LA
Danny stepped through security in the airport to see his twin brother virgil leaning against one of the walls. "Look who decided to grace us his presence." The smirk on Virgil's face annoyed Danny. He was having enough of a bad day, he didn't need his brother's crap right now.
"Shut up Virg," Walking right past him to get to baggage claim to grab the duffel bag that was all there was left in his life. It didn't take long for him to spy the red duffel that he needed, he spun around to see Virgil waiting by the exit door and walked toward him.
"It is good to see you to asshat." Virgil spat. "I haven't seen you in over a year and you come off the plane acting like a hormonal little girl."
"I am not in the mood for your snide little comments jackwad." Danny supplied his usual nickname for his twin. "Let's just go meet up with Danny and the rest of them and get this started."
"Fine, I think being a cop made you grumpier." Virgil said getting into the four door sedan parked illegally outside the airport. Twenty minutes later they entered a large old warehouse with all the guys sitting around in a circle discussing the current predicament.
"Turk, sorry for interrupting your new life but I don't see a way out of this." Ocean said solemnly. "Now that the group is all here we can start discussing what we have in plan to get ourselves out of this mess. How much does everybody owe?"
The whole group went around and rattled off how much money they needed to come up with. Interest killed you, the number they came up with was ridiculous, especially when you had to come up with it in two weeks. Only Rueben seemed to have the money to pay for his share. Livingston only had to pay the interest but Rusty somehow managed to owe more than he took to begin with, only he could manage that.
"I'm out." Saul said getting up to leave.
"Saul you can't just leave." Virgil call after him. Without Saul we not only are a member short but we also have to come up with his share as well.
"I am old and I want my last check I write to bounce." Saul chirped walking out the door. Danny watching him leave incredulously, after everything they have been through as a group and when they were alone, how can Saul just leave us to deal with Benedict?
"I can cover his share." Rueben responded calmly.
"You don't have to do that." Ocean answered rubbing his hand against his forehead.
"Yes I do, who would I talk to if you were all dead?" Rueben asked knowing that no one needed to answer anyway.
Ocean just called back, "Good point. So Do we have a job opportunity."
"I talked to an old friend and we have a meeting scheduled with Matsui in two days." Rusty answered.
"Great, where?" Ocean asked.
"Amsterdam." Everyone got the point and picked up their stuff and started walking toward the exit. Danny only caught half of the silent conversation between Frank and Rusty. This was definitely going to be interesting.

Steve entered the bullpen expecting to be the only one there considering it was only a little past six in the morning. He just didn't no what else to do or where else to go. Swimming didn't calm him down at all and he certainly couldn't sleep. Danny was gone and was a thief. Danny the rule following, law abiding, getting mad at Steve for not following proper police standards, was a lie. His name wasn't even Danny Williams, it was Turk Malloy. Steve had no idea how he was going to go from here. He still loved Danny but was that all a lie too.
"You couldn't sleep either, huh?" Kono called surprising Steve that someone was here. Looking up he saw that Chin was sitting next to her in the middle of the room. "We thought you would come early so we wanted to be here when you did."
"I appreciate that, I really do, but I don't think there is anything that you can do for me right now." Steve mumbled falling into the chair next to him. "How did everything go so wrong in less than a day?"
"I don't know Steve, Danny didn't want to leave you." Chin said. Bringing up Danny might not be what Steve wanted but they all knew he needed it right now. "I think he thought he was pat all of this mess."
"He lied Chin, and it wasn't like he lied about his favorite shoes. To top it all off I don't even know where he is and who he is with. Plus, he has some psychopath after him. How bad his record is?" Steve was talking without really knowing what he was saying anymore.
"We could look him up in the system and found out." Kono offered, here curiosity getting to her. Steve nodded his approval, needing to know what he could, and Kono typed in Danny's real name into the system.
Not that they were surprised but a picture of Danny came up onto the screen, he was younger and his hair was a little longer and more unruly than the short hair he has now. "It looks like the only record he has is from when he was still in high school for driving issues and robbery. However, he is suspected by the police to have committed one of if not the biggest heists in Vegas history." Chin said out loud.
"We already know that he was part of that." Kono said.
"Yeah, well, him and his team robbed three different casino's on the same night and got away with over a hundred millions dollars from Terry Benedict. Going down as the first people to have ever successfully robbed any casino in Vegas." Chin continued. "Afterward it looks like the group split up. Daniel Ocean went to jail for six months on probation violation but the rest just seemed to vanish. Turk Malloy was rumored to have died over a decade ago. We all know that that is not true"
"What about his team do you know anything on them?" Steve asked a hint of the overprotective seal they all loved in his voice.
"Lets's see, there is ten know associates that were thought to be part of the Vegas heist. Daniel Ocean, has been arrested multiple times for theft and probation violations. Rusty Ryan, owns a string of hotels in LA, a few minor arrests through high school and in his early twenties once again for robbery and trespassing. Linus Caldwell, a younger man whose parents are high up in the business world, a few probations when he was a kid but nothing big. Reuben Tishkoff, an older businessman who had a few casinos's himself, a wealthy man throughout his life it looks like. Saul Bloom, an old Englishman for London, never really convicted of anything but suspected on multiple different robbery cases. Basher Tarr, looks like an explosives expert with a couple different robbery charges and vandalism using explosive techniques. Frank Catton, middle aged man with two arrests for theft and breaking and entering. Livingston Dell, one arrest for hacking a government site when he was in high school, sounds like he is a computer expert. You know about Turk, but it looks like he has a brother that he works with. Virgil Malloy, minor theft charges and a DUI." Chin paused for a minute making sure he was reading this right. "It looks like Virgil and Turk are fraternal twins."
"Danny has a twin. That is ridiculous, I can't believe it." Kono squeaked loudly. "I wonder if they look alike."
"They are fraternal twins Kono." Chin reminded her. "Plus this picture of Virgil looks nothing like Danny."
"What about the last guy, Chin?" Steve asked not looking up from his hands.
"Yes, the last one is Yen, no record, looks like he used to be in a acrobat group in Vegas as the amazing Yen." Chin finished. "Most crimes were robberies and nothing with violence attached to it." The silence in the room followed a little longer until Steve got up and walked out of the room.
Steve went to beach and jumped in the water with his cargos pants and shirt. He swam as far away from the ocean he could go before just stopping and treading water slowly. Danny had a whole other life that Steve had no clue on. Illegal and everything that Steve stand against. Though he hadn't committed anything violent and hadn't killed anyone. Maybe Steve could live with this. Common to a sudden realization Steve swam back to the shore and made it back to his car quick enough to best his own record. Pulling his cell phone out of the console he dialed Catherine's number and waited for her to pick up. He needed to find Danny.
