The old warehouse stood silent under the blanket of a starless night, its windows like sightless eyes gazing out at the deserted industrial park. I moved with a practiced silence, my boots making no sound on the grimy concrete floor as I slipped through a side entrance left deliberately ajar. The air inside was thick with the ghosts of machine oil and dust, a heavy scent that clung to the back of my throat. My mission was simple: retrieve the microfilm hidden within a false panel in the foreman's office on the second level. Every shadow seemed to hold its breath, every distant drip of water sounding like a thunderclap in the overwhelming stillness. I reached the metal staircase, its grated steps promising a noisy ascent, so I chose instead the rusting fire escape bolted to the far wall. Each careful handhold was a test of trust in the decaying structure, the cold metal biting into my fingers as I climbed. From my new vantage point, I could see the entire main floor, a cavernous space littered with the skeletal remains of forgotten machinery. A sliver of pale moonlight suddenly cut through a broken pane high above, illuminating a path directly to my target. It felt less like luck and more like a carefully laid trail, and a cold prickle of suspicion ran down my spine. I dropped softly to the upper landing, knowing the most dangerous part of the operation was just beginning.
