Strong Enough (4)

I furtively checked around me to make sure no one was watching, then I darted into the alleyway. I followed the alley to a small, unremarkable bungalow. I quickly changed out of the disguise I had on into one of a high ranking slave in the king's palace. I asked the owner of the bungalow to help me get my hair just right, and she willingly obliged. I stepped out of the house, kept my head down, and made it look like I was on an errand for the palace. I picked up some groceries, then made my way to the palace. I quickly walked through the side gate, with my head down, and hurried to the kitchen to deposit my goods. I then went to a servants quarters that I knew would be empty, flopped on the bed, and fell asleep. I woke a few hours later, when it was dark. It was the middle of the night. Now would be a good time to sneak to the records room.
