After the Heist

Back in New York

Debbie's POV:

As soon as we landed in New York, we headed straight to Tammy's house, which was where the girls were gathering. I still couldn't wrap my head around why she did it there, her husband and kids know nothing about her secret life.

"They are here!" Daphne welcomed us excitedly, giving us each a hug.
"You guys were together?" Constance asks with a smirk on her face.
"All month," Nine ball adds sitting on the corner smoking.
"Wait, what?" Tammy asks, confused.
"Hi" Lou's deep voice crawls across the room as she drops her bag on the floor. "How are you all?" she says sarcastically.
"What were you guys doing together?" Amita asks.
"They went to steal some gold, in Dubai," Nine ball says, emphasizing the word "Dubai".
"What?" they all ask in unison.
"And you didn't tell us about it," Constance says, looking betrayed.
"Nine ball was also part of it," Lou says sitting down on the couch, she was unbothered by the whole situation.
Everyone was looking straight at her now.
"I had the boring part, they both got to go to Dubai," Nine ball defends herself.
"You guys went to Dubai" Amita complains, "I've always wanted to go there."
"Only for a couple of days," I add, "Plus, we didn't get any gold."
"Okay no. I need to hear the details," Tammy says, looking straight at me.
"You both have some explaining to do," Constance adds.
"We went to steal some gold, but it wasn't there." Lou frankly says.
They all looked confused.
"My brother stole it," I add.
"Isn't he dead?" Daphne asks.
"He might not be," I say shrugging
"I don't understand anything. What?" Constance asks, confused.
"In the safe, where the gold was supposed to be, there was a note from him. Meaning that he got there before we did. Either he is still alive or he stole it before dying." I say still standing up in front of all of them. It kind of reminded me of when everything started, before the met gala heist.
"What did the note say?" Daphne asks intrigued.
"I was here," Lou says.
"I was here? That's it?" Constance blurts out.
"Yeah, what else did you want it to be?" I say, annoyed.
"Wow," Tammy says, taking all the information in.
"So the plan failed. Moving on," Lou says standing up. "How will we take the bastard down?"
"What does he have on us in the first place?" Amita asks.
"Daphne's fingerprints," Tammy answers.  "And then they were able to link all of us to her, when they traced back her steps."
"I always told you, clean your steps" Nine ball looks at me.
"I'm not going to jail alone!" Daphne says, her voice shaking.
"You won't go to jail," I say to her.
"We need to figure out a way to incriminate someone else, and explain why Dauphne's fingerprints are there," Constance says.
"Or frame it all on him, and make it seem as if he was trying to frame it on us to cover up his track," Tammy says.
"Did you guys take the note?" Nine ball asks Lou and me, ignoring everything else happening.
"What note?" Lou asks.
"The one from the safe" Nine ball says aggressively.
"Yes, we did" I add.
"Can I see it," she stands up from her desk.
"No," I say, pulling away.
"You guys seem weird today, there is tension here," she says, putting her hands in the air. "Did you guys have sex?" Nine ball asks looking straight at Lou and me.
Silence.
"What? Of course not." Lou lies.
I look at her. "That will never happen," I say.
Tammy was looking straight at us.
"They did," Constance points at us.
"No, we didn't. Let's get back to what is important." Lou says nervously.
"We can say that he stole the gold," Nine ball changes the topic, she knew.
"What? How?" Daphne asks.
"The gold is gone, no one knows why or how so we can say it was him." Nine ball explains.
"You genius," I say looking at her.
"We can send an anonymous email to the Dubai government saying that the gold is gone. Slowly we can leave signs that will point straight to him." Nine ball says.
"Okay, but how will we erase the fingerprint?" Amita asks.
"We are millionaires, we can pay someone to say they were hired by Calude to incriminate us," Lou says.
"I don't like the idea of this," Amita says nervously.
"Or we can say Dauphnye touched it when she was at his place," Tammy suggests.
"Yeah that sounds more realistic," Constance adds. 
"Where is Rose? I ask.
"She didn't want to come, said she wanted nothing to do with this again," Tammy says.
"Her shop is doing really well, I worked with her a couple of times" Daphne adds.
"Has the police guy called any of you?" Constance asks Lou and me.
"We threw our phones away," I say.
"He called me but I didn't answer," Nine ball says.
"Okay, let's start framing the guy," Nine ball says as she heads towards her computer, we all follow.
