Split second

Once I got back to the hideout with Noi, Yan had done some prep work to a job, it was kind of a big job, or at least big by my standards. He began going over the heist in front of the white board filled with blueprints, pictures of the place, and several drones that hovered around outside." Okay, listen up, double for you Noi." He pointed to the hectic cat girl." This job will have us split into two teams with Gaz the leader of team two and me the leader of team one."

As he said that I raised my hand as reclined into the couch."How come my my team is team 2? I want to be team one."

" Gaz we can fight about team names later I'm going over the plan."He tried to get back on track." Team one will be Me, Ven, and Noi at a shipment hanger getting the containers ready for you guys."

I raised my hand a second time." Hold, Hold up. I want Ven this time around, she's with me I'll trade her for Ash."

The red myr woman leaned forwards to look at me giving me a sour look."Why? What does Ven bring that I can't?" She held out her arms probably feeling confused.

"Well, thinking about it now Ash you don't really do well when the situation is stealth." I thought of a word to say besides, she's still kinda chubby and the armor is loud, then I thought, fuck it." Plus Ash you're still chubby and that armor is heavy and fucking loud if you haven't noticed." Noi began laughing."All you hear is a just a series of heavy footfalls then security is calling the cops because of a fat myr is running around in heavy armor with a light machine gun like she's gonna shoot up the place."

"Fine then, you bastard!" She crossed her arms

"He's right, you know, plus you might actually be more use than Ven would be, we might get into more of a shootout than the other team will." Yan attempted to calm her down." Now team 2, you guys will be sneaking into the car shop and looking for the keys for the show cars."

For the first time, I was actually surprised that Bates actually said something." Wait aren't show room cars just fakes? Or are they gutted?"

Just as surprised as I am, Yan took a second before he answered." No, showroom hover cars are actual cars on the they take from a lot. Now before you Ask Gaz, I paid an inside guy to fuel them up and get them ready, we're only stealing a couple of them."

"Yeah, no shit when there's only six of us." I brought up.

"Unless you can find someone to take another spot to help us, then I doubt it will help us." The big guy told me.

Thinking about it, I did know one person that could help us, but I couldn't tell if they were ready or if they were well enough to help us."Actually I might know somebody that may help us and not those fucking assassins."

Yan put a hand on his chin, thinking about it."Are they trustworthy?"

I thought about it a second time and decided this is probably not the job to bring them in on." Yeah, but we shouldn't bring them for this, might be too much for them in their current state."

"Fine then." Going over the plan one last time and telling us to finally shut the fuck up, Yan went over the new improved plan." Alright, here's the plan, Team one will be at the Hanger and securing the area and making sure nobody ruins the plan or stop us from shipping the cars into the containers. Team two will be at the car shop getting the keys and stealing the show room cars, remember this must be done without the cops showing up, no matter how much we could try, I doubt any of us could tell Aliens that bullet holes, warped metal, and melted paint are a feature of these cars. Anything else I need to go over?" 

All of us told the large man, "No" at the same time before we geared up and piled into the van. The drive to the car shop Yan told us about was a short ride it felt a bit different though, once we hopped out of the van, I grabbed a gym bag before he took off to take care of his part of the heist. Once he was off, Ven stared at me before looking at the store for a brief moment." Uh, Gaz I should've said this earlier, but I don't think I'm exactly. Uh stealthy."

"What?! But how did you get my mask back?" I asked." Wait are you just getting some performance anxiety? You can tell me."

The dog woman shook her head with an honestly worried look painted across her face." That was just something I got lucky doing and got even luckier nobody noticed me or noticed I did anything." She tried to play down what she did before.

I pointed to the car shop across the street." Don't worry Ven, me and Bates will sit back and watch you from across the street." I told her.

" I can't do all the work you jerk!" She barked at me before I plucked her nose."Stop that!" She rubbed her button nose.

"No shit you can't do everything, fuzz butt, that's why you'll be setting up the short cut for us." I pointed to a small section of the street nearby with construction cones and small hologram barriers, it was lucky that the street was vacant and the place looked like it was about to close up." Me and Bates will move in through the back entrances of the shop while you get rid of those barriers and set up the explosives, when you're done we should have the cars and I'll speed over to pick you up." I told her.

The Ausar took a deep breath before nodding and taking the gym bag from and slinging it over her shoulder, the dog woman pulled her mask over her face and jogged over to the small construction spot to work on the part of the plan I told her. I looked into my old mask considering to put it on before I put the cracked gas mask over my face
