Haytham stepped away then and around the block until he came upon the site listed in the papers he had glanced at. There was a troop of soldiers on patrol, marching back and forth, and four fellows standing in front of the door to a large shed. It must have been commandeered by the Navy as a storehouse for the supplies.
The patrol would be easy enough to handle. They were not being led by a Commander all he need do is take on a commanding tone and set up to the group as if he actually held some kind of authority over them.
"You lot, what are you still doing here? Haven't you heard the ships are under attack? The pirates have already sunk one of them! All land patrols are being recalled to secure the harbor!"
The lead guard stammered but Haytham didn't give him much time to come up with an excuse or too long to think about just who was giving him orders.
"Well, don't just stand there gaping man, get a move on!"
Those of the Navy were so used to being given orders and following them without a second thought that they rushed to do just as Haytham had said. They saw only the uniform and not the lack of Command insignia. Those guarding the door would still be a problem but the patrol was out of the way now. Haytham smirked as he returned to collect Korra.
"I managed to send a patrol of soldiers away but there are still four guards watching the supplies."
