Chapter Nine

(Casey's point of view)

The next morning I woke up startled cold swear had me drenched from head to toe. Slowly I sat up and felt Lizzy move beside me. I smiled seeing my baby sister sleeping soundlessly and safely next to me. Letting out a deep breath I carefully jumped over her and while glancing at my watch. 6:30 am it read and I groaned inwardly. It meant I had had less than 2 hours of sleep.

Even though I still felt deathly tiered I pulled myself upright and headed out the room. I had no real desire to sleep if it meant waking up to another nightmare.

I made it to the bathroom and for the first time I was the first to be able to take a bath, with nobody bothering. The house was silent, and I figured everyone was still sleeping, so it meant at least half an hour of blissful and much needed silence.

After that bath I changed into some jeans and a simple shirt then headed downstairs. It was already past seven but nobody was up. I went over to the basement where mom and George sleep and listened quietly outside their door, wondering if they were up. There was no sound except for their soft breathing and I went to the front door. I had heard a car drive sometime around 5 so I figured there'd be a package waiting in the front step for me.

I opened the door and saw a white envelope under a rock. I pulled it out kicked the rock away and closed the door behind me. I read it silently then crumpled it and slid it in my back pocket. I glanced back hoping someone would come out of the house to stop me and drag me back in, but no such luck.

Sighting I made my way down the front door and down the silent street.

At the end of the street a black car was parked and leaning on the passengers side was Frank looking down at some papers. He looked up as I came over and smiled. He looked better than the night before, or rather this morning. Although they were still a few bruises lingering here and there, he looked fine. "Hey, ready?" he asked standing up straight.

I nodded and he opened the door to my side, allowed me to go in, the shut it and walked around the front to the drivers side. "what are we doing today?" I asked once he started to drive away.

"Got a job, taking a few people out and hacking into the system," he replied and handed me the papers he had been reading over. I flipped through them taking in the blue prints, codes, and other info.

Just in case you had ever wondered why I was so good at studying it was thanks to the many jobs. Usually you only had a few hours or sometimes even minutes to look over and memorize the plans. So one does pick up on a few tricks here and there.

"Northstien and Co.?" I asked.

Frank nodded turning a corner. "Boss said he wanted a few things from there, and that they had stolen some of his data not to long ago, so he wants to get even."

"hmm" I replied still looking over the papers. "never thought he'd give us a job that quick," I went on putting the papers aside. "well you know him, he still thinks were the best after so long," Frank answered rather calmly.

"why'd Andy accept I though he always said this job was for babies?" I asked. Frank shrugged but his eyes said more than a simple 'don't know'. I looked at him and finally he broke down sighting. I smiled wondering if that trick would ever work on Derek. "He didn't want to at first," Frank started. "But once he looked over the papers he suddenly accepted. I didn't see it until Zane pointed it out, and I figured you'd see it just as fast as Andy did,"

Quickly I grabbed the papers and started to see them through. Everything from the codes to usernames and passwords were of high quality, far too good for a simple company. Then I saw it. Three simple letters that had appeared in so many other papers. M.O.M.

"was it Rizz?" I asked softly knowing the answering. Frank nodded miserably. You see the girl had a weird habit. Back when she was still with us she'd been our computer wiz, hacking and making codes, doing all the computer stuff. It only took her 35 seconds to break into the FBI's computers. And through time she became to be known as the MOM hacker. Not cause it stood for anything, but that was what she used. Those three little letters were her signature, and they stood out on everything she did.

We all figured it was a mother complex, since her own mother died after she had given birth to her. But Andy had later told us the truth. It was her way of getting back at him. They were bother and sister but only through the Boss. Andy's mom was a young women, like all of the women Boss messes around with. Only of 17. He meet her during a business trip and one thing led to another. Andy was born. The girl ran away after learning that he'd take Andy away from her, and the Boss didn't rest until he found them. Andy was five at the time they found them. That was the last he had seen of his mother.

When he arrived back he learned the existence of a little sister and she became the most important thing in his life. But truth was that Rizz hated him. She had always thought that the business would go to her if he was never found and when she learned that he had in fact been found she went crazy, in a sense.

She used everything in her power to get back at him until finally she learned his weakness. His mom. She tormented him with those three little letters, and kept doing it. All the time he never said a word but we all knew the guilt that was growing inside of him.

Nobody but the boss knows what really happened to her. Andy never knew whether she was dead or alive. Part of our jobs back then were to find a clue as to her whereabouts, but the Boss keeps his secrets well hidden.

As you might have guessed we never did find anything. Through years and jobs Andy became bitter and silent about the subject. He really believed she was dead, and would go ballistic if anybody would bring the subject up. He had sent a couple of kids to the hospital because of it.

We never did bring it up, only Rizz. She had inherited all of their fathers sick humor. Andy, of course, never laid a hand on her. I never saw him even yell at her, or get mad at her.

Before I knew it we had arrived to the same cabin where they first brought me. I went in to find Mai sprawled on one of the beat up couches, sleeping soundlessly. Zane was on the ground his back on the couch a computer turned ON, on his lap. He on the other hand had his head hung on his shoulders sleeping.

