The Cullinan Diamond Heist

Chapter 5 - Gas Canisters - Silent Approach I

"So, trying to do this nice and quietly eh Henderson, I like it. What we're gonna need are just knock out gas and guard outfits. I know a source of where you can get the Guard Clothes,  but the knock out gas is inside a laboratory just near the docks, so it's the closest, but possible hardest. The lab is called TOS Labs, and there in the making of a new gas, which is the one we need. You raid the lab, and take the gas. There will be a lot of armed guards there, so expect a good gunfight. The guard outfits on the other hand can actually be done sneakily. I sourced us a truck loading up weapons and ammunition that they're gonna send to London. Theres gonna be guard uniforms in a black duffle bag along with the weapons, take em without being caught, and it'll be all that from there"

"Don't seem too hard!" I said as I thought that this may be done quietly

"Of course not my friend! Get this stuff and send them back here, I recommend that you all help on these setups"

"Sure thing James, we're on it!" Jake said

That ended our conversation. The rest of us walked over to the exit, and the sound of the door was starting to get used to me. We all walked out and into the parking lot, where a black car was waiting for us. We all hopped in and I took the driver seat. I ignited the engine and we made our way to TOS Labs.

We made it to the labs and parked in the parking lot. That was when I noticed that this place was heavily secured. A large gat stood as the entrance, being guarded by two guards, both being armed with rifles. I knew this wouldn't be easy, so we had to do this sneaky as well

"James, James do you read?" I said as I talked to James in my earpiece

"Yeah I copy, what's up?" He asked

"This things gonna be harder than we expected, we got guards here armed to the teeth. Any chance there's a way we can do this without driving too much attention" I said

"Um give me a sec..lets see..Yes there is! Try to find a circuit box somewhere outside the lab, it should cut off the lights inside" James said

We split up, and began searching the exterior of the lab, trying to find the circuit box. It took us about five minuets to find, when I heard in my earpiece

"Henderson, I think I found the circuit box" Paul said

"Good, stay where you are, I'll tell you when to pull it" I responded back

The four of us walked over to the entrance of the labs, and pulled our guns out, adding suppressors to them. I then gave the call

"Pull it now!" I said to my earpiece

I could hear the faint sound of the lights in the lab, shutting down one my one. That was our mark to move in. We walked inside, and saw nothing. The lab was pitch black, so it would be hard to see ourselves too. That was when Nick threw to each of us a pair of goggles, that glowed light green at the lens. I put mine on, and saw that these were actually night vision goggles, so now navigating through was easier. We walked through the maze of the labs, silently killing any guard that stood in our path, until we made to where we needed to be. A room with a sign on top of it which read "GAS MANUFACTURING CENTER" We all walked in it, and saw numerous tubes, each filled with different gases. We searched until we found a gas which had GR-9264 on it. We began taking the small container of the gas one by one, making sure not to make a slip of the gas. Once we had all the gas, we slowly made our way out. But that was when power in the lab was restoring, and the lights turned back on. I could see that there were two guards, standing about 3 feet away from us, with rifles in their arms. They noticed us, and pointed them to us.

Each of us took cover as bullets whizzed past us. We each began firing at the guards, soon killing them both. We made our way to the exit, and that was when the alarm blared, signaling that the lab had just been robbed. We all ran as fast as we could back to our car, with bullets flying right past us. One of which hitting Jake in the leg. We pulled him back to the car, and all got in. The case had begun, we drove through the city, with numerous cop cars on our tail. My friends fired back at the cops, killing and losing a few cops while I drove. Until there was no more cars behind us, and we were in the clear. We drove back to the factory, hoping that no cops followed us. We drove the car into a nearby alleyway, and walked over to the factory.

James was still there, organizing and setting up the job. Until he saw us, with the gas  canisters with us.

"Well I'm impressed, you actually got the gas. Well that's one thing down. Meaning we have one more thing left"

"The outfits, right?" Chris asked

"Indeed!" James said

I walked over to the planning board, and put a check next to "Gas Canister" And there was one thing left
