Lock Shock And Barrel の小説・ストーリー

Suddenly, he jumps up and asks; "I am not sure what I am looking for, but something like this?" I quickly walk over to him to look at the rod. I see that his rod has a small groove along the length of the rod. I pick mine up to check mine, and it doesn't have one. I put my rod down and head over to get the third one. I check the bottom, and it also doesn't have a groove. Roman asks me; "So, what are we looking for?" I take his rod and show him the groove while explaining to him; "This is the only rod with a groove. I think this lock is like a puzzle. So what we need to do is we need to find the correct order of the rods that match the correct hole."

Knowing that I just need to find shelter for one night I glance around myself, and my eyes fall on the shed that Rick, the bar owner, stores all of the extra chairs in. “Fuck,” I mumble under my breath as I pull my coat tighter around myself. Lifting my knees higher than necessary I stomp through the snow towards the shed. A silver combination lock shines in the moonlight and I growl in frustration. Snow begins to collect on my shoulders as I stare at the lock. “Okay, do not panic,” I give myself a tiny pep talk. “How hard could the combination be if Rick created it?”

"I appreciate your loyalty, Sherri. How's your boyfriend, and how's the lockdown treating you both?" "Well, I don't know about you," Sherri said, "but we've been having sex ten times a day. Quickies, long sex, and the littlest nasty word does get him turned on." "Is he still calling those ladies?" Eve asked. "Not after you had them infected, and put them all in the hospital," Sherri said. "He's more faithful now, and he worships me." "As girls, we have to look after one another." "I hear you girl. I'll keep you posted."

"Larry, you're up." "No problem," Old Larry replied, stepping forward to work on the lock. Ten minutes passed. Then twenty. Larry was still fiddling. "Larry, what's the holdup?" Moe's five companions were freezing. "I—this is a high-end electronic deadbolt! Damn it! How paranoid is this guy, installing something this sophisticated in a basement? I need more time! And it's freezing—my hands are shaking. I can't even work at half my usual speed," Larry groaned.

He was meticulously dismantling the broken lock, surrounded by a small array of tools I hadn’t seen before. “What are you doing?” I demanded, my voice sharp with distrust. He didn’t look up. “The back latch is completely seized. It’s an antique. I’m replacing the internal mechanism with a new, simple marine-grade latch I picked up from the supply store this morning. It will be secure, and it will resist the coastal air better.” “I didn’t ask you to fix it! I was going to call someone!”

Curse energy radiated from it in waves that made my stomach turn. We approached carefully. Every instinct screamed to run but we had come too far to back down now. The lock pulsed faster as we got closer like it sensed our intention. "On three." I repeated. "We hit it together with everything we have." "One." Kael's voice steadied. "Two." I gathered my power. "Three." We struck simultaneously. Gold and silver light exploded into the lock. The darkness screamed. The corridor shook, and for a moment I thought we had succeeded.

They join a queue of people who are grabbing bags of equipment and running back into the main room. “Dim, we need a few more specific bits.” He nods and ushers them down the end of the counter as he leaves another three bags on the counter for the team leaders to grab. “Lockpicks for me, and something for them, maybe the bolt cutters.” He nods, and grabs a small leather pouch of lockpicks, and a set of pastel-pink bolt cutters that have the words ‘Baby’s First Lockpick’ emblazoned on them. Ash raises an eyebrow,

My voice didn't even sound like mine; it was the sound of the beast she had created, finally breaking its chains. I stepped back, drew my Glock 19, and fired four rounds into the lock assembly. The bang-bang-bang-bang shattered the clinical silence, sending the smell of sulfur and gunpowder into the air. Before the smoke could even settle, I delivered a side-kick with every ounce of my weight, my boot connecting with the splintered wood. The frame groaned, the steel groaned louder, and then, finally, the door flew off its hinges, crashing into the room with a violent thud.

I snapped. He quickly shook his head and bowed slightly. “Of course not. The men are still doing a sweep, they found a locker but it wouldn't budge so they're cracking it open. The wood is…sturdy… and the lock on it… we don't know the code. Sam said he couldn't crack through also” Lorenzo explained. “Sam again? He's full of surprises, isn't he? He just decided to be useless today”, I spat angrily. Lorenzo flinched slightly at that but he didn't make any comment.

"Aaron, I've told you something is wrong with this courtyard. Look, they installed an electronic lock on this shabby fence, and astonishingly, it's even electrified. The voltage is so high that even a strong bull could be electrocuted!" Cory had no intention of arguing with him. He was studying how to crack the electronic lock. He initially thought it was just an ordinary electronic lock, but it turned out to be very difficult to unlock. Ten minutes later, Cory declared his surrender. Carlo was shocked. "Aaron, even you can't unlock it?" Cory gave him a side-eye, saying, "If you're so capable, why don't you have a try?" After finishing speaking, Carlo immediately followed him.
