Ocean's Twelve

The Heist

Danny woke up to the bedside phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Buon giorno, Mr. Eisenhower," Danny was greeted,"This is your 5 a.m. wake-up call.

"Really?"

"Yes, I'm afraid. Have a nice day, sir."

He checked his watch and shrugged. Day of.

Rusty left Emilia in bed as he wandered to the door to stop the relentless knocking.

"Hey," he greeted as he saw Danny.

Danny looked Rusty up and down,"What are you doing?"

Rusty looked at him strangely,"What...? Sleeping. Why are you dressed?"

"It's 5:30, day of,"Danny replied,"We gotta go. Let's go."

Rusty stared at him, showing him his watch,"It's 11:30. The night before."

Danny looked back towards the direction of his room,"But..." he muttered incoherently and confused, then turned and focused on Rusty.

"Oh," Rusty said as he realised it was Toulour,"Oh he's mean. He's just mean-spirited. How many espressos did you have?"

"Five."

"Yeah, come on." Rusty waved him in.

Danny looked at the stain of red wine on the wall,"Have you made up?"

Rusty turned to where Danny was staring and a chuckle left his lips,"Yeah, we have. Sorry if you heard us yelling."

Danny waved him off,"Nah it's fine. Just as long as you're both okay."

"Yeah we're good."

"She sleeping?" Danny asked with a smirk, knowing what they would've done afterwards.

Rusty once again chuckled as he settled himself next to his friend with wine,"Like a baby."

"So does that mean you're a couple?"

"Not sure, but I'm gonna say yeah."

And the men settled watching the tv in comfortable silence.

"I don't know if she's just confused...or she's really turned the corner and hates me now,"Rusty began after a while, referring to Isabel,"You think I handled this wrong? I just don't want the team to get backlash. She should stop doing her job and give us a break." He got no answer but Danny tried to fill his glass up.

"You know, I talked to a doctor about getting that tattoo removed. But given its location, he advised against it." Again, Danny didn't answer. He just watched the Italian programme.

"That guy doing Potsie is unbelievable,"Danny spoke.

"Danny?" Both men looked to the source of the voice,"What are you doing here?"

Emilia perched herself down in the middle of the two men, snuggling into her brother and giving Rusty her legs. Smiles both graced their lips at her, Danny wrapped his arms around her.

"So I get your feet do I?" Rusty asked in fake annoyance.

"Yep," Emilia said with a smirk, and gradually fell back to sleep.
