"Stay here, let me go and investigate," he said. He then quickly went toward it. The guard who had been heading towards the gate for the shift exchange also joined and went to join the other guide.
My distraction had worked. I looked back at the guards as they both went behind the bushes I had come from to investigate.
With no one at the gate I ran towards it. The next 10 seconds were extremely crucial.
I reached the gate I took out the keys i had stolen and quickly began.
My fingers were shaking as I quickly began trying the keys. There were ten keys in total attached to the same hook. As I tried to unlock the gate, I realised I was on camera. They could see what I was doing. Hopefully, they hadn't noticed me yet.
The first key didn't work.
I felt my heart rate increase as I tried the next one. For god's sake, why were there so many keys? Would I have enough time to check all ten of them? Hopefully i didn't have to go that far.
