I walk into James bar, even though the sign in front of it said closed. I walk in and the door makes a jingle sound every time, but that's just because its those types of doors. I look around the bar, and I could see the crew sitting at a table, talking and laughing. I walk over to them and Chris notices me

"Hey! There you are H! Pop a squat bro!" He tells me

I sat right next to Paul, and I could see that James wasn't here, I looked around and saw that he was struggling to hold six beers at once. I stand up and go to help him. He carries three and I carry three. We then take them over to the table where the rest of the crew is, still talking and laughing at whatever they were talking about. I sit back down next to Paul, and I open my beer bottle

"So, now that we're all here, you got the files H?" James asks me

"Sure do!" I say as I pull out a yellow file with the words "PREP WORK INFO" on it, written in Sharpie

"Great, now lets see what we have" James says as he snatches it from my hands

"Hm, I think this is some stuff we should all see" James said. He threw the file onto the table, and all the photos came pouring out. We all looked at them, thinking what we could do with this. He then gathered up all the photos and put them back inside the file

"Alright, this should be all the stuff we need, I'll meet you all back at the factory" James said as he walked out of the bar. We all looked at each other, and all stood up and left the bar.


I opened the factory door, which still made the squeaking sound. And the five of us walked in the factory, still in its decaying condition. I saw James, who was putting the photos on the whiteboards and drawing on the whiteboard with a marker. We walked over to him and that was when he noticed us

"Ah, you guys made it, splendid. So lets see what we got. We got the walls, central tower, diamond location. And a little bit of goodies too. We also got security systems, and I also found us a map of the place, so feel free to mark down anything that catches your mind. So there are many possible options of us entering and exiting the compound, all each as crazy as the other. We could enter quietly, or loud and proud. Your choice Henderson. If you want to enter quietly, there are two possible options for us. Number one, we take Royal Guard disguises, and we "change shifts" with the guards guarding the diamond. When we switch places, the two fake guards, which will be two of you guys, will go to the jewel house, and I was thinking we could have these people go to sleep by stealing some sleeping gas. We put that in the ventilation system, and you guys will walk in with gas masks on, and take what you can."

"Seems good, but why do we have to "change shifts" with the current Royal Guard?" Chris asked

"Well, if you do it with actual guards, they'll know you put the visitors to sleep, and they'll put two and two together and make a bullet through your heads. Someone from the crew will know what your doing and it'll be safer" James said

"Thats reasonable" I said

"So, option two. Two transport trucks that are coming in to pick up the loot from the compound, we hijack the trucks and keep whoever driving it hostage. We take disguises of our own and head over to the compound. One they see us, they'll let us in, and we take the Cullinan to they say, somewhere safer. Once we have the loot, we drive to the outskirts of London, and load them into two helicopters waiting for us. We load the loot and ourselves up, and fly to the sunset! And they won't even know we hit them! they'll think we took it where it needed to be, but they never thought of it being all across the Atlantic!" James told us

"Honestly I think that's the best approach Henderson" Nick said

"I agree" Chris said back

"Well its whatever he wants. Anyway. You want to do this loud and dumb, well I got just the thing for you! We're gonna need two choppers, military grade armor and a hacker for this one. There's gonna be two teams, Decoy and Striker, each flying in separate helicopters. The Striker team, which is us. Are gonna fly over to London, we can't fly over the Tower of London, because that place is a very strict no-fly zone. So we can't go anywhere near there. So were gonna have to go at a extremely high altitude, say 10,000 feet. Once we get there, all of us are gonna put our parachutes on and skydive down to the docks. Once we get there, there's gonna be a black van waiting for us there. We head over to the compound, and let ourselves in. The two guards at the front door will be a problem, so your gonna have to take them out. Once you do, we bust through the doors and get our eyes on the prize"

"Ok, I know what you meant by loud and dumb. The Royal Guard is the least of our problems, what about the cops?" Jake asked

"I was hoping you'd say that, and that is where I could introduce the Decoy Team. The Decoy won't be jumping from their heli's. Instead they gonna be flown over to a bank near the city. There gonna make it seem like that's the only robbery going on, and hopefully it'll alert the cops. Once they got enough cops, they'll put on the military grade armor, and pull out their military grade weapons, mini guns. Now this, I'm sure they'll get every cop in London. While there busy making a scene, the hacker will disable the cop communication systems, making us invisible to the cops. We get the loot, and face off any royal guard that tires to stop us! Once we got the loot, we'll come out the way we came, and drive over to the outskirts of the city, where there's gonna be a helicopter waiting for us. We load up, and fly away before the cops find out what we did"

"Not bad, but what about the decoy, we're just gonna leave them there to die" I asked

"No, they have their own getaway helicopter, just not the same one you guys will go on. Can't risk them bringing the cops to us" James said

"Well is that all of them?" Paul asked

"Sure are! Now its up to Henderson. You know how we get in and out. Now its up to you to make the choice. Sneaky or Loud and Proud. What's it gonna be?"

A: Sneaky Way I

B: Sneaky Way II

C: Loud and Proud Way I
