Criminal Record

Understanding makes Perfect!

Kaito bit his lips again, “Away from the cute family issues, can someone explain to me what the fuck is happening here?” He asked with a bold tone. “Where is the fucking money?” He shouted. Clay left Kay and approached Kaito, “Your money is laying somewhere in the western part of the map.” Clay said, with a slight smile. “My house?” Kaito asked in shock. “Something had to replace your clothes. Congratulations Kaito, you are a billionaire.” Clay said, with the same constant smile. Kaito thought for moments, he was confused, he didn’t know what was the correct words to say, or the right expressions to show. “But how?” He asked, like a student who can’t understand a new material. “You can ask her.” Clay pointed at Elsa. Elsa pulled a face at Clay, “Don’t do that, he had to know, I’ll be storytelling now.” He replied.

Kaito looked tightly at Elsa, “Elsa?” He asked. “This is not everything Clay, right? There are things you didn’t tell us about?” Zack asked questionably. Clay got out his mobile phone from his trousers’ pocket, and gestured with his hand to wait. Soon a loud notification was heard from his mobile phone, he tapped a couple of taps, and then smiled as he read the anticipated message. “What is it?” Zack asked. Clay threw off his phone to Zack, he read the message, and then handed it to Kaito. The message said, ‘Dear Customer, 2.6 billions have been transferred successfully to your account. We hope we have been up to the expected convenience. Thank you for your trust.’

Kaito and Zack looked at each other, and then switched their looks to Clay, but Tucker was standing in a middle land between knowing, and unknowing, between curiosity and regularity. “What does that mean?” Kaito asked. “Well, if I should tell you about this, then we would need to flashback. We would need to start from the very beginning, and from the very beginning, I mean the part when you were arguing to postpone the heist. You were right we haven’t made a heist before without at least a week difference between the plan and the heist. “ Clay started to explain, and everyone in the storage was hearing deeply, even Kelly and the coach.

He cleared his throat and continued, “On this day, I knew some how that Victor was going to receive an amount of 2.6 billions from the Green Park Bank, another trusted source told me that this was exactly the amount of cash in the bank’s vault.” He explained. “I knew Victor was going to be present at the bank on this day, so seeing him wasn’t a coincidence. When Tucker and I entered the bank, we stole his credit card, when we bumped at him on purpose. So we received the transaction instead of him, not only that but his presence at the bank at the same time of the heist, with his name on our fake identity cards, made him the only suspect the police has.” He followed up.

All of them were standing, mesmerized, but Clay continued to speak before any of them starts, “Reaching to the part of Elsa, Elsa had a tracker of our movement, she was always tracking us, and during the pursuit she was always close. When I stopped intentionally for a coffee break, which I knew it was going to be a not refused offer after all what happened. She had your car and switched the money bags with identical bags containing your clothes. I knew the police were going to be close by, so I took my precautions. What I didn’t expect at all, was Victor's early visit, I knew he would absolutely come, but I never imagined it would be so damn early. At this point I thought that everything could be over, but fortunately you saved us, and your coach had our backs.” He stated, and kneeled for the coach as respect.

“Finally Elsa took the money back to your home, the last place anyone would expect the money in...” Clay was intercepted by Zack  “Defying the odds.” Zack mentioned. Clay nodded, and then followed up his sentence, “... and then she came back to the storage to stick to the original plan... and the rest you already know.” Clay said, and the final part was triggered mostly at Kaito. “So we actually stole the same amount of money twice?” Zack asked questionably. “Exactly.” Clay replied immediately. “Damn!” Zack called out in astonishment. “What kind of mind do you man have?” Zack asked a rhetorical question as a praise to Clay. Clay smiled, but ignored Zack’s reaction, and focused with Kaito’s.

Kaito chuckled, “It seems we are really dealing with the devils.” Kaito mentioned, but Clay was surprised from his reaction. “Aren’t you mad, I got Elsa into this?” He asked. “Hell no, you have saved our asses today. More than once I would have to say, you have been storing all of this, and causing distractions. Your plan saved the day.” Kaito exalted him. “You knew about all of this?” Kaito asked Tucker. Tucker smiled and nodded. “And you didn’t tell us?” Kaito asked. “Man you are my bro, but he is my brother.” Tucker said coolly. “Not even a thing? Not even a sign?” Kaito asked. “I didn’t keep it for long though, I just knew everything today. And I was as surprised as much you are now. I don’t know how did his brain made it with all of this.” Tucker answered.

Clay smiled, and then stared at Kaito for moments, “By the way do you have any brothers?” Clay asked ridiculously. “Yeah, I do. I have three, and by the way, they are all from different mothers.” Kaito answered with a smile. Clay giggled, and hugged Kaito a gentlemen's tight hug, although it was elegant and cool, but nevertheless it was emotional and sensational. “Dad, you are like a mega mind.” Kay added. They laughed at his total cuteness. “You have hard work to do tonight.” Kaito said, and pointed gently at Kelly. Clay walked towards Kelly, “We are going to talk about everything back home, I promise, but this time it’s a real promise.” Clay said, and put his arms around Kelly as they walked.

Clay walked past Kaito, and tapped on his shoulder, “Tomorrow morning at my place.” Kaito said faintly. Clay nodded, and walked off to Tucker and Zack. Zack hesitated to ask, but he did, “Now everything started to be clear, but there is something I don’t understand. Why did we have fake ID cards like you did? I mean ours were useless, we were not inside that part of the action.” Zack asked. “Well try explaining this to the not-knowing anything you. It would have been harder than the heist itself.” Clay smiled. “I just didn’t want anything to be suspicious, and that definitely  would have been.” Clay added. Zack winked at him, and Tucker smiled. “The kid have grown up so quick, Clay. So quick that I am waiting to see him leading his own gang, just like his father did.” Tucker said the joke, Clay chuckled, but Kelly scowled at him. They left the storage and left the rest inside.

Zack went out of the storage after Kaito's coach left, he waited in his car for Kaito. Later Kaito grabbed the bags with his clothes, side-hugging Elsa and got out of the storage. Kaito got inside his car, and then parked beside Zack’s car. “It seems it will end the same way it started.” Zack said emotionally. Kaito nodded, and put on his sunglasses to hide his sensational eyes. “See you my friend.” Zack claimed. Kaito accelerated, leaving Zack behind, but soon Zack got himself back together and started driving.

Clay had a long silent way home, he was just staring at Kelly, this time he wasn’t embarrassed or afraid, he was just monitoring her reactions and status, which were getting better with time. Kay didn’t stop talking about how heroic his father was, and how glorious he was in his own point of view, until he slept unwillingly. They reached home, Clay and Kelly went on discussing everything and satisfied each other. This night Clay slept comfortably, the first comfortable night in ages, he didn’t have anything to worry about, not Kelly, not the failure of the heist, not the expenses, and most importantly not the loss of his friends again.
