Alex glances around and spots a trash can. Quickly, she pulls her weapons and the coil of rope out of her bag and drops the bag and the rest of its contents in the trash. It would only get in the way while she was climbing, and she doesn't want to take the chance of losing it and accidentally leaving it behind.

When she hears Evie's whistle, she waits another few seconds before moving. She got rid of the guard awfully fast, and Alex can't help but wonder whether it was too fast. What if Evie was just pretending to have taken out the guard, and Alex was about to get a nasty surprise?

She walks down the street quickly but cautiously, keeping her eyes on the shadows, looking for even a hint of movement. Once she arrives in front of the building, she pauses again, surveying the wall she's going to have to scale. Sheer, made of brick - difficult but not impossible. She finds a handhold and hauls herself up, relying on her strength to pull herself up the wall pretty much by her fingertips.

Finally, she's able to grasp hold of the balcony, and pulls herself onto the edge of it as quietly as she can, sticking close to the wall and hopefully out of sight of the people in the room. She can hear their voices clearly now - or rather, Millicent's voice. A man, presumably her guard, only occasionally chimes in with a word here or there.

Alex glances up, looking to see if Evie's there, or if there's someone else watching her, before she makes her move.
