I recalled a lighting trick I used earlier (in the library explosion arc) and made use of it on this page. A really simple thing (just an extra layer with some feathered white circles on it), but I think it works well.
Not a lot of drama in this break-in, but there's no reason there would be. One place where I worked had to give up on the motion detector because squirrels and bats kept getting in and setting it off. Because of pacing, I did have to cut a small part of this dialogue. I was going to have Ashley explain that if someone did show up, they would use the “left medication inside” story that the boys thought up earlier. Anyway, it's not exactly a heist – more of a chance for some character development.
Anubis: Luck is good, but always have a contingency plan.
tupapayon: I just hate all the password rules most services have now. Make it 700 characters long with punctuation and a capital letter but not at the beginning and three numbers. It’s stupid because it makes it had for the person who made it to remember but super easy for a hacking program to crack.
plymayer & ghostrunner: Thanks!
Peipei: Haha. I’ve worked places with similar kinds of codes. Usually, the money is in a safe somewhere anyway. The alarm is mostly for would-be vandals (who are probably not very clever).

Yeah, i'm still iffy on those kidnapper guys. Criminals hardly ever need to feel obligated to do the right thing. Even if they do bring back the book, he could still go back on his word...

Breaking a window not as classy... I have to agree...

Our buddy then would get a phone call from security and they would have to get up in the middle of the night, and go all the way in.

When I used to work in secure spaces/buildgings/etc. we used to throw pencils into the ceiling when our buddies had duty. About 1 or 2 AM, the pencil would fall and trigger an alarm.
