"Well we won't know until we get there. So, let's check it out.""Okay! Let's find out the truth and get to the bottom of this."Completely shocked that such a simple question could set Ace into hyper mode so easily, she could do nothing but squeak an inaudible protest as she was dragged to the Town Hall's entrance, but before the trio could enter, the Mayor along with a classy looking couple, strolled out of the building, all the while, the Mayor had a nervously eager expression plastered to his yammering fish head. Shuddering a bit as Ace had grabbed her hand, she detested physical contact, but didn't want to be rude to the newcomer so she planned to deal with the shared bacteria later.
"If we walk in their calmly, do you think they'll ignore us? Or, um, should we distract them then sneak in and find the files? This is crazy. Do we walk in or trick the rabbits...we'll need bait though. If...if you pick the second plan, I'll volunteer."She gagged and felt her breakfast rise to the top of her throat, but she swallowed it down. Her simple question not only fired them up, but it sent them thinking that they would be breaking in! How ridiculous. All she planned to do was go in there, ask for an authority figure, inquire about the documents and possibly see them if they were allowed. But these two, oh my cream cheese bagel, were actually thinking of
stealing the information!
"Ah! Bu-but-", she began, but was quickly cut off.
"Wait, wait. I'll volunteer for that. No offense, but I think I'll do a little better at distracting than you. Besides...I have the experience. And I'm sure you two are smarter and know what you should be looking for. And I don't wanna shift through papers."Her breathing began to quicken as she cupped her ears, seeing Ace playfully grab one of the bunny soldier's carrot rifles.
'No, no. What a huge mistake. This is not what I meant at all!' Turning to Harper, her eyes alarmingly wide and wild, she grabbed him by the collar; almost choking him.
"Are you two out of your mind? We'll get caught!", her clasp around his shirt released itself and she repeated in a terrified whisper,
"We'll get caught." She brought a shaking hand to cover her mouth. There had to be another way to get them. Not like this. Not like thieves! Grabbing Harper, she yanked him into a closet as a bunch of bunny soldiers hurried to the scene where Ace was bullying another of their kind.
BAM! Realization hit. They would've never let them see the papers in the first place. This town had been hiding it. The Mayor keeping quiet, not telling them anything. That wealthy duo from earlier, he's trying so desperately to pull his town out of the gutter. Soon enough he would need those documents destroyed! Incarcerated, Burned. Forever lost.
Jasper slapped herself across the face and looked straight into Harper's eyes.
"Let's get em'", she opened the closet door a crack and checked to see if the hallway was clear. Grabbing her male partner by the collar, now becoming her go to place to get a hold of him, she tugged him out of their hiding enclosure and towards the end of a dark corridor with multiple doors. Letting go of Harper she stared dumbfounded at the many possibilities.
"Which one?!", she whispered hurriedly. Almost a hundred percent sure he wouldn't know where to start either, she noticed that the rooms had labels.
