potential
alarms that might be there. That would be hard considering the house
was situated dangeroulsy close to 2 other houses and was well lit.
    She
stalked around for half an hour before finding a place to enter.
There was a window on the next house over on the second floor that
lined up with a window on the house she needed to get in to. And both
windows were open. The next house had an unlit side with a generously
wide alley and a window on the second floor that was directly over a
car.
    Max
silently sprinted across the well lit street, managing to stay
undetected. She slid her body on top of the car slowly to insure that
she didn't set off the alarm accidentally. After she made it to the
top she reached up but could just barely reach the window. She pulled
herself slowly up to the window and peeked her eyes over and through
the window.
    It
seemed Max had really lucked out. The window lead to a hallway with
stairs on the right. On the other side was the exact window she
needed to access. She carefully looked around but saw no one. Just to
be sure she peeked over the rim of her sunglasses, which allowed her
to see better. Though she didn't really need to take them off. Her
sight was just one of the things that had improved drastically when
she gained her powers, to the point where she could see perfectly
well even in a dark alley at night while wearing sunglasses.
    Still
she saw no one around still and decided to test the window and found
that it was unlocked. Max slid the window open quite easily and with
no noise. She quietly slipped in, making the minimum crack necessary
in the window to fit through and gently landed on the floor. It
creaked a little under her weight and she tensed up. After nearly
five minutes no one showed up and she quietly crept across the floor.
    Parts
of the floor creaked beneath her miniscule weight and she tensed up
many times. But so far no one had come to investigate. When she
reached the first door on her left she stopped and focused her
senses. She couldn't sense any living thing inside the door, but
decided not to play on the assumption that no one was there. She
hadn't been able to properly test her ability to sense living things
and wasn't ready to rely on it just yet.
    So she
crept on slowly, eventually reaching the window without anyone
finding her. She climbed out and crossed the houses carefully. She
made it inside the other one without being noticed, which was a mild
surprise. She hadn't bothered to check if anyone was watching because
the alley she passed over was well lit and she didn't want to be
exposed for too long. She figured if anyone had noticed her she could
quickly incapacitate them and continue on with her mission.
    She
looked around, find the room she was in was very dark. There was only
one window, which she crouched to the side of while inspecting the
room. It was a very empty and non-descript wooden room. There was
nothing at all in the room except a poster for a concert of some kind
on the door.
    Max
moved across the room slowly and found that the wood once again
creaked a little under her weight. Cursing her luck, she continued
along slowly while extending her sense out to see if anyone was about
to enter the room.
    Once
Max reached the door she opened it slowly and, to her relief, it made
absolutely no noise. On the other side of the door Max found a set of
stairs to her immediate left and a door just across the hall.
Straining her ears, she picked up some minor noises from underneath
the door. Max layed flat on her stomach in the hallway to peer under
the door but the room curved back to the left and she couldn't see
much of anything inside it.
    Frustrated,
Max stood up and thought over her options for a moment. Her best bet
would be to opne the door quietly and slip in. It would be fairly
easy since there was no light and the hallway itself had no windows
of any kind to let in the outside light.
    Silently
standing up, Max grabbed onto the doorknob and turned it.
