"I was thinking we should have a scout set up at all times, just to make sure that we're on constant surveillance of the warehouse. Then, we can plan the entry strategy from there."

I frowned, shaking my head. "Guns blazing' isn't the move here. If anyone is in there, we might be better of slipping in quietly-take them by surprise. We'll want to take at least a few men out, assuming their numbers are higher than ours, before they even notice we're there."

Suddenly, the sound of the door sliding open caused us both to look up. Nina strode in, one hand resting on her swollen belly. She paused in the doorway, glancing at the scene in front of her, before stepping in.

"How are the plans going?" she asked.

I shrugged. "As good as they could be. What are you doing here? I thought you were at yoga."

Nina seemed to tense a bit at my words. It was still strange, mixing the normalcy of prenatal yoga with the absurdity of our world. But she merely held up a paper bag and plopped it on the table.
