Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

The narrator said, "The vampires walked to the museum in disguise. Being vampires, the cameras couldn't film them, so they were safe from having their picture taken, but the museum was still full of people, so they needed to keep themselves on the down low." Once inside, Matt pointed in different directions, and the vampires split up to steal their target. While inside, Carolyn and Raven checked to see if the coast was clear. When it was, they took off their disguises and put on the black spy suits they had underneath, including the hoods. Then, they crawled into the vents and changed into rats, making traveling through easier. Once Chris reached the control room, he snuck in, grabbed Nathan, the security guard watching the monitors, and tied him up. Now that Chris was at the controls, he took off his disguise and put on the black spy suit with a black hat he had underneath. Then he plugged his vampire hard drive in to see his friends on the monitor. Chris called his friends on his headset and said, "Guys, all vampires are visible, and it's trophy season."

While Chris was in the control room, he spotted his friends on different monitors except Carolyn and Raven, who were already in the vents. Chris then checked on all his friends and called them on his headset. Chris saw Matt on screen and said, "Matt is in position. Maddy, are you Blue Jay suited?" Dressed as a security guard, Maddy talked to Chris on her earpiece and said, "Check." Chris said into his headset, "Be sure to stop by the control room for security clearance." Matt said, "After that, head for the target." Maddy headed for the control room dressed as a security guard. Once she arrived, Maddy knocked on the door, and Chris took Nathan's key card and threw it under the door to Maddy. Maddy picked it up and spoke to her friends on her earpiece. Maddy said, "Key #1 retrieved." Matt talked to his friends on his earpiece and said, "Well done, Maddy. Angelica and I will get the second one. Chris, keep working on the dangers." Chris said on his headset, "Will do."

The narrator said, "Matthew and Angelica met up in the main hallway to the curator's office and walked there to get his keys for their heist." Once they arrived, Angelica turned into a rat and squeezed under the door. Once she got inside, she saw the curator doing his paperwork. Angelica then hid and changed back into herself without the curator noticing. Angelica then used her earpiece to call Matt. Angelica whispered, "The curator is present. We'll have to think strategically." The narrator said, "Matt thought about it and devised a plan." Matt called Angelica with his earpiece and said, "I have an idea. Just be ready to steal the item." Angelica spotted the curator's keys on his desk and said, "Item present." The narrator said, "Matt knocked on the door, and Curator Gerald answered it. Once he did, he didn't see anyone there, so he thought maybe he just imagined it. And while he was distracted, Angelica stole his keys off his desk." Angelica turned back into a rat and ran off with the curator's keys while Curator Gerald shut the door. Angelica then threw the keys under the door and then got out herself. Then she turned back into herself, picked up the keys, and said, "Item secured." Matt took the keys from Angelica and said, "Well done, Angelica." The narrator said, "Now that the vampires had the curator's keys, they could unlock any lock in the museum they wanted. The vampires then headed to the trophy's room from different directions. 

Angelica, Maddy, and Matthew met up and used their keys to get into the trophy room. Matt said, "Maddy, we need a security guard to talk to the other security guards." Maddy said, "On it." Maddy approached the security guards and told them that Curator Gerald had told her she should take their place because they were needed in the Egyptian exhibit. The security guards then left, and Maddy winked at Matt and Angelica. Matt and Angelica approached the door, and Maddy used the security key to open it. Maddy called Raven and Carolyn on her earpiece and said, "Girls, we're in. How close are you from the room?" Carolyn used her earpiece and said, "We're getting close." The narrator said, "Carolyn and Raven continued in the vents as rats while Matt, Angelica, and Maddy walked into the hallway leading to the door with the trophy's room behind it, and Chris kept an eye on things from the control room."

Once Maddy, Angelica, and Matt reached the door, Matt used Curator Gerald's keys to unlock the door and enter. Once they got inside, they found the trophy to be awarded to the mayor in a display case in the center of the room, surrounded by laser beam alarm triggers. Maddy whispered to Matt, "I think I know why nobody has ever succeeded." Chris spotted Matt, Angelica, and Maddy in the trophy room but didn't see Carolyn or Raven. Chris called the girls on his headset and said, "Girls, are you on your way?" Raven used her earpiece to call Chris and said, "We're in position and almost there." Raven and Carolyn changed back into themselves, wearing black spy suits in the vent above the trophy case. Raven called their friends on her earpiece and said, "We're above the trophy case." 

