All eight cars were speeding down a busy road through the night without a care in the world. Rob was in a black sedan with brown leather seats and Rob had the widest of grins on his face. "Haha I cant believe we got away with this, oh what am I gonna do with this, I might by a boat or even that private jet i've always wanted". Rob muttered to himself. Soon his smile shrunk slightly. "Na I'm not even close to being able to aford that maybe just a new boat". Rob said. Soon a large spotlight appeared on the road ahead of him. Rob looked up and was blinded by a white light and the sound of turning helecopter blades. He looked up and saw a helecopter hovering above him and four police cruisers barracading the road ahead, leaving two routes to go, the left and the right however both sides had two cruisers were blocking those. "Oh shit". Rob said as he pulled up his cell phone. "(Sigh) I don't have enough time to call them all, I'll just have to improvise, pft it's basically what we've been doin this whole heist anyway". Rob said as he sped up getting closer and closer to the police barracade. Suddenly he jerks his car to the right route with the tires screeching loudly. The three cars behind him followed as Rob rammed into the police barracade breaking the front left light of the car and scratching the fender. Two of the cars behind the three other cars following Rob went left ramming into the other barracade. The last car however rammed straight into the four car barracade leaving the helecopter no choice but to follow the four car team of the Athens gang. "Oh damn it how the hell is Hercules expecting to survive on his own"? Rob asked himself. Soon his phone started ringing. It was Hermes. Rob reached into the passengers seat and picked up the seat and answered the phone. "I'm kinda busy right now Hermes". Rob yelled while the sounds of police sirens and helecopter blades erupted the night sky. "Yeah well l think you should know that we're both seperated, right now I'm escourting Apollo, and Theodore who do you have"? Hermes asked panicing. "I don't know who i'm escourting other then Zeus and Posiedon but their in the same car". Rob explained. "Hey did you see Hercules go off on his own he probably tried to divert some attention off of us". Hermes explained. "Yeah well I'll ask him all I know is I might have to give him a little extra when we get to the dealership he really came through for us". Rob replied. "Well if Hercules went off on his own and uh I have Apollo and Theodore then you must have Zeus, Posiedon, Ethan and Nicholas". Hermes explained while keeping all concentration on trying to divert the cops off of his course. "Yeah I guess that would make most sense". Rob replied. "Alright just uh text me when you get to the dealership I'll do the same if I beat you there". Rob said. "Wait Hercules just texted me saying his car is parked under a bridge he says he doesn't know which one though". Hermes explained starting to panic some more. "He'll be fine he doesn't have as much police attention as we do he should be able to lose them quickly". Rob said. "Wait (sigh) thank God he said he made it to the dealership without any cops following him he said he uh lost them by the". CRASH "Ahhh". Hermes screamed when a sudden bang and thrash sounded over the phone. "Hermes HERMES answer me are you there"? Rob asked with his adreneline through the roof. "Yeah argh I'm fine just swerved a little and a cop rear ended me and I almost crashed into a tree". Hermes said. "Okay whew fine just text me when you guys get to the dealership is uh everybody still behind you"? Rob asked. "Yeah if you mean Apollo and Theodore". Hermes answered. "Alright see you at the dealership". Rob said. The line hung up and Rob's phone started ringing again. The contact read Ethan. "Oh shit this guy must be losing it. Rob picked up the phone and answered imiedietly. "Ethan are you okay you still behind us"? Rob asked with concern in his voice. "Yeah and oh by the way I'm having the time of my life right now I'm so glad you talked me into this oh by the way make a left at the next turn". Ethan explained with shere joy in his voice. "Alright is anyone behind you or in front of you"? Rob asked. "Yeah so far everyone is all accounted for oh but we do still have the giant ass helecopter on our tail and three police cruisers following us". Ethan explained. Soon a cop car appeared out of an alley way and crashed into Rob's car from the left pushing him to the right and into the parking lot of the All-Store while everyone else just zoomed by the police car. The car stopped as two cops got out of the car and aimed guns at Rob, one of them being Thomas aiming a high power shot gun at Rob's car. Rob then held his hands steady at the wheel and had his foot hovering above the gas peddle. He then slammed onto the peddle and zoomed out of the parking lot as the two cops then sprinted back to there car but by the time they got in, Rob was long gone.
In Zeus's car with Posiedon in the passengers seat they were both startled at the suddon crash into Rob. "Oh shit did we lose Ares"? Zeus asked. "I uh I think so he crashed back there". Posiedon yelled over the sound of police sirens."Should we go back for him"? Zeus asked. "Uh I don't know you're the boss right you need to make a call and besides you're driving". Posiedon yelled. Zeus pondered for a moment with fear in his eyes. "His uh his car it didn't seem to damaged it looked drivable and it was only one cop car we have two and a helecopter uh so yeah i think he's fine lets just continue". Zeus said. Soon Posiedon's cell phone rang and Posiedon picked it up. "Yeah Hermes". Posiedon yelled. "Hey good news Apollo, Theodore and I we lost the cops and we're approaching the dealership right now, how you guys doin"? Hermes asked. "Not good Ares got left behind but we think he's okay". Posiedon yelled into the phone. "Hang on Posiedon". Zeus yelled as he drove off road as the helecopter lost the cars and the police cars crashed into each other leaving Zeus, Posiedon, and Ethan in a brush of foliage surrounded by trees. "What happened you guys okay"? Hermes asked. "Yeah in fact we lost the chopper". Posiedon said. Soon the three cars made their way back to open road and the dealership was in sight. The dealership was a rusty building with purple concrete walls and a metal garage door and a small parking lot outside. Zeus noticed everyone was there except Rob. Hermes red van was dented on the left door which had a broken window now and Allan walked out with Henry and Leonardo next to him. "Are we missing someone"? Allan asked while brushing aside his black long hair. "Yeah we're missing Ares". Zeus said. "We'll we may as well wait he shouldn't be far behind he knows how to drive and he thought this through". Apollo said. Everyone looked stunned at Apollo at his concern for Robert. Soon the sound of screeching tires sounded as Rob's black sedan with a broken left light and huge dent in the right of the car. Rob got out of the car and stood in front of everyone. "Were you followed"? Allan asked. "No". Rob said looking behind himself for reassurence. "Well. Lets get down to business". Allan said as he opened the garage door revealing the metal parking space inside with enough tools for eight cars and then some. "Ares you first". Allan said while pointed at Rob. Rob nodded as he got in his car and drove into the garage as Allan followed him with a handful of ownership documents. The garage door closed as the rest of the Athens gang grew grins of happiness and laughed with joy, as they have completed their heist. Even Hercules and Apollo cracked a smile at each other. Everyone then sat down and rested as they waited for their payment.
