Once they all make it inside, they step out of the chimney covered in soot and step into the room. They walk through the halls and find the room the emerald is in. They waltz inside, carefully making sure they don't step too far in.

"You got the smoke bombs?" Six whispers. Four nods and is about to throw them, but cut off by Eight.

"Wait, smoke bombs?" Eighth looks confused. Six gives him a look. "Yeah, what'd you pack?" "Normal bombs.." Eight looks sheepish, Six facepalms.

Fifteen raises an eyebrow under her glasses, the others unable to see it. "Why do you even have normal bombs?" "In case of an emergency situation."

"Enough," Six shout-whispers. "If we can't see the lasers, Nine will hack them and turn them off. As simple as that." Nine takes the hint and pulls out his computer. "You got it!" Nine starts typing frantically, and after they can see a red ERROR symbol through the reflection of his glasses.

"What's wrong?" Six raises an eyebrow in curiosity. Nine holds up the computer in one hand and uses the other hand to put it behind his neck. "I can't hack through the password, does anybody know it?" They all shake their heads, except Four and X. X is looking down, while Four is looking at him.

"X..."

"No."

"X!

"No!!

"We need the password so we can turn off the lasers! You've had a weird connection with Two for some reason, you probably know the password!

"I don't wanna tell!"

Four sighs. "If you don't give us the password we're gonna be stuck here until morning. Once Two sees you in their living room with a spy outfit, bye-bye goes your friendship." Four is trying to squeeze it out of him. "So are you gonna tell us the password so we can get this over with faster, or are you gonna risk your friendship with that British booger?"

X thinks, then sighs. He doesn't wanna do this, but he doesn't have any other choice. "I'mALittleTPOT2763..."

Nine types in the password. Six and Fourteen are giggling while Fifteen and Eight look at them as if they're immature children. Four smirks, X is slowly regretting his decision. "I'm in!" Nine's head perks up and they can hear lasers turn off. Fourteen runs to grab the emerald and once he snatches it, the alarms go off. "Uh oh-"

They all freeze for a few seconds, then One and Zero rush in the room with their police badges shining. One shouts, "GET THEM!" As Zero and One charge towards them, the gang looks for an escape.

"There's no windows in this room, Two thought about the emerald's safety and keeping it in a room without windows to avoid their location getting tracked." Eight explains as he runs. Four comments. "They might have one braincell at MOST, but they didn't do a very good job avoiding theft-"

They keep running until they reach a dead end, which fortunately had a window. Four zaps it and makes an opening, some shards of glass scratch on the others.

Eight looks at the others and shouts. "Who has the grappling gun?!?" Fifteen shoves Fourteen towards the broken window. "Oh right-" Fourteen doesn't bother to aim, too much in a panic. They all grab on as Fourteen pulls the trigger and they zoom to the ground. They dusts themselves off, but when they're about to run, they freeze in place. Their eyes widen once they see what Fourteen has done.

Thanks to Fourteen refusing to aim, the hook shot into Three's head and he now lies there dead with the bloody hook sticking out through the other side of his head. They're all left in shock, but snap out of their frozen state once they hear Zero shout through the window. "Why'd they stop?" Once they hear that, they're off running. They don't even pick up the grappling gun.

One uses her powers to fly Zero and herself to ground level. They walk over to the spot the Algebandits were and One's eyes widen, tears coming almost immediately.

Zero pulls out his walkie talkie and turns it on to communicate with the third cop, Five. "We have a situation, the bandits stole the Reciumpay Emerald and while escaping they.."

Zero's voice gets drowned out in One's mind, all she can think about is her best friend no longer able to breathe, and how his time has run out..
