He parked the motorbike along the side of a cracked, broken road, then carefully covered it with a tarp and some branches for camouflage. Not far ahead, he spotted the barrier and patrol service hatch beyond the high school's crumbling perimeter wall. After one last glance around, he activated his stealth skill and moved in silently.

His body melted into the dusk, blending with the shadows. No light touched him. No camera or patrol would see his presence.
The hatch gave a quiet click as Theo unlocked it using the override code Commander Brix had sent earlier. He slipped through the narrow opening, closing it gently behind him. Not a sound. Not a light stirred in the darkened perimeter.
As soon as his boots touched the cracked cement of the school grounds, he pulled out his mobile phone and called Brix. "I'm in. Hatch secured. No one noticed."
"Copy that. Good luck in there, Theo. Stay sharp."
