Episode 11 -Touch down!

I was on the roof of Blubersvale. I walked over to the edge and looked down. I felt like I had conquered something, I was probably the first 57 year old to stand on the roof of Blubbersvale. I reminded myself to ask Justin for an award for it later.

I walked over to the center of the roof, where I knew the ventilation pipes were. Of course, I wasn't going to climb in. This wasn't a movie. It's common knowledge that those air vents were built to take AIR, and not an aging tub of lard like myself. If i had climbed in, I would have fallen directly onto Lukinor's bed. Hmmm... maybe that wasn't so bad.

I opened the vent and i dropped in the remote-controlled camera ball Justin had given me. That ball was magic, the size of a toddler's fist but equipped with night vision, infra red detectors and a camera that gave the controller a 360 degree view of it's surroundings. It had a foam coating which made it silent too. It looked exactly like a child's toy. Completely nondescript, perfectly sized, and most important of all, it gave me a free look at Lukinor while she was sleeping, hopefully in a transparent nightie. The wonders of Justin Twubber would never cease.

The ball rolled. Silently, stealthily, it emerged in Lukinor's home. I followed the balls movemment through a lens placed in my goggles. I navigated the ball through her living room and into her bedroom. i could hardly see her through the green glare of the night vision but there she was, sleeping like a baby. Albeit in pajamas and covered with a blanket but at least i knew she was sleeping. i didnt come all the way here just to look at her in a nightie anyway.

I navigated the ball out of the bedroom and began to explore the whole house. Once my reconnaissance was complete and i found no living soul other than Sleeping Beauty, I checked my watch. 4.06am, more than enough time to break in, plant the cameras and beat it before she woke up.

I walked over to the edge of the building, and stuck yet another wonder of Twubber onto the ledge. This was a tiny disc, about the size of a music CD, and about 2 centimetres in height. From it, I pulled out a thin line of wire, and secured the wire to a little device on my belt. I had never used a device like this before, and if the wire snapped i'ld fall to my death, but i had to trust Justin's equipment now. I stood on the edge, staring down into oblivion for the second time in an hour, again thinking about how fast the floor would rush up to me if i fell, and again, i stepped over the edge to possible death.
