It was the next day when the gang had came by to count the money. As one of them checked, he shook his head.

"You're short." The neck tattoo one said.

"No, we're not." Annie replied.

"Yeah, you are."

"Actually, we're over." Annie said and put a box on the table. "See, these are super rare collectibles."

"Treasures." Beth corrected.

"Yes. Sister, you're correct. That's a better word for these, because these super rare treasures go for ten to fifteen Gs on eBay. How much legwork is there, right? But the truth is, it's very little. Because we have done the lions share of the work for you. Ruby?"

"These are the usernames and passwords for our eBay accounts. Plus, action tips to maximise your profits." She explained.

"You want me to sell your dolls." He said.

"Tell him about Hans." Isabelle said.

"Ooh. Our little drummer boy. The pride of Hamburg. You see, Hans here is one of only 12 in the entire-" Annie began but he smashed it on the table angrily. "Eleven in the world."

"This some kind of joke to you? I'm done playing with you guys." He said and the two men started smashing up the house.

"What are they doing?" Annie asked.

"Making it look like a home invasion." Beth replied.

"So they can kill us." Isabelle added.

"Please don't do this!"

"Wait. Please, wait! We can get you the money! I swear! Please!"

The man pointed the gun at Isabelle.

"Please don't!"

"You're so pathetic." Isabelle told him.

"Isabelle!"

"What? Come on then. We're normal people. We pay our bills and go to work like everyone else. And when bad things happen to good people, everyone else goes crazy. It's all over the news, and there are all these hashtags and movements. So, if you wanna invite all that attention, over a few stupid grand, then you're not the smart businessman you think you are. Now, roll the dice. Tell him to do it. See what will happen."

"Please." Beth cried.

The man looked at the leader and he shook his head meaning to lower the gun.

"Oh, my god."

They then took the bag and walked out the house.

Isabelle went outside to see her little brother doing homework but to her surprise the leader of the gang was with him.

"Liam, go inside now." She told him.

"I don't wanna." Liam said.

"Just do it. Go."

"But your boyfriend's helping me."

"He's not my boyfriend and can you go inside now. Watch TV or something." Isabelle said.

"Listen to big sis, Liam." The leader said and Liam went inside the house. "You know you should really get him a tutor, right?"

"I get it. You want the rest of your money. We'll get it."

"Nah, let's forget all that." He told her.

"Then what are you doing here?" Isabelle asked.

"Keep thinking about what you said. About being a basic bitch and whatnot."

"That's not exactly how I said it."

"Maybe there's something you could help me out with." He said.

"And what's that?"

"You ladies got passports?" He asked.
