Heisters (RWBY modern AU fanfiction)

9: Day 1

The next day had already reached to its time.

The three men had prepared what they needed for what was going to happen today. The redo of the Oculus Trust heist.

You would think it would be unnecessary, but having no faith of what was gonna happen in the future, they had packed their pistols and ammo in case if Roman was gonna go crazy again.

The doorbell had rung right after they completed their packing.

Ironwood had opened the door to reveal the fiery orange haired Torchwick standing at the door.

"Come on, I'm picking you up", was Roman's greeting.

The three men had joined with Roman inside the white van with Cinder on the passenger seat.

"Do we have everything?" Cinder asked her lover.

"Yes, my dear", Roman answered with a grin.

Qrow rolled his eyes to whether he should be sick or happy for the partners-in-crime couple.

After they started the van and drove off, it was without a doubt that all of their hearts were beating fast.

This was the day. The day that they were going back to Oculus Trust. Just the thought of failing made Ironwood nervous. If he fails, will it affect Glynda, too? Will his failure.... kill Glynda? His one and only?

"Mercury is already at the bank", Roman's voice had interrupted Ironwood's thinking. "The interview is already set up as I speak. Ozzy, do me a favor and open up that laptop next to you."

Next to Ozpin's lap was a closed black laptop. This type of technology didn't seem to be legal in Atlas, neither did it LOOK legal.

Ozpin grabbed the laptop and opened it as the screen revealed four camera windows.

"As you see, there are four hidden cameras in the bank", Cinder explained. "One in front of the entrance, another in the main hall, another in front of the accountants, and the last one near the doorway entry that leads to the main vault. We placed another hidden camera on Mercury's tie so we could watch how the interview will go. If he gets hired, we will wait until Mercury has access to the vault."

"So, kids, any questions?" Roman asked with a grin.

Qrow raised his hand, along with a concerned look on his face.

"Yes, Qrow?"

"Is there a backup plan?" he asked. "If Mercury doesn't get hired for the job, what will WE do?"

"Well, there is nothing better than barging into a bank armed with guns and grenades."

As Roman grinned evilly, inside Ironwood's head flashed the horrific memories. No, not again.... His one current wish was for Roman to be a better man. Not a killer maniac.

"What will I do?" Cinder purred as she played with a lock of her lover's flamey orange hair, which made Roman caress her hand.

"You're always welcome to join in", Roman purred back. "Plus, it would be less fun if you weren't there."

With Roman's soft kisses on her hand, Cinder had bit her lip as she felt an electricity of pleasure running through veins. Yes, they are a dangerous criminal couple, but this wasn't about lust. Even through their insane minds, deep down they loved each other.

Ironwood had stared at the couple as he remembered how it was like with Glynda. After looking into her green orbs filled with fear, all he felt was remorse. Qrow and Ozpin helped their leader grow out of it after 9 years. Eventually, he did. It took 9 years to forget about her. "Move on", Qrow would say. "She's not the only one out there." Sadly, Ironwood had to disagree. She WAS the only one out there. The RIGHT one. The PERFECT one. And he had lost her...
