A Dish Best Served Cold

A/N: This story was inspired by Ocean's 13 and adapted for the Twilight Cast. It is not your typical Twilight fanfiction starring Edward and Bella. This isn't a romance. It's a story that is fast paced with lots of winding twists and turns, it's funny and I am sure that if you take the time to read it… you will love it. So, without further delay…

Prologue

Under the blanket of a warm starry night in the heart of Valencia, California, Jasper pulled on his ski mask and slid down the cable silently as the night that surrounded him. It was 2:43 am when his feet hit the concrete floor. He was the last person on this three man team to enter the Walmart Superstore that had closed only a few hours earlier.

The other two guys that had gone ahead of him had already done the heavy work. After Jasper took out the video surveillance and alarm system, they cut the entrance hole through the roof. After they were in, they cut another through the wall that led to the bank vault of Wells Fargo.

When Jasper approached the vault door, he touched the computer screen with a gloved hand. Just as he was getting ready to initiate the sequence that would crack the safe, his cell phone vibrated in his back pocket.

Jasper pulled it out and looked at the screen and answered the call while the other two members of his team looked at him in confusion.

"What are you doing?" The larger masked man asked through gritted teeth.

Jasper held a hand up to silence him as he pulled his mask off and warned him off with a tight shake of his head. He was damn well taking this call.

"Yeah." Jasper said as he briefly glanced up toward the ceiling.

"Carlisle's in trouble, I need your help." Edward said briskly.

"Shit, where is he?" Jasper spat and shook his head with great concern.

"Valley Hospital. My Plane is on the tarmac now." Edward's voice was filled with dread and he said no more, ending the call.

Jasper hit the end button, slipped the phone back in his rear pocket and turned to address the two guys that were frozen, just staring at him. "Gotta go." He packed up his bag, hiked it over his left shoulder and walked out without a glance backwards.

The other guys were left just standing there gaping at each other in utter disbelief at what just went down. Jasper Whitlock just skipped out on a bank job, as a matter of fact – right in the middle of it. And it was HIS job!

The big one threw down his black duffle bag. "Well damn."

A/N: It's only the prologue I know, it's short. I already have the story outlined and a good bit pre-written. I do not have a Beta, so all mistakes are mine. I'll try very hard to catch the bulk of errors before I post each chapter. If you are a Beta and are interested and able to help me, I would love to work with you. Just PM me.

I will do my best to answer all reviews and you should know by now that the only reward an author gets out of writing fanfiction is to hear the voice of the audience. It means more to me than you will ever know that you would 1)take the time to read anything I've written 2) take the time to click on the review button and leave me your thoughts. So, please… share with me your impression – even if it is only a couple of words. If you have ever checked the traffic stats of a story that you have written… you know what I mean when I say that it juices me up to crank out chapters at lightning pace.

I'm not above begging… so thanks in advance… Now, on with the show…
