Chapter 243 - The Actual Mission (2) (1/2)

As expected the whole place was abandoned and only filled with boxes as both of them entered together, they began to observe their surroundings silently. Rachel was the first one to break the silence ”Some of these boxes may actually contain goods and I don't think we have this much time to open all the boxes.”

Robert handed her a knife ”Tap a little on the top of the boxes, if it does not go in then it is filled with goods and if it does then it contains a person and the top is empty.”

Rachel held the knife and gave him an appreciative look and then began to tap the boxes starting from one corner, Robert began on the other side of the room. It took them half an hour to go through all the boxes but none of them had anything unusual.

Rachel looked at Robert ”What now?”

Robert didn't say anything instead he began to tap the walls with his knife, Rachel was confused ”What are you doing?”

He put a finger on his lips, signalling her to keep silent and she didn't say another word as he continued taping the walls. Rachel could tell that he didn't find anything he was expecting because he was starting to get angry which Rachel could see by the change in the color of his eyes.

She got closer to him and hugged him from behind ”Sweetie relax and tell me what you are doing.”

”I am trying to find a hollow place behind these walls because I an sure they are here.” he replied frustrated.

Rachel kissed him and as expected he relaxed ”You have to be patient, let's look together and we will find something.”

He nodded and then Rachel began to tap the floor with her feet trying to find any hollow sound under her but she didn't hear anything.

Robert silently sneaked behind her and asked ”Did you find anything?”

It was uncalled for and she got scared, the knife from her hand went flying into the air and was stuck in the roof. She placed a hand on her chest ”Can you not keep sneaking on me, you scared me.”

She turned around to see the excited look on Robert's face as he looked at the ceiling, she followed her line of sight and saw him staring at the knife that flew from her hand. She didn't understand what he was excited about at first but then her brain began to work again and she almost gaped ”Oh my God”

Robert placed a hand on her mouth ”Don't shout!” saying this he removed his hand and now Rachel whispered ”So the roof was hollow, these people are cleaver no one would ever check it.”

Robert had a serious look on his face and he replied in a ”Hmm” and then began looking around to find something to reach there.

Rachel understood what he was doing and said ”Let's move a few boxes under it and we will climb them.”
