"Where's Marvin and the others," Damien asked as they regrouped at the meeting point.

"He wanted to use the sewer system," Jared replied.

"Why? Why don't you guys ever stick to the plan?"

"Marvin said he wanted to break out like in the movies," explained Jared, who briefly spoke to Marvin on the phone their Bee gave them.

The Bees, the minor activists, also did their part; citizens could not imagine the underworld they lived in.

"Guys, why do you do this to me? I said we were going to wear the uniforms and blend in with the police, and he is in the sewer system." Damien was angry, but he kept his calm, another one of his mottos was "no pain, no blood." Meaning that pain and bloodshed were to be avoided by all means. He fought his battles behind screens, and he didn't want to lose anyone in this action. So they waited, but they were fully aware it was just a matter of time before things got back to normal in prison and that the sirens rang their prison break.

In the meantime, the FBI witnessed an unexpected heist.

"Sir, they are not phishing; they're attacking Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and SunTrust Banks, their robbing the banks," agent Williams said.

"Freeman, look at this; they are flooding the platforms with bitcoins, Jackson said as he showed his screen to Freeman.

"Holy shit, they are transferring assets, the bastards," said Freeman while wiping his bald patch, which was shining with sweat.

The FBI took the bait; they imagined the hackers would steal personal information; no one thought they would empty bank assets.

While the action took place on diverse platforms, Ziggy watched Markus pace with the phone. When he hung up, he packed some things, looked around, "okay, let's move," Markus finally said.

"Where are we going? Where are you taking me?" Ziggy asked as Markus came to release her from the radiator.

"Sorry, Ziggy, but your gonna have to make you sleep."

"No," was all Ziggy managed to say before the chloroform made its effect.

When Ziggy woke up, Markus held the car trunk door in which she was in. L and another guy with glasses stood next to him, looking at her. The guy with the glasses stretched out his hands to help her out.

"Wow, she is skinny. Did you feed her at least," the guy with the glasses turned and glared at Markus.

"Damien, I swear I tried, but she kept thinking I tried to poison her or something," Markus explained.

Ziggy stood encircled by the eight young men.

"Bowie's taste has really changed. He used to like them with more body," Marvin said while he sculpted an hourglass body with his hands.

Damien shook his head in disapproval while he scanned Ziggy, "I think you're wrong; she is so his type. I bet you have good grades, you spend a lot of time in the library and don't have many friends. You were probably exactly like he was younger when he met you, alone and misunderstood."

"Hold up, guys; you are scaring her; we should at least present ourselves," a long-haired guy with blue eyes said.

"Go ahead, Ethan, tell her," Damien replied, giving the go-ahead.

"Well, I'm Ethan the guy with the glasses is Damien. You already know Markus and L. The fat guy is Marvin."

"I'm not fat. I'm thickly coated," Marvin retorted.

"I'm Jared," a guy who looked Asian with blue dreadlocks said.

"Brooks."

"Samuel."

"You are the Lost Boys," Ziggy said while looking at every single one of them.

"Yep, and you are Bowie's girl," Damien said.

"I'm not."

Markus smirked, "What are you talking about? You are crazy about him."

Ziggy could hear the sound of bikes coming from afar, "here comes our ride," Marvin yelled.

A guy who looked 6,5ft tall got of one of the bikes and handed Damien a laptop.

"How is it going," Jared asked as he went to stand next to Damien to look at the computer screen.

Ziggy eyes roamed around she was in a desert, the type you see on the postcard your friends sends you while they're on a road trip on route 66.

At the warehouse, they were packing up too. The mission was a success. Everything went as planned with minimal loss.

"Bowie, you know how a family is, right? Sometimes you have beef, but you fix it. So no hard feelings," Chris said, kissing Bowie on the forehead. "Mario, Lewis, we're out, and just for info, as soon as you get up from that chair, the bomb's timer will come on. You'll have 20 minutes before it sets off. So think carefully about what you are going to do when the feds arrive and play the victim; it might work," Chris said before leaving.

The guys finished packing, and they drove off, leaving Bowie alone with the overheated servers. Twenty minutes after Chris's departure, flashing lights filled the warehouse.

This was the moment Bowie dreaded as he wondered whether he would see the next day.

In the desert, Damien brought the finishing touches to the operation."Okay, guys, it's all good."

Jared received a call; he passed the phone to Damien, who smiled as he spoke and looked at Ziggy. When he hung up, Damien came up to her and whispered in her ear, "Tinker Bell says to end it like a shoujo manga," then, out loud, he added, "take care of our brother Wendy, okay, guys, we're out of here."

Damien went and climbed behind one of the bikers.

Markus came up to her, "sorry about everything, Ziggy. No hard feelings right, I was just doing my job," he said before going to climb on a bike too.

"Do you really kill people? Ziggy asked.

Markus winked, "yep, I've killed more than 500 in Los Santos [city in GTA 5]."

They all climbed on the back of the bikers Harvey's before driving off and leaving Ziggy in the middle of nowhere.
