The New Yorker's Choices

Creative thinking (Part 4)

Rob and the rest of the Athens gang were in their living room with the small sheet of lined paper with drawings all over it on the wall. Everyone looked iritable and impatient over wating for Ethan to come over. The most impatient of course was Apollo. "Hey Ares when is he gonna get here"? He asked. Rob didnt answer. Instead he just looked at his digital watch. He then put it down. At that point Rob was starting to get impatient as well. Soon the front door opened and Ethan nervously walked in. He walked to the front of the room where everyone was and just stared at them. "Well go on introduce yourself". Rob said. "Okay okay uh just let me get myself situated". He said. Ethan then cleared his throat and adjusted the collar of his shirt. "Uh hey uh my name is Ethan Trai and uh hehe Rob recruited me or you guys might call him Ares". "Oh my God this guy is an idiot, why the hell did you think of hiring him Ares"? Apollo asked. "Hey he and Hermes are the only people here familiar with security and technology. If you think you can check security cameras and plan a heist then go ahead". Rob explained. "Ethan you can continue". Rob said. "Anyway uh through careful consideration uh Rob and I believe we have come up with an elaborate plan to get our hands on atleast seventy five thousand dollars". Ethan explained as everyone started looking at each other in aggreement and amusement. "So looking at the uh small piece of note book paper this large rectangle is the thrift shop and above it is a parking lot with about ten cars each of them sedans or vans belonging to the shop. So obviously we cant fit ten people in a car to drop them off so we need two drivers so two people won't be getting cars not including me. Uh will anyone be willing to not get a car from this heist"? Ethan asked. After about a moment of waiting both Henry and Leonardo's hands went up. "Okay so uh Leonardo and Henry you two will have to drive us down to the front of the shop and drive to the dealership okay. Oh uh the dealership is where Allan Perez will make the cars officially yours by uh pulling some strings I dont understand it". Ethan said. "So uh you guys walk in and work your way to the jewlery department where most of the money is stored. There will be a small safe with about like I said seventy five grand in it, you'll need a drill or someone who figure out a combination to get in the safe quickly. However you'll only be able to crack open one safe before the cops show up. And oh by the way when your in the shop expect to have to deal with two to maybe three night guards". Ethan said. Everyone was paying close attention to what he was saying. Ethan sparked a small grin to all the positive attention. "Anyway when we get the money from the safe we'll have to rush to the lot in the back and drive our way through police resistance and work our way to the dealership. However we'll have to lose the cops long before we get there. So if this all goes well most of us will have a car each and sixthousand eight hundred and eightteen dollars each. Any questions"? Ethan explained with slightly more confidence then what he started with. One person raised his hand. It was Theodore. "What equipment do we need for the heist"? He asked. "The equipment we'll need is a drill depending on how strong the safe is. Something small like a power drill. Maybe a crowbar to break in through the glass doors. And obviously guns which i'm sure you guys have already". Ethan replied. Everyone nodded in agreement. Rob then stood by Ethan to make an announcement. "Okay so are we all good with the plan because if we do this we may end up attracting alot of police attention are you all okay with that"? Rob asked. No one objected with the only exception being Ethan's sudden nervousness to the soon to be acted out plan. "When do we do this thing"? Leonardo asked. "We'll meet back here at twelve in the morning so go home all of you get a good sleep set your alarms for about ten hours and we'll meet back here oh and uh Henry and Leo you guy need to bring by some cars to escourt us alright"? Rob said. "Hey I got away with robbing a grocery store I think me and Henry can get you guy some nice vans". Leo said. "Okay fantastic lets all go home". Rob said as everyone got up with the exception of Posiedon who lives in the Athens house. Rob and Ethan walked out of the house as Rob started laughing with amusment. "Haha Ethan you did it man the guys loved you. Hey I think you just made some future friends". Rob said as he started walking to his car. Ethan just stopped to ponder what he just sayed and walked to his car. Everyone drove off in different directions and drove home.
