The Bleeding Sun
cleaning spray on the
two security cameras to ensure the security personnel wouldn’t get
a clear footage of what was going on. He quickly moved to the
service elevator and pressed the button to bring up the elevator to
the 17 th floor. After that Lucas took the main elevator and moved up
to the 18 th floor.
     
     
    The hallway was
still empty. He headed to his room and brought Sam’s shaving foam
from the washroom. As he headed down the hallway towards the
service elevator, he ensured that he sprayed the foam on each of
the cameras. He forced open the service elevator door and stepped
down on the elevator car to obtain his backpack. After securing the
same, he used the grappling hook to pull himself up back to the
18 th floor. On his way back to the room, he wiped off the foam
from the security cams on the way. So by the time the security guys
came up to check the glitch, the cams would be up and running once
again causing minimal sense of alarm.
     
     
    Sam was still lying unconscious as
Lucas opened up his backpack and started assembling his stuff. He
took out a couple of C4 sticks and the smoke grenades. He would
need them to create utter chaos during his exit plan. He carried
the explosives with him along with the pistol and his goggles. He
also took out the Swiss knife and secured it in a special
compartment on the sole of his right boot. He wore the goggles,
changed the color of the glass for easy visibility at night and
turned the inbuilt infrared lights on so that the cameras could not
detect his face. He also took out a few spare tracking patches. He
put the rest of the contents in the backpack and headed out of the
room.
     
     
    He went to the
service elevator shaft and attached the bag to the cable using the
grappling hook. He also closed the elevator door to ensure that no
one would suspect that something was wrong. After this, Lucas went
down the emergency stairs to the 17 th floor and attached a C4
stick to the fire safety system itself. The detonator was embedded
which could be detonated remotely using his watch. He headed to the
49 th floor first and called up the service elevator. Next he
headed back to the main elevator and went to the
50 th floor to meet Romanovich. It was time for
showdown.
     
     
    While the elevator was moving up,
Lucas stacked another C4 stick to the elevator’s ceiling after
removing the shaft. He also placed the smoke grenades there so that
once the C4 was detonated, the whole elevator shaft would be
covered in smoke. This would also ensure that all elevators
including Romanovich’s express elevator was rendered useless. He
had made enough arrangement to create a panic. He surely would not
be able to carry the pistol with him while meeting Romanovich. So
he had to think of an excuse for carrying one.
     
     
    The elevator
came to a halt at the 50 th floor. Romanovich’s
personal guards were waiting outside the penthouse. Any visitor had
to go through a pat down before they could head over to meet
Romanovich. Lucas could clearly see four heavily built men waiting
at the main entrance. They were surely carrying firearms and looked
equally capable in hand to hand combat. The symbol of ‘Viper’ was
tattooed on two of their necks. These guys were the very cream of
Rosmus’s notorious and battle hardened security agency. Even before
they searched him, Lucas handed over the pistol suggesting that
being a CEO of a rapidly growing company, he had developed multiple
enemies worldwide and hence he always carried the same for
self-defense. However he would not need the same for his meeting
with Mr. Romanovich and hence the security personnel should keep it
in their custody.
     
     
    After a thorough pat down, the
Viper operatives determined that Lucas did not possess any other
form of weapon with him. So after a brief discussion with someone
on the phone, Lucas was allowed to enter the penthouse while they
kept the pistol in their custody. Lucas was happy. No matter how
many times
