"Hey Dude, you contacted MI6 and the guards and police at Buckingham Palace, right?" Lucas said through his earwig. On the other side, Zay and Josh were in a van, somewhere outside of Wales.

"Yep! All taken care of. Man, you're going on a heist. This is so much fun." Zay said.

"Josh, do me a favor and slap Zay for me." Lucas said, and in the background, he heard a hand collide with head. Zay mumbled something that remotely sounded like the word 'bastard', but Lucas just ignored it. No harm, no foul. Although, their would be harm later. "Thank you."

"Bastard." Zay said out loud this time.

"Do you want me to get him again?" Josh asked.

"Nope. Because the next time I see you guys, I plan on doing it myself." Lucas said, and the three boys laughed. "I'm serious, watch your back Zay."

"Sure, Mr. Hershe." Zay replied.

"Oh, before you take us out of your ear, the Director wants a status update. Status report?" Josh said, and Lucas scratched under his chin, thinking about what to say next.

"Tell the Director I don't have enough yet. I've only been here a week at most."

"Will do. Signing off." Josh said, and Lucas took the earwig out of his ear.

"Who were you talking to?" Maya asked, walking into the room.

"What?" Lucas said, turning around, surprised she was even in the room.

"I'm not going to say it a third time Gavin, who were you talking to?" Maya said.

"I was talking to myself. I do that a lot. Especially after..." Lucas paused. "Especially after me and my family moved. I left my friends, who were more of a family to me than my real family."

"I keep saying that you remind me of someone Gavin. And I think I know just who."

"Then why don't you tell me who you think I am?"

"Where's the fun in that? Come on. Riley will be pissed if you're not ready, get dressed, we leave in five minutes, with or without you. And I'm sure as hell am not going to stall so that they can wait for you, you hear me?" Maya said, smiling.

"I hear you." Lucas replied, and Maya left the room. Once she was gone, Lucas took out the earpiece and put on a fresh pair of pants. He looked at himself in the mirror. "Let's do this." He said, talking to himself the first time that day.

"This better work Hershe, or you're dead!" Riley said to Gavin. Gavin, gave her a small smile, and linked his arms through hers. He patted her hand with hers, and directed them around a corner.

"Don't be like that sweet cheeks." Lucas said, and they followed the tour group through Buckingham Palace. "We're on vacation. And besides, this is Buckingham Palace. This is one of the most famous buildings in all of Britain, and we should be grateful that Sarah and Farkle couldn't come and let us go in their place." Riley gave him a small glare.

"Sarah and Farkle would never work in real life." Riley whispered in his ear.

"Why? I think they would make a cute couple. And Maya would make a cute couple with my college roommate. So sad that I just happened to lose touch with that guy." Lucas teased.

"I'm a lesbian." Sarah said through the comms unit, and Lucas's mouth went into an 'o' shape.

"That is how most guys react when they find out." Maya said through her comms. In one of the other tour groups, Riley and Lucas could just barely see Maya and Farkle walking around like the rest of married couples on this trips, but they actually seemed like they were having fun.

"Okay, we're a go in thirty seconds, as soon as the clock strikes noon. Maya, excuse yourself to the bathroom and pull the fire alarm. We don't have much time for a distraction."

"We could always pull a National Treasure-like stunt." Farkle offered.

"That movie came out in '07, and I'm sure that the queen has made all of her guards watch the movie so they know what they have to look for." Lucas said.

"How old were you in 2007 Gavin? I was only nine." Riley said.

"I was eleven." He admitted, walking forward, pulling Riley a little and she struggled to keep up with his pace. All around, lights flickered, and Sarah put in the fake feed video, looping the hallways as the fire alarm went on. Riley and Lucas rushed down a corridor.

"Door number one Sarah, now.!" Riley said, and the door opened, allowing her and Lucas to get through. "Gavin, start grabbing anything that you can. We have a sixty second window."

Lucas and Riley went down the hallway, grabbing every painting. Sarah opened the next door, and they grabbed about half of the paintings before Riley's watch went off. "Shit." Lucas said.

"You're telling me. May, Farkle, please tell me you've gone out the emergency exit."

"Halfway to the van. Hurry up. Have Sarah open the third door." Maya said.

Behind them, they could hear guards banging on the door, trying to open it. Sarah was able to open the emergency exit as fast as the guards broke down the door. Lucas grabbed one last painting. When Riley wasn't looking, he smiled at the guard, who winked back at him.

"Run Gavin!" Riley yelled, and they kept running, with the guards chasing after them. The made it to the van when the guards were halfway across the lawn. They hopped in, and buckled up, taking off as fast as possible. "Sarash, take a right, now."

Sarah took an immediate right, driving on the freshly cut grass. A man was riding a lawn mower. When the groundskeeper saw them, he ran away, to his hut, and they broke through the fence.

"This is it. Take a left."

Up ahead, they could hear helicopters, and behind them, police cars followed.

Sarah stopped at a lake. "The only direction we can go is forward." She said, as cars surrounded them. Everybody looked towards Farkle.

"Drive!" He yelled, and Sarah loosened up on the brake, hitting the gas. They took off into the lake.

"Now let's just hope MI6 doesn't catch up to us." Maya said, and they drove through the water.

The car started to go down, and the team began to panic. Lucas threw Sarah from the driver's seat, and used the steering wheel like one would use a plane, and it lifted the front of the car up, and propelled it through the water. Several hours later, they arrived in Scotland.