They were both bruised and battered but looked relatively fine. Frank came in from behind yawning and stretching. "did you sleep at all?" I asked. He yawned again. "nah, Andy had us do a whole bunch of stuff. I did sleep a little in the car while waiting for you though and it seems like the kids finally conked out."

He went over to the kitchen and grabbed a cup poring some coffee. "want some?" he asked. I nodded as someone came down from downstairs. "I already told you it's not possible!" Anne was saying. "where doing it anyways! Even if you come or not!" Andy replied back firmly.

"Do what?" I asked taking a sip of coffee and watching as both came down. Anne had her arm in a sling bruised like the rest of us, but looking fine. Tall and elegant like always. "Hey Case," she greeted turning towards and smiling. I looked from one to the other hoping to get an answer.

"Andy here wants is to start in fifteen minutes!" she cried throwing her good hand in the air. "I know your not human but the rest of us need sleep!" she went on.

I looked at Andy. Out of all of us he had been the worst off, yet he was prancing around looking like he hadn't been beaten up an inch away from death.

He was still bruised and I was sure he was heavily bandaged under his shirt and had probably a few broken ribs. "you guys have rested enough!" he barked back and winced. His hand went to his side and my suspicions were confirmed. Still he regain posture and went over to the twins. "UP NOW!" he barked kicking Zane and pulling Mai to a sitting position.

"you don't have to yell," Zane said quietly setting the laptop on the coffee table and rubbing his leg where Andy had kicked him. "yeah, abusive leader," Mai said rubbing her eyes.

"don't get up kids!" Anne hissed. "I told you were doing it now!" Andy barked turning to face her. "oh yeah you did, right after you came into my room and woke me up!" she started, her eyes turning into a death like glare. "You know we all need the rest and thanks to you we were only able to put 20 minutes in! Look at your team and think of others for once!"

His shoulders tensed and silence spread over us. We all looked from Andy to Anne, until finally he dropped his shoulders. "We need to do it now!" he hissed. " no we don't," Anne replied in a calmer voice. She had always been good at keeping her temper leveled, especially when it came to Andy's hard-headedness and immaturity.

"but Rizz is out there, we need to--" he started and stopped as soon as Anne raised her hand. "she wont move until we make ours," Anne said in a soft but firm tone.

"She can't get to us until we make our move. So stop being irrational and go back upstairs, we all need some rest,"

With that she turned on her heels and went back up the stairs. "DAMMIT!" Andy cried in frustration before grabbing his jacket and banging the door shut as he left.

Exactly fifteen minutes later Andy returned. He was breathing hard and covered in sweat. We were all sitting downstairs in the living room when he came in. He looked us over and the without saying a word he ran upstairs and we heard a few doors open and shut.

Two minutes later he returned downstairs fully dressed in a black shirt with black jeans and black tennis shoes. He had his shirt tucked in, which had seem to suit only him. And was wearing a red belt. He had a black Jan's-Sport backpack sung lazily over one shoulder. "lets go then," he said leading the way out.

As you might have guessed Anne lost the argument. Of course she'd never admit it was a loss. We all knew what it meant for Andy to see Rizz again, even though she had betrayed us and what not. He was irrational and stubborn when it came to matters like this.

After he had left Anne was the one who started to change into the mission clothes, simple black clothes. Then she threw us our own and ordered us to change. She was furious at the fact that she had to give into his childish tantrums, but only shoed a slight dissatisfaction whenever she talked to us. We all changed and grabbed our gear, making sure we knew the plan. Then Andy came in and you know the rest.

We headed out piled into two cars. Frank, Anne and Mai headed out in one, while we waited to see who'd drive. Andy and Zane were debating who was to drive. Usually we'd only let Frank and Anne drive since they were good at it, and somewhat respected the street sings. The twins weren't allowed to drive and nobody liked the way I drove. They all said I drove too carefully and would end up having them killed if we were in a car chase. And Andy was sometimes too proud to drive himself anywhere. You know spoiled kids and all.

And whenever their wasn't somebody around to drive their were always big fights. Zane wanted to drive since I had been outvoted. Andy on the other hand feared for his life, as we all did whenever the twins drove, so he had insisted to drive. Yet he could barely manage to stand straight without a hand over his ribs. The punishment he got for getting mad and running off with four of his ribs broken, on one side and two on the other. Yes he was an idiot. "Andy stop being so stupid you know you can't drive!" Zane yelled. "I sure can!" Andy yelled back hissing at the pain. "look at yourself man!" Zane went on. "Anne was right, we need more rest, you more than anybody!"

Andy looked up glaring at him, but his pained glare wasn't working much. "I'll drive," I said for the tenth time. "No way!" Zane went on, "I have the keys so I'm driving!"

He held up the silver keys dangling in front of us. He had grabbed them before anyone else could. Andy made a launch for them and Zane quickly pulled them away and instead they both ended up colliding into one another. Andy gave a small pained cry as Zane accidentally pushed against his side and somewhere in the middle of a 'sorry' and some cursing exchange the keys were dropped. I went picked them up and slipped into the drivers seat.

