This part of the story is pre-National Treasure the others will happen during or after.
Ian Howe growled at the piles of books and maps spread out in front of him. "This place is impossible to get into!" He snarled slamming his fist into the desktop. His girlfriend and best accomplice, Catrina also called Wild Cat by the guys, leaned casually on the desk. "Not impossible, just tough." Ian glared at her. "The last time you said that we lost three guys to the FBI and they almost got me too!" Catrina shrugged, "How the Hell was I supposed to know they would have guards patrolling the ventilation system?" Ian glared at her some more. "That's part of your job." Again, Catrina shrugged, "This time I planned the whole thing well in advance. I placed two of my own people inside the building as security guards. They haven't got a record on them and they've agreed to allow themselves to be "overpowered" by us." Ian nodded, impressed. "Excellent, now how are we going to get the money out without being caught?" Cat cocked her head, "Not so fast there, that's your job." She smirked at him. "I'm going to get my girls ready for this job. Make sure your guys are ready." With a flick of her red hair, Cat glided out of Ian's office.
"Door 12 in 10 seconds." Ian told his men. Victor cut the lock off of the steel door and pulled it aside. Cat stepped into the vault with Ian. "Like clockwork." She said, smirking slightly. Ian nodded to his men. "Get to work." The men started shoving money into bags. Soon they had emptied the entire vault into their backpacks and duffel bags. Cat and Ian scooped up their share of the bags. The group picked their way back along the corridor to the exit. Everyone else climbed up through the grating into the truck and Cat started tossing up the remaining bags. She had just tossed up the last bag when a guard turned the corner into the tunnel. "Damn!" She gasped. Luckily the guard couldn't see her face in the shadows as he raced towards her. "Give me a hand here!" She called to Ian. Ian grasped her wrist and pulled her into the back of the truck. The trap door slammed into place behind her. "That was close." Ian breathed, clutching Cat to his chest. He kissed her gently as they rode along in silence. She let her eyes close as she lay in the safe circle of his arms.
"Ian?" Victor called to him through the locked door. "Go away!" Ian snapped, throwing a shoe at it while continuing to kiss Cat. Cat moaned as his lips found a tender spot on her chest. "It's urgent, the cops are out here!" Ian stopped moving for a moment. "Forgive me, love." He whispered to Cat. She smiled silkily and slipped out of bed. Ian wrapped a robe around her shoulders and pulled on his own. Then they proceeded to the door together. Four policemen stood in the center of the front hallway. "Ah, Mr. Howe," The men blushed as they spotted Cat in her robe, "We got a tip last night that you might know something about the huge lift that happened two days ago at the safes." Ian kept his face impassive even though his heart was pounding. What if they took Cat away from him? Apparently Cat had the same thought for she gripped his hand tightly. "I don't know anything about it." He replied to the unspoken question. "How about your lady friend?" The police turned their eyes to Cat, but not to study her for signs of lying but just to look at her. Cat used that to her advantage. "What would a girl like me know about robberies?" She leaned casually on Ian's shoulder, revealing a bit more cleavage. The police were practically drooling. Ian picked up his cue. "If you men have nothing better to do than stare at my girl, please remove yourselves from the premises." The police nodded quickly and ducked out of the building. Cat breathed a sigh of relief as they drove out of sight. Ian lifted her chin. "Much to close," He whispered, kissing her passionately. Cat pulled him gently back into the bedroom and fell backwards onto the bed. Ian slowly began to remove the robes and the passion intensified.
Sadly I don't own Ian. If I did...has extremely dirty thoughts lol. So yeah, please review.
