Chapter Text
First Person POV (Avery)
We were walking through the sewer, trying to get to our target. It was a lot of climbing. It also didn’t help that Harry got us lost. And Harry and Nate were making childish jokes the whole time as we made our way out of the sewer. I swore I was gonna kill them once this was over. We made our way out and continued through the sewer, navigating broken pipes that let out hot steam. It was hot, and it also smelled horrible.
Luckily Nate found the shutoff valve for one of the pipes and we kept pushing forward. The whole time I got this feeling like something was going to go wrong. Harry seemed to adamant about doing this job, and it seemed too simple. I know this museum was suppose to be impossible to break into, but we had a decent plan.
Before I could express my thoughts, however, we had made it to the courtyard. Well the courtyard gate that is. The three of us took cover beside the gate, waiting for the guard to pass.
“Okay, now there should be a door just around this corner. That’s our access point.” Nate told Harry.
“Just stick to the plan, okay?” I reminded Harry.
We kept pushing forward to go through the door.
“Tell me you didn’t miss this.” Harry teased us.
“We’re here aren’t we?” Nate shot me a glance.
We went through a room of stuff, and found the door. Though, it was locked. But Harry brought lockpicks. But they were useless unless we turned off the alarm. Which Nate and I did. And for all the gates that came ahead of us as we navigated around the guards in the courtyard. Then we had to use tranq guns to take care of the guards before getting to the building we were gonna use to get over to the roof to the window.
Then we used the roofs to navigate to get to the window. And after a long while, we made it to the window. Harry had tossed a rope down and had Nate and I go down first.
I should’ve known then he would try something. We found the lamp glass. Since Harry had the lockpicks, the alarm didn’t go off.
Nate ended up destroying the lamp and finding a clue. But there was blue resin that when lit, it revealed a piece of paper was a map. And it turns out, Marco Polo had found Shambala and had the Chintamani Stone.
Nate and I stayed behind to put the fire out, which is when Flynn revealed he betrayed us. He pulled up the rope, leaving us in the dust. And Flynn shot the glass, setting off the alarm. He left us for the guards! Nate and I ran through the museum, hoping we’d find a way out without going to prison. But the guards caught us as we came up from the sewer.
For three months, Nate and I were locked in a prison cell. And for three months Nate and I replayed that moment in our heads. Turns out Chloe found Sully and had him help us. Nate was less reluctant to listen to Chloe. If she was with Harry on the betrayal, I figured she would’ve left our asses here. So I had Nate hear her out at least.
And as Sully told us, Harry and his client had found the ships in Borneo. Turns out, Harry’s client was Lazarevic. And in that prison cell, we made a plan. Have Chloe lead us to their camp, and steal the stone under them. Payback’s a bitch, Harry Flynn.
And as we sat around the table back at the hotel, we discovered from Chloe that Lazarevic paid top dollar for Marco Polo’s journals, and that one of the journals mentions a very large blue sapphire that would fetch a pretty penny. And Chloe was gonna give us a diversion, which we specified needed to be an explosion. Now we were on our way to Borneo. Where payback, and hundreds of thousands of dollars awaited us.
