Just watch my back.

[Poking around in the dark is probably more suspicious than trying to quickly pop this door open. He fishes his set of tools from his pocket and crouches down, testing a few in the lock before he finds one that fits nicely.

There's a real technique to this, jiggling these pins by fishing around in them until they stick in place in order. It's not a technique he's mastered and he's definitely slower at it than, say, Clicks would be. But he's pretty sure he can do it.

A few minutes in, though, and he already sees a problem. This door is just one door - there's a second just past it, one of those collapsing metal gate things that also has its own lock or two. It's going to take ages to get all of these done.]


No, fuck it, there's gotta be a better way. They got a window that don't have bars on it?

[He'll keep working at this lock, but maybe she can look for something better, because he's really feeling exposed here in this light.]
