From now on me and Andrés had to keep our love a secret, Sergio said it was vital it was kept quiet until the heist was over.

We take separate cars so no one is instantly suspicious, and already I feel lost without him. Last night was beyond perfect, but the heist was now what was stopping us from enjoying the dream life we had created.

When we arrive I see Andrés is already here along with Sergio. Four people I don't recognise are standing around in a huddle. I hop out the car and narrow my eyes at them all, quickly observing those that are already here.

Andrés gives me a quick wink and smirks at me, which I then mirror. "Welcome." Sergio says to me kindly, pretending we hardly knew each other. "We're just waiting on three more, then we can begin."

I begin to look more carefully at my new criminal friends. I start with the twins who are both very strongly built, they must have been soldiers with such structure. One has a beanie on, the other has a scruff of hair just at the top of his head, but their beards match, however, it's easy to tell the difference between them.

The only other girl here giggles and grins a smile, I'm cautious of this, she's either crazy or just a nice person. I obviously hope for the latter and I give a small smile back. Her hair is as black as a raven, and her eyes tells me she's fierce, and for that I like her. I can't help but think her fashion sense is terrible however, she has a feathered jacket on that makes her look wide when really she has a small, boney structure. I wonder if me and her could actually be friends, instead of just allies. I can tell she's older than me, but not by much.

I finally cast my eye across to the youngest criminal. Even under his grey hood I notice he has a baby face with big brown eyes like a doe about to be shot by a hunter. He too gives me a small smile and I smile back. I question his age might be a disadvantage, but if Sergio wants someone as young as him, he must have a rare talent. Truthfully, the boy was cute, we could've even been a good pairing if I liked men my age. He seems as though he'll be loyal, but something tells me he'll get distracted easily.

Whilst I observe, two more people arrive. One short and older who is plump, the other much younger but thin. The younger man must be late twenties, and gives a beaming smile showing his teeth, he gives a deep, repetitive laugh that sounds like a record has a scratch and keeps getting played over and over again. So I smile at him, knowing this one will be fun to have around. The older gentleman seems quiet, kind. I know Sergio needed someone who understood mining and every tool needed to get out - this had to be him. Apart from that, I couldn't see him as much use for us, did he look like he could shoot someone? Absolutely not, but I didn't know him yet. The more I look at the pair the more I realise how similar they look, they must be related. Father and son? No, surely not! What a strange thing to do as a bonding activity, but then... Here I am, doing this with Andrés.

I feel good about the team, so I smile in relief.

"Ah, finally, our last member." Sergio calls gladly, seeing us all together.

I turn around quickly to see the final member. The woman has a huge smirk plastered across her pale face, her hair is short in a bob, and she has bangs cover her eyebrows. She likes being the last because she knows she's making a memorable first impression. I don't take well to this one, she seems cocky and reckless. But who am I to judge from appearances? I also know I can't have conflicts with anyone prior to the heist, or it could be me to bring it to failure which Andrés would hate. So I flash her a friendly smile, but she does not return it. She's cold, and fearless which makes me wonder if she's hot-headed and loses her rag easily.

"Shall we go inside?" Sergio says, the silence between us was intense, not one of us had spoken a word.

We begin walking through the house in which we would all call home for the next 5 months. It was dark, and not very clean but it was what I was used to. However the house itself was beautiful, and it sat right in the middle of nowhere - perfect for preparing the heist.
