For the celebration of 6 months since I created my account on this site. As a reward for my fans, I have decided to remaster my first and most popular fic, Rio: The Heist. I'm planning on improving this story and making it the fic I may be most remembered for. Without further ado, let's go!

Rio De Janeiro

Blu Bird Sanctuary

4:19am

He crept through shadows, constantly checking corners and also checking behind him. Seeing no-one, he gave a thumbs up to his colleague, before pulling down his mask. Quickly running past the empty control room, he slid into the artificial forest.

Checking his perimeter to make sure he wasn't being followed, he checked the suppressor on his Mk. 23 pistol. He had no intention of firing on his intended targets, but it never hurt to make sure. Sneaking through the forest, and being careful not to make any kind of sound, he sneaked up to the first tree. Climbing up, he reached in and extracted a sleeping Toco Toucan, before putting it in a bag and sealing it. He then moved onto a second tree where a Red Crested Cardinal and a Yellow Canary were resting. He took the Cardinal and put it in another bag. He then carefully took out the Canary, making sure to keep his bottle cap on his head so as to not spook him.

The man then moved onto the final tree. Climbing up, his eyes fell on two Spix's Macaws, both fast asleep. He studied how one was a beautiful azure blue female with neat feathers, and how the other was an indigo blue male who looked scruffy in comparison. He decided to take the scruffy one first. Reaching out a gloved hand, he gently grabbed the male macaw and carefully put him in a final bag. Unfortunately, at that time, the female woke up, noticed the male's disappearance, and focused her blue eyes on the masked man at the entrance of their hollow. She suddenly shot out of the tree, with the man sliding down to start his pursuit.

Another man noticed the escapee, and rushed into the artificial forest to help his colleague. He was carrying a cage, and had a ghillie suit on, similar to the ones worn by snipers. He lay down prone in the vegetation, watching the space in front of him. When he saw the macaw, who was looking back, he quickly got up and held a cage in front of the macaw. She flew straight into the cage, and the man shut the door. He high fived his colleague.

From there, it was simply a case of getting out, which was ridiculously easy with the non-existent security, and getting to the Volkswagen Touareg SUV which was their transport. Mission accomplished, they drove to a building, where they were waved inside. They got out, with one of the men carrying the bags into a plush office.

"Reyes." He called. "I have the birds."

"Good Zizi." The man in the office chair swivelled around. "You will be rewarded for your efforts. Are they alive?"

"Yes."

"Then they shall join the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and the two Canadian Geese in the vault. Not even God himself will be able to get at those birds." A smirk formed on his face...
