Heisters (RWBY modern AU fanfiction)

2: Party Celebration

The three men came back to their luxurious penthouse filled with furniture that they had bought or stole.

Qrow entered the kitchen and grabbed three beer bottles from the refrigerator and tossed one each to Ironwood and Ozpin.

"Tonight, we celebrate!" Qrow raised his bottle.

"To us, brothers!" Ironwood cheered. "If not for you guys, our lives would still be in the streets."

"To Ozpin!" Qrow smiled. "For being our number one smartass PinHead! If not for him, we'd still be in elementary!"

"Oh, really?" Ozpin laughed as Ironwood laughed along. "Well, to Qrow! For being our number one immature drunk! If not for him, we'd still be sober every night!"

The gang laughed harder this time.

"And to Ironwood", Ozpin continued, "for being our leader as you helped us guide our lives to the filthy rich. If not for you.... none of us wouldn't be here in this position. We thank you."

"Hell yeah, we thank you", Qrow said.

"Thank you, guys", Ironwood smiled from that small but emotional speech. "But I think I should be giving my credit to you two. You two are my best friends and without you guys, who would I be? A criminal with no friends? A criminal with no helpers? If not for you two, I would've been in jail already."

"Even if you were in jail right now, we'd be there to bust you out", Qrow laughed. "You'd do the same for us."

"I would. Cheers!"

They all tapped their bottles on theirs and sipped in the victory.

But after Ironwood took his sip, he felt his phone ring from his pocket.

"I'm gonna take this..." Ironwood said to both Qrow and Ozpin as he took his phone out and walked away leaving them to celebrate with themselves. "Hello?"

"It's me, Trigger", an old hoarsely male voice greeted. "How's the heist?"

"It's in the bag", Ironwood gladly said as he took another sip of his beer.

"Already done??" Trigger almost laughed. "And this is why I work with you, Ironwood! You're my number one favorite thief! Now that you have the necklace, meet me at Jackie Diamonds tonight in 45 minutes. How much is that jewel worth?"

"About £37,000,000", Ironwood answered.

"Well, with the exact number I have here, I would round it up to $50,000,000. Do we have a deal?"

"We have a deal."

"Great! I knew you'd play by the rules. Remember, Jackie Diamonds in 45 minutes", Trigger said before hanging up.

Ironwood placed his phone back into his pocket and smiled at how much money they were gonna earn.

He walked back in to see Qrow and Ozpin popping more bottles of beer.

"Drink 'till we get drunk!" Qrow yelled.

"Save your strengths, boys", Ironwood interrupted.

"Who was that on the phone?" Ozpin asked.

"That was Trigger. He said how much he's going to give us for the necklace."

"Obviously I did the math on the way here and the exact digit for £37,000,000 is $48,950,075. But when you round that up, you have-"

"$50,000,000", he interrupted again.

"WOOO!!" Qrow yelled as he raised both hands in the air along with his beer bottle. "$50,000,000, here we come!"
