Cross squeaked in fear and grabbed the two, towing them behind a bunch of boxes that were stacked to the ceiling. She carefully set her bags on the ground and put her finger to her lips to tell the two to stay quiet. As if they didn't know that already. Then something came to mind. "They'll know we've been here..." She whispered.

Jack peered through a gap between the boxes to view the workers coming in, fear (like the rest of his emotions) was amplified thanks to all the sugar in his system. One of them was a large girl, taller than she was wide, but still a little on the chunky side. She was blond and in the typical uniform of a manager.
The person with her was a skinny man, slicked back hair and dressed in the garb of a stand worker. They were probably here to restock the shelves.
Both of them stopped and stared at the mess of the once-neat stacks of candy. Bags of cotton candy were strewn about the room, candy bars littered the floor, the Hershey pile was now significantly smaller. Not to mention Twizzlers on top of some of the unopened crates, and Skittles smashed on the floor. Their reaction would no doubt be an explosion of some kind or another.

Hotaru managed to stay calm under the pressure thanks to so much expirence of being in similar situations with her old gang. She watched silently as woman, apparently the manager, recovered from a short moment of shock as she jerked her head to her companion.
"What happened here?!" she shrieked loud enough to break their eardrumbs.
The man stuttered, also surprised. "I- I don't understand." he tried telling the manager. "I was just in here a while ago-"
"Well then how did this happen?!" the blond asked him loudly.
The two continued arguing as she redhead rolled her gray eyes. Why was it everywhere she went lately a staff member just happened to get in trouble by his/her boss?

Jack held back a laugh, he didn't think he was being mean for almost laughing at something funny. There was nothing wrong with laughing right now.
"I-I swear! I don't know how it happened!" The man wailed, arms up in a pleading gesture. Jack half-expected him to say 'please spare me!' too, but that was probably hoping for too much.
"Then figure it out Herby!If you don't find out what happened you don't need to bother coming back!" The woman roared, spittle flying from her reddening face. Herby gave hurried and nervous nod before the woman stomped out of the room. Herby's face quickly turned into a look of disgust, miming the woman's words in the way of children.
"'If you don't find it out don't bother coming back'" He repeated, making a face afterward. "Bah! Who does she think she is?" A few curses followed his tirade as he stepped on more candy. "AND WHO THE HELL MADE A DRAWING OUT OF CARAMEL!?"
Jack giggled a little as his drawing was found out. It was soft enough that the man wouldn't hear it though, not unless he had 'nosey old lady senses' that was.

Cross had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing. It was rather funny but she needed to figure out something in order to get out of here...
"Any ideas?" she barely whispered to Phoenix. For once Cross was stuck...

Hotaru grinned at what she was seeing, but paused to think when Cross whispered to her. What could they do? Her mind certainly wasn't as jumpy as that of Cross' or Jack's at the moment, so ideas didn't really come up so quick in her head. She turned to Jack, a similar look as Cross on her face.

Jack was suddenly aware of the feeling of being shark bait, small, focused on, and extremely paranoid. He looked between Cross and Hotaru, both had their looks fixed on him and he blinked. Ideas on what to do! Right!
He looked around, attempting to see what there was to use here. A ladder! He waved the two girls over to him as he investigated. it was a column of iron handles leading up into the far-up gloom of the storage room. "We can climb up here and... uh..." He scanned the ceiling, noting a few beams going across the room. "Then we can get up there and figure the rest out as we go." He nodded.

Cross nodded and started off to the ladder, quietly climbing it.
"Where did all the cotton candy go!?" The guy yelled. Cross silently chuckled as she held onto her candy bags with her mouth. She looked down to see if Phoenix and Jackie were following.

Hotaru grinned and laid a quick and quite kiss on Jack's cheek. "Good boy." she whispered before going up the ladder. A slightly larger smirk tugged on the corner of her lips when she heard yet another comment from the worker.
"Great, now all the Star Crunch is gone, too!! What next--" he yell before slipping and falling forward on a wrapper of Twix.

Jack grinned happily and snickered softly as the next cry of outrage came around. "What the- HOW THE HELL ARE HALF THE CHOCOLATE BARS MISSING!?" A few swears followed.
The Ookami followed the girls up the ladder, perching himself happily on the wood-and-iron beam near the ceiling. He had to duck his head on account of how close the ceiling was, but it was worth it to see the worker slip on meted chocolate and fall into a pile of skittles, sending the fruity candies exploding in a shower of rainbow tablets all over the floor.

Cross crawled across the beam towards the entrance. She stopped when she was a little over the guy. She turned to whisper to Phoenix. "Tell Jack to chunk something in the far corner behind some of the shelves. Distraction." she whispered near silent.

Hotaru followed Cross until she had stopped and turned to her. The redhead nodded at the request, and turned to Jack. "Cross said to throw something in the far corner for a distraction." she whispered quietly to him.

Jack nodded and searched his pockets, like hell he was going to throw away his candy. He had a cell phone, an MP3 player, a few balls of lint, and a small stone that looked like Abe Lincoln. He decided to throw the stone and chucked it into corner farthest from the door and away from the ladder lest 'Herby' find his prey.
The stone hit the cement with a clatter, the man whipping his head over to see the source of the noise. "Ah HA!" He yelled, dashing for the corner of the room.

Cross chuckled quietly and positioned herself on the beam, getting ready to make a jump. "Okay, we're going to drop down from here and run out the door... Try and land silently." She whispered to Hotaru. "Land on your toes with your knees bent." She finished as she dropped herself down, landing as such, she crept out of the room through the open door and waited outside for the other two.

Hotaru nodded, following Cross' lead and jumping down silently. She walked out of the room and stood beside Cross and awaited for her boyfriend to join them. There was a small grin on the Tora's face, this had been pretty fun, she couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
