188 Trap (1/2)

Laz couldn't say he was surprised by Vivi turning into a human as he had his suspicions long ago. He knew she would tell him when she was ready and he was content to just wait until then. It was still surprising to see that although she was barely two in human years, she already had the body of a thirteen to fourteen year old when she became human. It spawned more than a few questions in his mind about how long she would live and if her life cycle would be more like a human or was she going to have the body of a twenty four year old when he turns 18? Either way, that was something to address later as now wasn't the time.

As Laz made his way along the side of the compound wall, all he could think of was what the hell was this? There was no way a house this small should have this many guards. It wasn't like it was some sort of military installation. Despite that, ever few meters, Laz encountered groups who seemed to be standing by and waiting for something. He couldn't help but think that the person they were waiting for was him and that was alarming.

When Laz finally reached the back of the compound, he stopped looking for a quiet way in. It was apparent that there was no free spot with which to safely pass the wall and get to the main building so Laz had to come up with some other plan.

Using his spiritual sense that human technology couldn't do a thing about, Laz discovered that for all the security on the other side of the wall, there was no security in the wall. There were camera's placed here and there along the side, but they were something that was there before and Laz could easily avoid them. They weren't meant to deal with him. As Laz was pondering what to do, he noticed that a few of the guards seemed to be talking.

”What the hell are we doing here?”

”Shut up. What's it matter anyway? We are getting overtime so we might as well just enjoy the nothingness around us.”

”Come on. Really? It doesn't bother you that we are doing guard duty for some rich little shit out here in the middle of shit country?”

”You're getting paid, right? What the hell is the problem? Best part is, we don't have to do anything but watch for tresspassers. Worse comes to worse and we find one, we just subdue them and boom, instant bonus per head. This is why the private sector is so much better that government work. Sure, the job is more dangerous, but at least you can get rich pretty quick.”

”Still though...”

”Get over your emotional issues and keep your eyes peeled. I'm going to get a drink. It's fucking hot out. Want something?”

”Nah. I'm good.”

”So be it Rookie. Keep you're eyes on the prize and if you get one, you're splitting the bonus with me since I brought you.”

”Sure thing.”

Laz couldn't help but think this was a stroke of good luck. After all, for anyone who has ever been a teen and watch a lot of movies and shows, they always had a few ideas on what to do in this sort of situation. Laz was going to test one of those ideas out right now.

Laz leapt over the wall without making a noise and snuck up on the younger guard who happened to be similar in size to him. The guard was somewhat unlucky as he had decided to relax in a camera blind spot, one of several that existed since the house and security wasn't built with being a fortress in mind. Without so much as a word, Laz struck the young man on the back of his head, causing him to drop like a rock. As soon as this happened though, the dog he was holding on to became alarmed and turned to find Laz starring at it. before it could so much as whimper, Laz's eyes turned a deep blood red as he make eye contact with the animal, causing it's body to shudder as it ended up emptying it's bowels on the spot in fear. Just as Laz was about to kill the guard outright, he noticed that the guard had tranquilizer rounds and couldn't help but smile.

”Consider yourself lucky,” Laz said as he grabbed a round and jabbed it into the mans thigh before the injection mechanism took over, pumping the liquid into him. Although Laz had no idea how much was in there or if it would kill a normal person, he figured at least this gave the man a fighting chance.

Laz quickly dragged the man back to the bushes by the wall and stripped his clothes before changing into them and putting his clothes in his little pouch. Although they were a little big, that was still better than them being small. That would look even more obvious. After having done this, Laz once again checked to make sure they were still in a blind spot before walking over and grabbing the dogs leash. He then stood there and pretended to space out while waiting for the other man to return.

That didn't take long as the older man came back quickly. Even though he had no problem with wondering away to get a drink or whatever every now and then, he wasn't so stupid as to ignore his job completely and get kicked from the detail. That would have been a very poor business and career choice.

”Hey, brought you a water just in case,” The man said while passing over the bottle to the disguised Laz.

”Thanks,” Laz replied in a voice that was rather similar to the young man's. After having heard him speak, Laz was able to copy the younger man to a certain degree. As long as he didn't try to say anything else. The only reason the older man didn't recognize Laz was because both were wearing helmets along with sun goggles and face masks. Even if it was blazing hot out, as long as they were on duty, they had to be in uniform.
