Heist

Song of the Day: There Ain't No Rest For The Wicked, by Cage the Elephant

"You inside yet?" Lucas said through the comms unit in his ear. He had all of the video cameras on screens in the van, but he couldn't see any of the others. "I have a visual of Maya and Sarah. Riley, Farkle, I can't see you." Lucas finished.

"That's kind of because we're avoiding the cameras." Farkle said. 

Back in the van, Lucas gripped the apple he was holding tightly. He was very nervous. He'd rather be on the inside, helping with the heist. The van was making him apprehensive.

"Luke." A voice said, from the earwig in Lucas's other ear. Lucas jumped up, and just realizing it was Josh, he muted his end of the line on the earwig with the team. He could hear them, but they couldn't hear him. He listened to Josh, who went on and on about Zay.

"Is he pissed?" Lucas asked, clicking the mouse to change screens, and he brought up a page of his seventh grade yearbook. Not very far away from Riley, Maya, Farkle, and Sarah, Lucas's name was printed under the picture of him, and he smiled.

"Pissed is an understatement." Josh replied.

"Good. He got what he deserved." Lucas replied.

"Gavin, do you have a visual on Riley?" Maya asked. Lucas quickly unmuted his line.

"Nope, but I do have a contact with Farkle. I wonder why he isn't coming in on your wig." Lucas said, muting the earwig again. Maya sighed through the line.

"How is everything going?" Josh asked, and Lucas looked around the van. Outside, he could hear a someone walking around the edges of the van. Great. Lucas climbed into the driver's seat, muting Josh, and turning the team back on. He didn't want to talk to Josh right now.

The person knocked on the window, and Lucas rolled down the window.

"Sir, you can't park here." The officer said. Lucas nodded.

"Sorry sir, I'll move. Do the parking meters across the street work?" Lucas asked, and the officer nodded, and moving the van across the street, he pulled into a spot and put a couple quarters in the parking meter. Great. He knew the officer would expect him to leave the van now.

"Riley, I have to get out of the van, an officer is on to us." Lucas said.

"Damn it. Farkle and I are closing in on the glass case around it. Maya and Sarah aren't far away from the fire alarm, I have a visual on them. Gavin, I want you to drive around the building a couple of times, and when you see Maya and Sarah, pick them up at the door. Meet Farkle and I at 43 Colbie Street, it's a couple streets away, my Uncle Josh used to live there."

And that is the exact building that Josh and Zay were staying at in Seattle.

"Okay." Lucas said. He started the engine again, and going around the officer, who looked weirded out, Lucas drove the car around the building. It got difficult once the fire alarm went off, people ran out of the museum and into the street. Lucas finally got around to Maya and Sarah, and threw open the back door, not stopping for anything. 

"At the end of the street, take a right." Maya said, buckling into the passenger seat, directing Lucas where to drive. Lucas drove to the stop lights and took an immediate right.

"Farkle, we need to do this, now." Riley whispered into Farkle's ear. Maya and Sarah were leering over by the fire alarm. Maya didn't need to be told what to do next. She took out a lighter and threw it on to the carpet, while Sarah pointed and screamed "Frie." 

Maya pulled the fire alarm, and like a herd of elephants, the whole room followed Sarah and Maya out the door. Farkle grabbed a heated glass cutter from his pocket.

"How did you get past security with that thing?" Riley asked, and Farkle didn't stop to look at her.

"This isn't my first rodeo with ladies Riley." Farkle said, breaking open the glass case. As soon as Riley's fingertips touched the vase, a group of ninjas entered the room. "You've got to be kidding me." Farkle said, and Riley ran off to open the vent to the ceiling while Farkle fought them off.

"Farkle, come on." Riley said, ditching the air vent, and they ran around the corner, and she picked the lock. They went through the door, barricading it behind them.

Climbing the stairs of the roof, Riley handed the Vase to Farkle, and shot across a grip, that they could use to swing across. It landed perfectly on Josh's old building. They'd land on the fire escape and be able to run down the fire escape to the van.

"Grab on." Riley said, and Farkle didn't need to be told twice. Holding the vase, he wrapped his arms around Riley, and they swung like a pendulum to the fire escape. 

"Careful." Farkle said, as they landed. A slight shift in balance, and they could fall. Riley landed on the fire escape gently and Farkle let go. Setting the vase down, he helped Riley down off the railing. Riley grabbed the vase and they ran to the end of the fire escape.

"There's no more fire escape and the jump down would kill us and shatter the vase." Riley said, and Farkle looked at the open bay window. 

"There. Open window." Farkle pointed out, and they climbed through the window. Two little girls looked amazed to see them, as well as their one male friend behind them.

"That remind you of anyone?" Riley said, patting the three kids on the head, and they ran out of the apartment, running past the Vietnamese family who lived there. They dashed down the stairs and out of the lobby, jumping into the open door of the van. "DRIVE!" Riley yelled, and Maya hit the gas (her and Lucas had switched spots). Lucas crawled in the backseat and helped the others package the vase. "Well, I never want to steal a vase ever again."

"I think we should just stick to paintings and small sculptures." Farkle said.

The rest of the team nodded.
