[b] Baylen - Swindler's Warehouse/Tommie's/Thomas' Apartment - Lancaster/Demaro/Charlie/Danielle/Thomas[/b]

Baylen walked up to Lancaster and surveyed the floor where the soil had been recently disrupted. Baylen frowned, opening his mouth to say something, when the buzz of his vibrating phone sitting in his back pocket went off, cutting him off as he immediately grabbed it. Thomas wanted everyone on call at all times so his phone was never off, always charge, and he always responded as quickly as he could. A text message glowed across the front of his screen from Demaro. "Get back to Tommie's asap. I have something for you." Baylen knew Demaro was given instructions from Thomas so he didn't hesitate. He looked back to Lancaster, who had been waiting for him to tell him the message. "It was Demaro, he has something for me back at Tommie's and it's important. I don't see any forced entry so it looks like someone's just been poking their nose around. Let's get back to Tommie's for now and first chance we get we'll come back to take a deeper look. Maybe it's a better idea to do a full sweep in the morning." Lancaster agreed and led them to his car. Baylen got inside and Lanny revved up the engine, taking off as fast as they could go without drawing too much attention back to Tommie's.

As soon as they drove up to Tommie's, Baylen got out and jogged over to the entrance, walking through and meeting up with Demaro. He was easy to find despite the crowds in the bar. "Hey Demaro, what's going on? You have something for me?" 

Demaro nodded and pulled from his large jacket a manilla envelope that held some papers. "Thomas has a job for the gang. Look these over and meet him in his apartment."

"Will do" Baylen said, taking the envelope curiously. He glanced to Lancaster who had come with him. "You know anything about this?" he asked, raising the envelope in question. It seemed this was something new to both him and Lanny. Baylen opened the envelope and lifted the contents up just enough to survey the first page. This was enough information for him to realize what Demaro had just given him. Baylen's throat tightened. They had plenty of heists under their belts but breaking in to a bank, let alone a volt, was a whole other ball game. They needed the right equipment for this, the right specs, and absolute perfect timing. He hoped Thomas knew what he was getting everyone in to. He turned to Lancaster and told him "Head to Thomas' apartment and I'll be there in just a minute." 

Baylen tucked the envelope under his arm and began walking quickly towards the bar. When he came up to Charlie she was busy helping customers. Charlie gave him a look out of the corner of her eye and a smirk played across her lips. Baylen watched her with a soft grin of his own and patiently waited for her to finish serving the other guests. After a moment, once she was able to pull away she came to Baylen. "What can I get you sir?" she ask with a smile. Then her smile faltered as she saw the look of stress across his face. "Everything ok?" she asked in concern. Baylen leaned forward over the bar, arms resting folded across each other, envelope tightly tucked under his arm. "Yeah, everything is. Another day on the job is all. Can I get a quick shot of whiskey?" He glanced around, quickly making sure no one was looking their way or paying any attention to them. When Charlie made his drink and handed it to him he stood up and leaned forward. "Come here, I want to tell you something." Charlie looked at him a bit confused but leaned forward still. Baylen reached out his hand as their faces got close, his fingers brushing by her ear and in her hair. He leaned forward to give her a soft kiss on the lips, but short enough to lean back immediately, hoping it was quick enough not to be noticed. Charlie blushed but a smile grew on her face. "Why...?" she started, wondering what made him take their restrained relationship to the next level. Baylen grabbed his shot and downed in, exhaling deeply as the burn of the whiskey warmed his throat and stomach. He looked back to Charlie and said "If I don't see you after tonight I don't want to have any regrets." A look of concern grew of Charlie's face but Baylen only matched her frown with a smile. "It'll be fine. I promise." She gave him a weak smile in response but he knew he hadn't satisfied her concern for what he was holding back from her. 

Baylen then made his way towards the back, stepping in to the break room and walking past Danielle who was drawing something. He continued past, not bothering to say hi since she didn't acknowledge him earlier, and made his way up to Thomas' apartment. He knocked on his door and waited for him to let him through, envelope in hand.
