Hugging Kimberly, before watching her run off to the SUV, he could only chuckle.
"Hell yeah, that was awesome!" He said to her, as he watched her run off, like an exited child. Then again, she had won just a very big street race. 

Turning to Ellie, he chuckled, knowing she had a point, but his wife wasn't like that.
"She'll share. We always do, in any big races." The wait was killing him internally, he had to say, as he looked back at Ellie.
"Glad you enjoyed the ride. Hey, it's good to ride with you. Like old times." He was interrupted as Kimberly came back, to announce exactly what she'd won. 

He was a little shocked. 10 million? What the fuck? That wasn't street racing money, a 1000 maybe at most, $5K but not that much!
"What the hell?" Ross asked, his confusion turning to joy, as he hugged Kimberly, giggling.
"Okay, you won. But remember, this is for us." He nodded, chuckling, as he walked up to her, holding her hand as they looked out over the airport

Seb looked over, nodding.
"You drove like a madwoman, fraulein. But that was incredible. Well done." He said, as he knew that no doubt, this was a time to celebrate, and that was surely going to gloat to Ross in no time.

Back at the house, Ross had also paid mind to the conversation, sitting close by Kimberly.
"They're offering you work as a getaway driver if they are. They'll give you a fast Audi or BMW, and your job is to drive as fast as possible. Transporter style. I mean....the risk is high. Reward is too. And while you made us more money than any street race I'll ever do...I know what this means to you, sweetie." Ross said, reassuringly as he embraced her, sighing a little.
"I'm with you all the way. Look. Let's think about it. This is a big deal, for both of us. We make a decision as a couple on these things, and we've had our fair share of close calls. Mia has a lot of potential, and I want her to have the best upbringing. Without us, it won't mean a lot." He added, knowing he was the type of person that actually DID these things more often than not, in the UK that was what he did. A wheelman.

And yet, it felt like the first proper time he'd come clean on it. He had grown into his responsibilities. And knew that when money like that was thrown around, this was not a small time deal. This was big.
"Listen. If they have $10 million to give to a little street race, they are paying for talent that gets way more than that stolen. That means they would want to steal something big, you know. So whatever you do, don't get in over your head. For both of us. This is me saying it, okay?" Ross said, to the point yet calm, warm in his embrace, as he kissed her on the forehead, letting her lean against his shoulder.

"It'll be alright, my love. Whatever you think is right, we'll do." He added, as they spent a few more minutes there, just taking the quiet in. 


Heading downstairs after a few minutes, Ross took in the party that had become so impromptu, the amount of cars parked outside was mad, the upstairs was quiet at least, so Mia could get some sleep with Kimberly's sis. It was clearly popular, with Ellie and Seb on the couch, chilling and drinking various energy drinks. The new age, no alcohol he thought to himself, these were adrenaline junkies of the vehicular and airborne kind.

Seb looked over, mid sentence as he was talking to Ellie.
"The only catch is, we are going to need to break in. This one isn't going to be legal, I found out...so maybe let's not upload this one?" He mentioned over to Ellie, as he saw Ross.
"Hey man, you good?" Seb asked, as Ross nodded.
"Yeah, we're alright. Tell you what. We down for this little adventure of yours?"
"We're ready when you are. Just give us a ride, we'll let you know when. We need a fast exfil on this one. This is a hell of a stunt we're pulling."
"Sure is. Think you can handle getting in?" Ross asked, as Seb chuckled, trying not to laugh but he had a shit-eating grin with the worst response he could have.
"We have disguises."
"I swear to God.....are you joking?"

Seb led the way, leaving the elevator, wearing a highly reflective vest, and a white helmet on. Generic, but they were working on the building site at the top of the building. And it had gotten them past one security guard so far. His gear bag stowed over his back, containing pretty much everything, and a smug look on his face.
"That should not have worked." Seb laughed, still aware that this was as stupid as it got, and Ellie in the same attire seemed to work just as well. For now, it had to stay on while the cameras were pointing their way, and they still had stairs to go up. In the pitch black.

As they headed up through the floors, Seb looked back at Ellie, knowing she was more the leader of the two of them, more than usual at least. That what made their partnership so good. They furthered each other, pushing one another, and they were getting into the flow and rhythm of it. There was no weak link. They were just as good as one another.
"Good old days. This is black-hat BASE. Doing it for the sheer tally. I guess we have more marketing stuff to do in the week, anyway. This is....well, I think they'll have fun trying to keep up with us. Let's keep it tight, Ellie." Seb was not an idiot when it came to stuff like this, BASE jumping was after all, an extreme sport but sometimes that meant breaking a few rules. Legal ones too. 

Buildings were not normally that welcoming to BASE jumpers, given the nature of the sport, and sometimes that meant breaking in. That in itself was a rush, it was just like how Ross and Kimberly raced cars, it was getting into a place you shouldn't have been, trespassing a bit then leaving without taking the elevator. 

The last staircase took them to the last floor, the last one that they were going to be able to access. The windows were installed, all apart from a pane missing on an access point on the western side, the office in full refurb clearly, and this being a site for an exterior walkway to be installed. At some point. Of course, it was fenced off and the appropriate health and safety measures had been taken, but it was easy to get out through. Dropping the gear bag, Seb took the high-visibility vest and white plastic helmet off, breathing out.
"Shit. We'll have to radio our friends at the bottom. Hopefully they don't get a parking charge waiting on us." Seb added, as he pulled out his distinctive black, grey and blue wingsuit, with a black and blue container, with a grey full-faced helmet to follow, a GoPro distinctly set up on top. Looking across to Ellie, he nodded.

"Kinda never stops getting real right?" Seb gave a grin, knowing the adrenaline always pumped, even in places like this, as he began to set his wingsuit and rig up. Slowly and surely, he set up, the wingsuit the same as the kind that they'd used in Norway, a high-performance, fast wingsuit model, something a little unruly to fly sometimes but still, something. It took a lot of physical pressure to fly one, but he knew that Ellie and himself were up to it, and after a few seasons in the Alps and in parts of the US and Canada, that always stayed. 

Doing his last legstrap up, he slid his helmet on over his head, before approaching Ellie, checking her straps, as well as the pins on the BASE rig, as well as running through the rest of the check. 
"So, let's run through it. Exit is simple. Dive, fly straight on, and keep going straight on, the boulevard goes right between a lot of tall buildings so we have only one way out. Really push the performance out. We'll keep a nice separation, I'll deploy nice and early, so it gives you plenty of time. Nice and easy. " He asked, as he finished up, then opening up his leg and arm wings, letting Ellie check him over, almost an unsaid thing.

After Ellie had checked him, he adjusted the walkie-talkie that he had kept out with the rest of the building site gear, picking up Ross and Seb on the line.
"Okay, thirty seconds till we go. We'll give you the head start. Light up some tyre smoke, watch the skies above you. This is a race, right? See you on the ground." Taking the radio, he popped it on a pocket on the front of his suit, tucking in deep and out of the way, as he looked to Ellie, smirking.
"Ready?" He asked, as he kissed her gently, before turning the window, standing toward one side to let Ellie set up, and lead the flight in her bright white and golden suit. This was going to be quite something. the view of Los Angeles from up here was just ridiculous, and some part of him that screamed inside reminded him this was very, very real.
