"Hey Danny, where are you going?" Mickey shouted.
"Out. I'll be back in about half an hour," Danny replied as he headed for the door.
"Out where? We need to talk about this latest con. We can't pull this off without you. It's one of the biggest cons we've done and it needs a lot of planning."
"Just to the shop. Something I really need to get and…er…the shop shuts soon," Danny said as the door slammed shut behind him.
Mickey sighed, but let him go. He began planning out the basic ideas for the con and the others filled in the time playing a game of cards.
Danny walked down the street, wrapping his jacket tightly around him to block out the cold wind and rain. He hurried along the street until he reached a tall building block.
The building was really old and crumbling at one side. A lot of the windows were smashed and the wooden door had bullet holes all over it and a small hole in the bottom corner, probably from mice or rats. The place had been abandoned for ages after a massive fight happened between some con artists and the police. It had been the meeting place of some con artists and the police found out about it. However, the con artists were prepared and were willing to kill to save themselves. They had caused many problems and even had killed some of their marks, cleverly hiding their tracks afterwards. It took nearly ten years for the police to locate them and when they did they kept an eye on them. Eventually they went to arrest them. One con artist died along with five police officers and the other con artists were arrested and put away for life.
It was Danny who had found this place and, despite arguments, it was arranged they would meet here. It held many bad memories, but no one would ever come searching for them here. They were safe.
Danny walked through the door which swung open on one hinge, the bottom one was on the floor nearby. The door scraped along the concrete floor. His footsteps could be heard as he walked up the steps. As he walked along he ignored the damp and blood on the walls. He was careful not to lean of the banister which was leaning slightly and would probably come loose at the slightest weight on it.
At the top of the stairs he turned to the left and headed for the door at the end. He knocked three times and turned the handle, tossing it carelessly to the floor when it came off in his hand.
"Hey, what do you want?" Danny asked.
"Mr Blue, glad you could make it," a man said with a slight smile. "We have something to discuss."
"We have nothing to discuss. I already told you. I'm in the gang and going ahead with our plans."
"We just want to make sure. We can't have anything going wrong this time. We've been trying for so long and they get away every time. You need to make sure you have everything planned and that you are sure about this," the man said, now standing in front of Danny with a serious look on his face.
"I'm sure. We're on the same side and I know what is happening, though thanks to you I'm going to be late for an important meeting. If you want all the details then we'll meet some other time just before the con goes ahead. Is that all?" Danny asked impatiently.
"Yes. Keep us updated and we'll see you soon. Maybe somewhere other than here though," the man said with a laugh.
"We don't want them to find out. I will keep you updated and we will meet here," Danny said sharply. With a sigh the other man nodded. Danny held out his hand. They shook hands and Danny left him, getting out the building in record time. He didn't like it any more than the other man did, but he needed to know he could talk with no one finding out.
Danny made his way back to the hotel the gang were staying at and went straight in. Mickey and the others were sat around the table and were just starting to talk about the con.
"So you made it then? Got what you wanted?" Mickey asked. Danny nodded and sat down in the empty seat opposite Mickey. "Good. So as I was saying, this is important. We need to get rid of the security guards, block the cameras and turn off the lights so no one can see anything while it's happening. We will be around the back except for you Danny. You will be at the front to check everything goes as planned and you will join us around the side later."
Mickey continued with his plan and Danny listened carefully. No one had any idea that he was planning as well and that this con may not go as well as hoped.
