-conquer move, but he was starting to worry about who was being divided and who was going to be conquered.
