Ellie, or the still unknown woman to the rest of the criminals leans against the brick wall underneath the moonlight, waiting for the others the pick her up.

after what seems like hours the screeching of tires fills her ears and she cocks her head to the side to see the van ready to pick her up. She hesitantly cocks her gun and heads into the van, seeing two others in the front seat looking back at her.

"hey" a young woman says, her voice serious but gentle as she looks behind into the backseat "i'm ca-" she starts to say before the driver, a young man cuts her short with a warning punch to the arm. The young woman quickly clears her throat before turning back around. "sorry we're supposed to be confidential I guess" she mumbles before the young man steps on the gas and the van speeds off into the night.

The van swerves through the streets as they ascend to their destination. The young woman continues to type away on her computer, hacking into the systems and security while the van moves.

"hey...uh are we going to be there soon" sam says hesitantly, not wanting to upset or aggravate the two strangers anymore than they already are.

"we'll be there when we fucking get there" the young man says, his voice cold and serious- he obviously takes his job seriously.

"sorry- he can be snappy sometimes" the young woman says apologetically, causing him to glare at her.

The van eventually stops a few blocks away from their target, turning off the headlights before calling for the rest of the team, "hey, you there?" the young man says into his ear peace, checking to see if the sniper is all set up before sending the rest of the team out of the van to get the victim. "hey, bimbo that's you-" he says annoyingly, signaling for her to get out of the van with the others to carry out the kidnapping.

She nods quietly pulling her mask over her nose before following the others towards the entrance, the young woman in the van unlocks the doors to the mansion so they can get inside before kicking back and waiting for them to bring the victim back.

She kicks her feet up fidgeting with her hair as they wait, keeping ear and eye open at all times in case of any threats.
The young man rolls his eyes turning on the radio, she looks at him with a look of disbelief "are you fucking stupid?" she says, knowing they can get caught if there's any noise. He just ignores her mockingly lip syncing the song just to annoy her.

She gives him a glare, knowing they can't afford to become distracted while they are on the lookout for the others to return.

"turn that shit off-" she whispers, reaching for the volume dial on the dashboard. He just looks at her turning it back up, obviously wanting to get a reaction out of her. "i'm serious we could get caugh-" she says, but before she can finish her sentence the driveway lights of the mansion turn on- signaling the return of someone other than their target.

"shit-" he says, finally turning the radio down and quickly starting up the van again. She looks around for the others frantically, seeing if they had caught the target yet or not.

A few moments later she hears a voice in her earpiece- "we got her, start it up"

the voice says, sounding serious. "go go-" she says frantically "i'm trying!-" the young man says trying to start up the van but it won't work. "shit-" she says as she sees the others running to get inside the van, they shove the duffel bag with the girl inside before sliding the door closed and taking their masks off.

"the fuck is taking so long come on!-" the superior says, seeing that more lights are turning on in the driveway by the second.

"i-i don't know it won't fucking start!-" the young man says panicking, the young woman in the front seat takes matters into her own hands.
"move-" she says, leaning over into the passengers seat causing him to be a little uncomfortable.

She quickly reaches under the steering wheel, finding the issue and quickly turning the van on again.

"ok there go go!-" she says frantically

"fuck okay jesus-" he says stepping onto the gas with his full weight, causing the van to speed into the night once more.
