Getting into the driver side of the truck, Violet sends a quick text to the P4L chat before sliding her phone into her pocket

I have a plan, don't do anything stupid. Stay at the chateau! ( undelivered )

"So what's the plan exactly?" Violet asks as she begins fo drive, following the directions Barry was giving her.

Pointing to the right indicating where Violet should drive, Barry was excited about the heist "the cross is on a train heading to wherever Ward is staying on the main land.. the train is going to do a service stop and that's when we swoop in."

"Swoop in? Swoop in how Barry? You need more of a plan than this?" Violet questions as she continues following his directions

"You're going to pick the lock for me, I'll jump aboard.. grab the cross and shove it in the truck." Barry paused "I'll replace it with concrete filled tyres then you'll speed off like a little getaway driver."

Violet nods "got it.." she says as she pulls up by where the train was slowing to a stop "it seems to easy Barry.. I have a bad feeling"

"You think too much." Barry shakes his head as he unbuckles, ready to jump out

Violet parks the car by the train, looking ahead to make sure nobody was looking as the pair sneak out of the truck. Pulling a pin from her hair she began picking the lock for Barry, it coming lose really quickly "go go.."

Barry jumps inside as he immediately spots the box labeled Cameron. He begins pulling it towards the truck "a little help vilo" he asks as he pulls the cross out of the box

Violet reaches up, helping move the cross into the truck before rushing around to the drivers side. hopping back in she was ready to be the getaway driver

She waits as Barry replaces the cross with the concrete filled tyres, sealing everything back over and placing a new lock on the train

Hopping in the car, they speed away, unaware that the pogues were close behind them.. about to attempt to same heist

"What now?" Violet asks, trying to drive normally as to not grow suspicion

Barry looks behind them to make sure they weren't being followed "I take the cross to rafe and let it slip to you on total accident where he is hiding the cross"

"Got it.." violet sighs as she pulls into their trailer park

Barry looks over at Violet "But I want a cut Violet. Fifty fifty remember." He reiterates, needing the money

Violet nods, nervous. She knew they'd never sell the cross, it would go to pope. There wouldn't be any money to give Barry.

Getting out of the car, she watches as Barry slides into the driver side, driving off with the cross.

Out in the middle of the woods, Barry had brought the cross to rafe as promised. "This is straight outta the popes vault bro, you don't think we can get more for this?" He asks, admiring the cross.

Rafe walks over, drinking whisky straight from the bottle as he glances at the cross

"I mean this is straight outta church bro" Barry continues his ramble as Rafe passes him the bottle, saying nothing. Rafe begins to pick up pieces of rotted plastic, covering the cross "This is how we turn the cross into intractable money." He finally spoke up
