After the Heist

New Plan

Lou's POV:

I missed the adrenaline rush that working with the girls gave me, even if the plan was quite boring. Nine ball was sitting at the computer, her fingers working their way over the keyboard as the rest of us tried to understand the movement. Website after website, she skimmed her way looking for the perfect scam.
"Wait, so how are we going to tell the Dubai government the gold is gone?" Amita asks.
"That's what we are trying to figure out," Constance replies.
"Wait but if the government goes and looks for the gold, won't they find your fingerprints on the boxes?" Daphne asks while looking at Debbie and I.
"We wore gloves," Debbie says.
"Obviously," I say under my breath and roll my eyes.
"We should call Rose, it feels weird doing this without her," Amita adds.
"Call her then," Nine ball says waving her off as Amita starts heading upstairs.

"Okay look, I can hack this guy's email, it says he is an administrator at the office." Nine ball mentions while showing us a picture of a young guy.
"Okay and?' Constance says impatiently.
"We write an email to the head office of the museum as if we were this guy," Nine ball answers.
"And say that the gold is gone," I finish.
"Exactly" Nine ball looks at me lifting her hand up in accomplishment.
"But won't they be able to trace back the email to your computer?" Deb asks.
"I'll use a cover-up," Nine ball says, clicking on other tabs we didn't understand.
"But how will we frame the gold thing on Claude? Aren't we just digging ourselves in a hole?" I ask. 
"Yeah, I don't know if I trust this plan," Daphne says nervously.
"I'll send the email and then we can figure the rest out." Nine Ball assures.
"Okay while you guys do that I will go take a nap," I say carelessly.
"What?" Daphne says in a judgy tone.
"I just came back from Bali and had zero hours of sleep." I start heading towards the stairs.
"Just go," Constance says while riding her skateboard all across the room.
As soon as I walked up the stairs, I was able to hear Amita talking on the phone with Rose.
"Rose everyone is here," she whispered quietly.
I couldn't hear what Rose was saying through the phone, I didn't care either. I walked towards the empty bedroom and sat on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Debbie says walking through the bedroom door, she had a concerned look on her face.
"Just tired."
"Lou, I know you. You don't get tired after not sleeping one night." Debbie says sitting next to me. I looked at her, at her beautiful face.
"I'm stressed, this plan -" I confess.
"I know. We are acting upon instinct, not really using our brain." Debbie says, worried.
"The government is not stupid," I say laying down.
"Yeah, we are not thinking this through. That's how mistakes get made. Danny's first rule was always to think everything twice before acting on it. "
"Let's run away, let's go back to Bali or wherever," I say, grabbing onto her hand. We needed an escape from this, from what was going to happen. And they would never find us in Bali.
"We can't just leave them in the dirt when we were the ones that brought them into this."
"We are all millionaires, everyone should just leave and go wherever they want." I point out.
"Yeah, well some people like New York." She says mocking my hate for the city.
"New York is trash," I reply.
"It is," Debbie says as she leans in and gives me a kiss.
"So, are we going to tell them?" I ask.
"About us?"
"Yeah," I say while grabbing her waist.
"Do you want to?" She asks while caressing my cheek.
"I don't know" I reply honestly.
"Let's not say anything but if they ask, we tell them."
I kiss her, pulling her down next to me. There is no empty space between us. I take her shirt off, admiring her beautiful body, licking her favorite spot.
"Lou, they are downstairs" Debbie whispers in my ear.
"I don't care," I say, getting over her body, kissing every inch of her.
