The Plan

They returned back to the office, Clay grabbed the map of the bank again. “Ok, so now almost everything is clear, let’s continue the plan.” Clay said. “There is only place that doesn’t have any cameras, can you tell?” Clay asked, to increase the suspense. “The roof?” Zack asked without total confidence. “Yeah, who puts a camera on top of the roof?” Clay replied with a rhetorical question. “That’s why you are going through the roof, Zack.” He continued. “Ok, I understand, but although there are no cameras. How am I not going to be seen by the people on the street?” Zack asked. “That’s Kaito’s main role, distraction, but Kaito, whatever you are going to do, it must be brutal, so that the security guards would approach you, and then you let them pull you, to push them later into the vault.” Clay stated, but they seemed to be confused.

Clay reckoned the confusion drawn on their faces, he grabbed the map and moved closer to them, holding a covered marker. “Look, the whole building is L-shaped. This vertical compartment on the left is where Tucker and I will enter, this horizontal part is where the vault lays. The back door is directly connected to the vault, so you Zack have to be exactly on the top of the vault, to stick your landing from the roof.” Clay explained, using the marker for elaboration. “After pushing the guards into the vault, Kaito, you will hop inside the vault, tilting the security camera to face the fainted guards, and help Zack grabbing the money.” He continued. “Are you sure the vault has only one security camera?” Tucker asked keenly. “As far as I know, yes.” Clay replied immediately.

Clay started following on, “Meanwhile, Tucker and I will be taking as much time as we can to distract the main hall of the bank.” Clay's plan was intercepted by a question from Zack, “But you said everyone is going to have two roles. What is my second role?” Zack asked questionably. “You will be doing what you are best at, Zack. You will be driving.” Clay answered. “As soon as we see you running outside of the bank, with the money bags, we are going to end the conflict and head directly back to the car.” Clay continued. “Leaving our picture-less new ID cards behind. Wow!” Tucker called out, figuring out the rest of Clay’s plan, with both shock and amazement. Clay non-purposely smiled. “I didn’t see that coming. I knew you were the devils.” Zack mentioned in disbelief enlarging the brothers value. Kaito liked the plan, but started getting angry of Zack's repetition of the same compliment.

Everyone seemed to be amazed, including Elsa, except Kaito, “Are you sure this is going to work, Clay?” Kaito asked in worrisome. “The plan is solid Kaito, if everything goes as planned, it will.” Clay replied in confidence. “I don’t know, we are speaking about the top guarded security bank in the world here, and you know nothing always goes perfectly as planned.” Kaito said. “Don’t worry Kaito, Clay have almost planned every heist we made, they all went by the book.” Tucker replied to Kaito, supporting his brother. “What about the part of grabbing the money? I mean like, why the rush if we still haven’t figured out the whole plan?” Kaito asked, as a suggestion for delay. “I’ll figure it out tonight.” Clay replied quickly, still full of confidence. “You said earlier that we are going to practice tomorrow. What exactly are we going to practice?” Zack asked, not only for information, he wanted to stop Kaito’s drawing back. “Basics.” Clay answered, in awkward satisfaction.

They started getting out of the office soon, with the case not fully closed, but Clay had total conviction that it was settled. “Don’t worry, we will revise tomorrow.” Tucker said, comforting Kaito by tapping on his shoulder, when they were the last two to leave the office. Kaito and Elsa approached their open kitchens to have a drink, while Zack was contemplating at the view from the window, as the sun started to set. Clay headed towards his room, he laid himself on the bed thinking about the plan, he had minor fears, but never proclaimed to anyone. Tucker joined him soon, “What are you going to do about that?” Tucker asked Clay, while sitting on a chair in the room. “I will really figure it out tonight. I won’t sleep till I get it.” Clay replied stubbornly. “Do you think it’s really going to work, Clay?” Tucker asked in uneasiness.
