Chapter 5

 Gabrielle sat straighter in her seat listening to Nicole as she said " Look, our family may not be the best, it isn't perfect, it has a history full of lies and thievery, but it doesn't deserve to be conned like this."
" I won't judge your family..At least you know what it's like to have one.." Gabrielle said, whispering the last part to herself. " So your family wants it back now? "  she questionned looking at Sky, before looking over to Nicole who answered " They regret their choices, but they're willing to live with it..."
" However, we, just want to serve justice." Sky finished, smiling his signature Sky smile.

" Revenge? " Gabrielle questionned suspicious of their ulterior motives. Sky, still smiling, shook his head lightly and answered " Just Justice. "
He leaned back on the couch, reaching behind him and grabbing what looked like to be blue prints before leaning forward and placing them on the coffee table. Everyone huddled over the blue prints, as Gabrielle pointed to a spot on the fifth floor of the Vangh Cooperation and asked " Is this where they keep the Sophia? " Sky shook his head and answered " No, not quite."
Sky pointed to a different spot that looked like the layout for an office and said " This, is the office of Jonson J. Vangh, the family business treasurer, he'll have the information on the location of the Sophia. His older brother, is the current owner of the Vangh Company, so he " owns " the Sophia.

" This is the kind of building that once you're in, you're in and there's not much of a radar. " Tim said
" But the problem is " Erick started saying and Patrick continued " to get in. "
" Without anyone knowing. "' Shayla added

Gabrielle scanned the blue print and imagined the room, " There are too many cameras and no blind spots, you can't hack the building from the outside.."
" Only up to a certain point. " Tim said
Rolling her eyes but smiling nonetheless Gabrielle said " You can't "boom" your way in, it'll only bring the unwanted eyes and attention of bystanders. " The twins bowed their heads, clearly disappointed. Gabrielle shifted her gaze to Shay and Shayla and said " It'll be impossible to go in unseen, so we'll just be seen as we go in. "
" What?! " Patrick exclaimed incredulously. Gabrielle looked over to Nicole who smiled in understanding. " We grift ourselves in. " Gabrielle said

" Does this mean you're in? " Sky asked causing Gabrielle to freeze as she thought about it. Looking around the room, then back at Sky, Gabrielle asked " Can we talk?"
Sky nodded growing serious and led her to a balcony through the glass doors of a study room.
" You don't need me Sky. " Gabrielle said
Sky shook his head, " You're an amazing thief, we wouldn't have come to you if we didn't need you." he said
" There's a commandment that says " You shall not steal". " Gabrielle stated
" You believe in christianity, but you attend services from outside the church. Why? " Sky asked
" I don't steal, I re-steal. I believe god exists, just like the air, you can't see it but it's there..." She replied. Sky thought what she just said, didn't sound like a thief, it sounded like an honest person.
An honest thief, he concluded.

" Look, I don't want to pressure you or force you to help us.. We would owe you a favour. " Sky said turning to Gabrielle. Sky's face was inches away as he leaned towards hers, he felt the need to know what secrets her eyes held. Sky put his hand out, reaching for her face but Gabrielle looked away, breaking her gaze from his blue eyes as she said " I'll help you and your crew to take back the Sophia."
" If you're in, you're in. You're a part of us and we'll re-steal the Sophia with our crew. " Sky said
