Debbie's POV:

"I'm back", a message from Lou pops up on my phone screen. I can't help but smile. The last couple of weeks has been dull and stressful. Word is that Claude paid bail and got out, and now he is coming for all of us. And honestly, I need my partner in crime next to me. It's not that I'm scared of that bastard, but I just need someone to make the situation more interesting, and that person is Lou.
"Come over asap" I text Lou back.

30 minutes later there was a loud banging on the front door, "open up!" I could hear Lou scream from behind the wooden door.
"Hang on!" I say as I roll my eyes and walk towards the door. "Welcome home," I stretch out my hand showing my beautiful but rustic house.
"Nice", Lou says walking in. "Did you steal all of this?" Lou points towards the inside of the house.
"Only some," I reply sarcastically.  "So what are you doing back in town?"
"Just figured you were missing me."
"You want a job don't you?"
"Well, I mean if you have one," she says walking into the kitchen.
"Here I am thinking you want to hang out with me," I say in a vulnerable voice to seem like a victim.
"Debbie,"
"I'm kidding, there is something."
"I'm listening," Lou leans forward and places her elbows on her knees.
"First of all you have to know something," I say in a low hushed voice.
"Tell me you're not going to jail," Lou jokes.
"Maybe," I reply back. "Claude got out, and now he is after us."
"Oh shit."
"That's why if you want a job, we need to go somewhere else."
"Like where? Texas?"
"Texas? Why would you want to go to Texas?" I ask.
"I don't know, I figured there would be something to steal there."
"Think bigger Lou"
"Just tell me, I don't have time for games."
"Dubai," I say handing her a glass of water.
"Dubai? As in a 16-hour flight?"
"Yes!"
"And what do you want to do in Dubai Debbie?"
"Drink tea Lou," I reply sarcastically.
"I swear I will kill you."
"You know you love me,"
"I don't,"
"Well, you will after we steal the grand Dubai museum filled with gold."
"Gold? We are stealing gold?"
"Gold Lou. Gold"
