"Cause a distraction, he says. Draw attention, he says." Roman rolled his eyes and looked to Neo, waiting for her to do the same. "What are we, a couple of no good crooks?"

Neo tilted her head to the side and then nodded.

"Huh. Good point." With a final puff, he flicked his cigar aside. "Well, at least we've been promoted from child-finding duty. That's got to be a good thing."

And looking up at what the boss had asked them to break into, it certainly looked like they were moving up in the world.

"I've never broken into a huntsman academy before."

Sounds fun, Neo's smile seemed to say.

Haven was in uproar.

Roman was good at what he did.

Jaune walked in the front entrance without being challenged – and why not? Haven was a Huntsman Academy. It didn't have closing hours. Some students were still milling about, though they'd been called over the PA systems to return to their dorms in the face of an unknown attack on the school.

A few teachers charged by, headed deeper into the school to apprehend Roman and Neo.

"Please stay in the lobby or the cafeteria, sir," one called to him. "We'll have this dealt with soon!"

"By all means, go." Jaune waved a hand. "Do what you have to."

"Thank you for understanding!" The woman who had come by to help him in Leonardo's absence rushed away, speaking loudly into her scroll. Helping a guest such as he had to come second to an attack on the school itself, and the academy, like Beacon, was open to visitors within reason. There was no problem in leaving him to the main areas.

After all, what harm could he do?

Roman and Neo should have taken out the camera systems by now, he thought, slowly walking toward the main hall where the statue stood. They should be retreating, but that still gives me a good hour. More than enough time.
