The guys untied my hands and legs but I was still sitting on the chair. Thinking and freaking out (mostly freaking out, due to confusion but you get the idea)

"So you want me to work WITH you and help you plan a heist that involves breaking into the most secure house on the East Side" I wondered out loud. I thought it sounded extremely ridiculous and stupid in my head but nope.

"That's just ridiculous" I declared.

"No its not, be practical" the guy who seemed like the main guy replied.

"I don't see anything practical about it. Aside from the fact that The Boss would definitely send his men after me if he learnt that I am doing someone else's work" I mentally shuddered. "Even then, there's the matter of the whole 'most-secure-house' thing going on"

"You don't really have to go with us. You are just gonna help us plan the whole thing and use that smart brain of your and come up with fool-prrof plans" the black-haired guy replied with a wicked smile. The blonde guy handed me a can of soda and I instantly opened it and enjoyed the feel of the cool liquid going down my throat.

"I am not a very good thief. I mean I got caught after all" I gestured around the room for emphasis.

"That was because we KNEW you would come. We looked through your files and you only got caught once before. Not a perfect record but we still think you can handle it" it was the blonde guys turn now.

Wait, these people knew about me?! And did they mean by 'we looked through your file'. How much did they know?

"How did you KNOW that I was going to come?" I asked with a puzzled expression.

"We had to pay the guy who delivered the message to you. Once we offered him the right amount he told us everything we wanted" the guy in the middle replied.

"But why go through the trouble of actually kidnapping me and beating up Jesper when you already knew all the stuff I told you" I asked giving each of them a glare. Even after seeing Jesper (who was in fact being treated) I was still suspicious of these boys.

"We needed to be sure and I tried my best to not do any serious damage" the blonde guy,who earlier dragged Jesper, answered.

"And what do you mean by 'we looked through your files'?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"Exactly that. We just did a quick background check. Its routine."

"But what's in it for me?" I asked sipping my soda. It was as if these guys were doing their best to answer all my questions using as little words as possible. I HAD to know how much exactly they knew about me but that had to wait.

"Aside from the ridiculously high amount you are gonna get paid! " The black-haired dude scoffed. That only earned him a blank stare for me. It was actually something that would be really really helpful for me but they didn't have to know that.

"Isn't that motivation enough?" the guy in the middle asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Maybe " I replied with a shrug. On the outside I must have looked like a calm person but on the inside I was freaking out! How could a bunch of teenagers promise to pay me so much money and that too for doing shady things.

Earlier they said that they only did a quick background check and I don't know how much they knew about me. I couldn't afford to NOT know if three random dudes knew my secrets. I HAD to find out how much did they know. Also, you knwo what they say;

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

I opened my mouth to ask something when the guy in the middle spoke again. "We will pay you triple" he replied in a calm tone.