Once Matt heard her, he, Maddy, and Angelica removed their disguises and wore black spy suits with hoods like Raven, Carolyn, and Chris. Matt took a step forward and a laser shot at him. Raven and Carolyn then dropped their rope out of the vent, and a laser destroyed it. Maddy peered into the room and looked at the ceiling. Maddy said, "Hmm. Motion sensing lasers." Chris called the others on his headset and said, "Designed to shoot at anything that comes into that room without clearance, so our shapeshifting won't work." Carolyn said, "Then will we get in?" Maddy said, "Wait." Maddy used her earpiece to call Chris and said, "Chris, did you say anything without clearance?" Chris said into his headset, "Yes." Maddy said into her earpiece, "I have clearance." Maddy slipped the security card through the transparency unit and turned off all the traps in the room, including the lasers. Chris checked the room and said, "Ok, all is clear."

The narrator said, "Angelica and Carolyn flew out of the vents as bats, and when they reached the ground, they turned back into themselves and joined the others." Matt then used the curator's keys to open the trophy case so it would be easy to take. Maddy tried stealing it, but Chris shouted, "No!" Maddy stopped and listened to Chris. Chris said into his headset, "Maddy, if you take that trophy, you'll trigger the silent alarm." Maddy said into her earpiece, "I thought all the dangers were off since we have clearance." Chris said into his headset, "They are. But these guys aren't fooling. They put in a hidden, silent alarm that only shuts off from the control room in case crooks tried stealing the trophy." Raven said into her earpiece, "Maybe that's why this job has never succeeded." Chris said into his headset, "I'll work on turning the alarm off so you guys can steal the trophy." Matt said, "And while he does that, Maddy, disguise yourself as a security guard again and guard the door." Maddy said, "I'm on it. Just give me five minutes." The narrator said, "Chris continued overriding the system and saw an error."

Matt called Chris on his earpiece and said, "Did it work?" Chris used his headset to call Matt and said, "It's not letting me in." The other vampires called Chris on their earpieces. Raven said, "Check your system preferences." Carolyn said, "You probably need to restart your computer." Matt said, "Turn it off and on again." Chris called the others on his headset and said, "Oh my gosh, you fixed it." Matt said, "Really?" Chris said, "No. Time to turn this baby on beast mode." The narrator said, "Chris pushed a button on his control panel, and it expanded his keyboard. Then, he started working on the system, and his override started taking effect. Once it went through, Chris turned off the silent alarm and told his friends it was safe."

Once Raven heard him, she stole the trophy, and they stuffed it in Carolyn's backpack. Carolyn called Maddy and Chris on her earpiece and said, "Item secured. Now that we have it, let's get out of here before someone catches us and calls the police." The vampires left, and Chris took his hard drive back so nobody could prove he was even there. The narrator said, "The vampires met up in the main lobby with the trophy in Carolyn's backpack. And since they got the job done, they all high-fived each other simultaneously, but before they left, they realized they had to return the keys they stole." Matt, Angelica, and Chris returned the curator's keys to his office while Maddy, Raven, and Carolyn went to the control room to return the security guy's key card. Once they got to the curator's office, they did what they did before. While Chris and Angelica hid, Matt knocked on the door, and Curator Gerald answered it. Once he did, Angelica snuck in with the keys as a rat. Then she changed into a bat, flew to Curator Gerald's desk, and dropped the keys.

The narrator said, "Once the keys were returned, Angelica flew through the window, and Matt and Chris left when Curator Gerald shut the door. Matt called Carolyn with his earpiece and said, "The keys are returned. How's the card?" Carolyn looked in the room and saw Maddy untie Nathan and give him his key card back. Carolyn said into her earpiece, "Returned safely, and the security guard has been let go by Maddy, the security guard." Matt said into his earpiece, "Excellent. Report back to the car and bring that trophy." The narrator said, "The vampires walked out of the museum in disguise with the trophy in Carolyn's backpack and couldn't wait to see the looks on people's faces when they saw the mayor would be awarded nothing."
