FW- BOMPs- one stealth mission

The BOMPs. I once belonged to this group. The acronym stands for Bored Old Mill People... and our goal was to do crazy random things, including what we called stealth missions. Unfortunately we had to have a culprit, so there was this girl, we will call Rachel who was the center of our missions. Well, we were actually friends with her, and knew she was a good person, but she was so random that it was easy to come up with false stories to keep us entertained. So, one Sunday night I am in bed, and ready to go to sleep when I get a phone call that went something like this, "Code red, stealth mission. Downstairs. Katy's apt. NOW! Repeat. Code red." So I promptly got out of bed and went down the stairs, I saw Rachel and waved hi- she was talking to a guy in the ward. Well, I knock on the door and hear someone slam into the door before it is "pulled" open only to be stopped by one of those chains that goes across on some doors. They see me and have to close the door to release the chain before letting me in. The moment I am in, they lock the door behind me. The whole apartment is dark, and I hear a harsh whisper, "Get down!"
So I crawl on all fours to meet the group. Apparently Rachel has been seducing and abusing the poor guy in the ward (not really- but you see, we have to save him). Well, she knows we're in there, so we have to climb out the window into the indoor solarium that all the apartments lead out to. Once inside we exit out of a different door so it may appear as if we've been in a different apartment for quite awhile. Well, at this time, Rachel gets in her car and drives off to her secret lair of course and we have to follow, because any plans she might make we have to stop.
Katy, Logan (our unofficial leader) and I decide to take a casual walk around the building to see if she has simply parked on the other side- no such luck. But Logan claims he knows some of her "spots". He tells us that he is out of gas, and we soon find out, so is Katy and I. We can't break the Sabbath, and so it seems our mission is doomed.
Then Logan walks over to a car- not his and says, I'm going to hot wire this car. Katy and I laugh, thinking he is joking. He then proceeds to open the door, get in, he reaches down and the car starts. Katy and I are dumbfounded. Logan yells to get in. I go over and climb in and look at Logan, saying, "Please tell me you did not hot wire the car" He doesn't answer until Katy gets in, but I did notice there were keys in the ignition. After we are driving he says that it's another guy's car in our ward who had given him open permission to use it whenever- he had other means of transportation.
Unfortunately we never did find Rachel that night, or discover her secret plans to do, who knows what would be next. But we did have a very entertaining night, as always with the BOMPs! :)
