Heisters (RWBY modern AU fanfiction)

6: New Recruits

The gang was surprisingly in deep sleep until the clock had struck to 8:00 AM.

Knowing what they had to do today, all three had woken up from their sleep, freshened themselves up, got dressed, and all met with each other in the living room.

"You ready?" Ironwood asked.

"I'm all set", Ozpin answered.

"I'm set, too", Qrow answered as well as he sheathed his gun beside him. "I don't trust the guy. He may pull a trick on us."

"I agree as well", Ozpin grinned as he, too, sheathed his gun to his belt as well.

"Already did that", Ironwood also had his gun.

The gang shared a laugh knowing that they were prepared.

They all exited out of there penthouse, walked downstairs, and reached to their car as they entered it for Ironwood to start the engine and drive away to the old warehouse.

They finally made it to the same warehouse they used to plot the Oculus Trust heist.

They walked into the old building as they saw Roman standing in the middle of the wide and open spaced room. The same room they used a long time ago...

"There you are!" Roman greeted. "Almost thought you were gonna leave me hanging."

"A deal is a deal, remember?" Ironwood said as he shook Roman's hand.

"Alright", Qrow chimed. "We're here as promised. Now start talking."

"It's 9:00 in the morning and you already have a hot-temper", Roman chuckled. "Anyway, this shouldn't take too long to explain."

"Wait, before you explain, I just have to ask one question", Ozpin interrupted.

"Go ahead."

"What did you mean when you said about having a chance to live a normal life?"

"That is what I'm gonna explain now", Roman smiled. "The last time we tried robbing the Oculus Trust Bank, how much money was in the main vault?"

"About over $70,000", Ironwood answered.

"Wait wait wait", Qrow interrupted. "Roman, you want us to rob the same bank that can only hold $70,000? That seems pretty cheap."

"At that time, it could only hold $70,000", Roman continued. "But they renovated the vault."

Ironwood, Qrow, and Ozpin exchanged perplexed looks until they all faced Roman again.

"The vault can now hold up to $800,000,000,000."

"WHAT??" Qrow yelled in shock. "$800,000,000,000?!"

"That's right", Roman responded. "Now, to answer your question, Ozpin, this heist may change your lives forever."

"What do you mean...?" Ironwood asked.

"Instead of having to lie to Glynda more often, you can finally be honest with her."

"Oh, and what? I tell her that I'm still a criminal today?"

"That's not what I said...." Roman grinned. "I am saying that if we complete this job, the ONE job we couldn't finish before, and taking the $800,000,000,000 in our hands, we shouldn't even be worrying about being master thieves anymore. You could finally find yourselves a decent job that you could make money out of instead of taking them forcibly."

"So, this is the end of all heists?" Ozpin asked.

"You are correct, my friend", Roman answered. "Fellows, you can finally clear your names from the criminal board! Restart your lives to a fresh new one! Be with the people you care for without having to worry where the cops are! With $800,000,000,000 in your hands, who would want to steal anymore? You can finally blend in with normal people with normal lives. Ironwood, if we do this, you can finally stop lying to Glynda."
