She has but to continue

Valerie felt her heart sink. She had planned for Hawk to take her clothes with him, returning them to her once they had rescued Iris. Now, her destroyed underwear was in a trash can, and her bag was at a security desk somewhere, out of reach. Her suit was the only clothing she had left.

"I'm heading to the terminal.", he said in her earpiece after he had left the room. She steeled herself as she began to crawl forward.

The building's security was multilayered, needing both of them to coordinate with each other. The next step of the plan was for Hawk to reach a maintenance terminal, using it to open a ventilation hatch for her. That hatch would allow her to get into the building's data center, where she could get the access keys needed for the rest of the mission.

She crawled silently through the vent towards her destination. The temperature inside was extremely hot, and soon her entire body was slick with sweat. She felt her suit clinging to her skin, beads of sweat forming on her body. The material became stickier in response to the increased temperature, making her stop occasionally to adjust the fabric riding up her butt.

After many minutes of crawling, she heard a faint ripping noise. Nervously, she checked her sleeves and the other areas of her suit she could see from her lying position. Everything seemed fine. Dread filled her mind as the source of the sound dawned on her. Since she was lying down, there wasn't an easy way to check the damaged area.

Lying on her stomach, she lifted her hips as much as she could. She brought one hand under her body, using her fingers to check between her legs. Her findings confirmed her fears. The small tear she had made had widened. Her entire labia was exposed as the vertical tear had become circular. In a silver lining, the tear had made the suit contour itself perfectly around her tight butt, making her hopeful that the damage wouldn't spread further. As long as she kept her legs closed and didn't turn away from them, she should be okay. She could subtly use one of her hands to cover her crotch from the front.

She was brought back to reality by Hawk's voice in her earpiece. "I'm at the terminal. Are you in position?"

"Almost there", she replied, resuming her crawl towards her destination.
