The sky was still dark, but the sun was slowly threatening to take over. Its faint morning rays were the only source lighting their way.
Dinah picked up a small metal device and was silent as she moved. After a few steps, she stopped and listened. There was no movement on the other side of the door and the petite blond wasn’t sure if this was a good thing or not. She looked back at Connor and signaled that it was clear for him to approach.
Connor took a careful step forward. The important item he was entrusted with carrying was making him nervous; he felt like he was holding a bomb. He took another step, his foot hitting something he couldn’t see and he lost his balance. Yelling would give them away, so he bit his lip and waited for the bomb to explode. Roy managed to slip around Connor and assured the item’s safety.
Mia, nervous that their objective was almost ruined, extended her arm to help Connor up. Once the blond archer was standing upright, Mia punched him near his ribcage.
“All right.” Dinah shook her head at them and placed her hand on the door knob, “Ready?”
Roy smiled, Connor nodded, and Mia said, “Let’s go.”
Dinah opened the door and the small person hiding at the end of the line they’d formed ran past them and jumped on the bed, “Happy Birthday, Grandpa!”
After Dinah laughed at Ollie’s grunt from having Lian bounce on his belly, she took the metal lighter and lit the candles. Roy held the cake as everyone sang for a still sleepy, but very happy Ollie.
