Sneak in through the vents

Gloria tried the door to Iris's office, but it was locked securely. She cursed - of course it was never going to be that easy. She was dealing with three of the smartest perverts in the Organization. She would need a better plan than that.

Her eyes darted around the corridor, trying to think of another way. That's when she spotted a large grill on the ceiling.

That's it, she thought. The central HVAC system. That was her ticket to catching the three of them red-handed. She opened a map of the HQ, available to her thanks to her clearance, and looked at the layout of the ventilation system of the building. A plan was beginning to form inside her head.

She located a maintenance closet nearby with an access to what she was looking for. After a short walk, she arrived there and entered the room, shutting the door behind her. As expected, she spotted a large grill in a corner of the room. She used the tools inside the room and a ladder to open the grill. She used her phone as a torch and peeked inside the vents.

As expected, they were dark and empty - but crucially, they seemed large enough for her to crawl through. Yesss, she exclaimed under her breath, happy that her plan was going to work. Unfortunately for her, that's the moment she inhaled a whole bunch of dust, and started coughing. She had to climb all the way down the ladder and steady herself, for it felt like her lungs were full of it.

Does nobody clean these vents, she cursed. That complicated matters. There was no way she would be able to crawl through that dirty space without suffocating. Not to mention, her clothes would be black with the fine dust that was gathered inside. She racked her brain for a moment, and then a solution finally came to her.

She took off her white blouse and simple grey skirt. She folded those neatly and hid them under some supplies - she would retrieve these items once she was finished. Next, she took off her pantyhose and used a water bottle to make it moist. This, she wrapped around her face, making it so it acted like a rudimentary dust filter. This meant she was wearing only her rather conservative bra and granny panties - but it was fine. She would only be like this for a few moments, while she photographed those three degenerates.

She climbed the ladder and inside the vent. Using the light of her phone, she began to crawl towards where Iris's office was according to the map on her phone.

Gloria was clever, but she wasn't exactly a field agent in peak physical form. Soon, she began to sweat profusely. There was dirt sticking all over her exposed skin and her old underwear. On top of that, while the wet pantyhose did stop the dirt from getting through, it also made it hard to breathe.

Gloria's vision began to blur and she felt faint, but she steeled herself and carried on. Slowly but surely, she arrived at her destination - a large grill, below which lay Iris's office.

She used the screwdriver she had slipped between the bra strap in her chest to unfasten the screws. She tried to move the grill, but she was in an awkward position - lying down right next to it. She couldn't budge it. She moved it enough to let her slip a hand through, then tried to push it aside - to no avail.

Now, it was worse - her hand was stuck, and she couldn't move at all. No no no, she screamed internally. This wasn't how it was supposed to be!

Gloria was sweaty, out of breath and almost fainting. She was ****, and it was almost impossible to breathe through the wet fabric. In desperation, she tried to raise herself to free her arm, but ended up bumping her head on the vent above her head. The sound of her skull clashing with the metal produced a dull gong that echoed throughout the building.

Uh oh, she thought. There was no way they wouldn't have heard that. And indeed, she soon felt a small prick on her hand that was hanging down from the ceiling.

Is that a tranq dart, she managed to think - right before her vision turned black.