Until I finally started the engine they finally realized what had happened. "get in or I leave!" I threatened.

Glumly the both exchanged a glare then headed to the passengers door. There was a small squabble as to who would get to ride shotgun and finally they settled it with a rock-paper-succors contents. Best two out of three.

Andy won and proudly he settled in the front seat while Andy went to the back. Ignoring his little triumphant smile I drove off to our destination.

After some yelling from both to go faster, I finally sped up and then floored it on the break at a red light. They both went like yo-yo forward and back. "see what happenes when you go too fast?" I asked innocently. They both glared but stayed quiet until we finally arrive.

The others were there waiting for us going over the blue-print of the place and Mai had a laptop opened. "what took you guys so long?" Anne asked and then added a rude "oh" as I got out of the drivers seat.

I decided not to push the issue and went over as they started to explained who was doing what.

Mai had already hacked into the camera's it was a simple thing that we all knew how to do. Common knowledge in our line of work. We'd be entering from the back door while four others entered through the front. All we needed to do was steal some files and disappear a person or two. Like if we were in some dopey spy movie, we all synched our watches. Then pulled masks on, half face for the girls and full for the guys, similar we wore the night before but these weren't as extravagant and had red markings.

We were all already wearing something red. Andy had a red belt, Zane a red bandana tucked into his back pocket. Frank had his watch strap, red. Anne had red gloves. Mai had a red hair tie and I had a red chocker.

"Five minutes make sure you get whom you need and do the job well," Andy instructed from behind his mask. We all nodded and then in a silent agreement slip.

Andy and I went around back with our guns in hand. Like always there was no one ever guarding the back door and it was a simple code entering system. Andy punched in the numbers and the door hissed open welcoming us into a cool dark hallway.

We went in making our way to the top. By now we where sure the others had started the commotion in front. Zane had dropped all the emergency systems before coming so there was no trouble of police at least for the first five minutes until someone was smart enough to pull out their cell phone and call the cops.

We stayed in shadows as uniformed cops and security ran towards the front to the deal with the other intruders. I started to hear gun shots a few screams of people. My body tensed and I could picture how the others looked. Crazed and hyped about the job. It was almost like a drug for them. Something that excited them so much as to forget they were human and act like beast with no compassion or conscious.

"hurry," Andy whispered and I could hear the craziness in his voice. It seem he had become high as well.

Gulping back we went on entering the elevator. One of the guards saw us and pulled out a gun. I raised my own but my finger was frozen on the trigger. The guard saw my hesitation saw his opportunity. I was seriously praying for my life in that second. I had done the stupidest thing of giving him a chance. Giving him an opening. But in that same second, in one gentle and graceful move Andy pushed me behind him, raised his gun and fired. Then pulled me towards the elevator.

The guard hit the ground as the doors closed. That's how fast Andy really was.

We waited in silence as the elevator rose to the highest level where all our info and the ones we needed were. I half expected and was kind of hoping some type of reaction from Andy. Back then, if we ever tried hesitated or did a stupid move, we never heard the end of it, until someone else did a stupid move. He would blow up, simply chew us out. But he was silent. Only looking over his gun and practiced pointing it to the elevator door.

The elevator finally dinned to the last level and the door slowly slid open. "don't hesitate," Andy finally said and slipped out. I followed readying myself for a whole bunch of body guards to come at us, but there was none. The hallways were empty and silent.

There wasn't a way for them to get out, we had made sure of that. The top door leading to the roof was looked the same way as the backdoor, and Zane made it so that the password randomly changed every 30 seconds. We turned a corner and saw why there was no one coming after us. All the guards were sprawled over the carpet hallway blood staining the green carpet underneath. Andy kneeled next to one, then stood.

I followed his footsteps over the corpses and then into the door at the end of the hallway. We stopped before entering and I saw the secretary behind her desk blood under her. Andy turned the handle and we both burst into the room. The room was dark with the sent of blood all around it. The curtains pulled shut and laying on his desk was our target.

He was mumbling softly blood spreading over his desk, and sitting next to him, back to us was a girl.

Curly copper-blond hair fell lazily on her back and she fanned her face with a disk. She had a mask pulled to the side of her head messing up that side of her hair. "looking for this?" she asked in a playful tone. Andy and I stood frozen at the doorway, unable to say anything. She turned to face us and I felt Andy tense as her honey eyes looked us over. She smiled hopping off the desk coming around it and facing us.

She was short probably reached my chin, and was wearing a cute black skirt, black top, tights and boots. "Oh come on you guys!" she said in a childish, way to spoiled to be fourteen, girl. "I though, there would be more words exchanged when we finally saw each other again. But you guys are such party poopers!"

"What are you doing her?" Andy finally spat and I saw he was forcing himself to put as much hate as he could into the words. "giving you guys a hand," she said in an innocent voice. "don't you want me here big brother?"

His shoulders tensed even more if it were possible. I gulped remembering a similar situation a couple of years ago. He had never really wanted her on any of the jobs and would leave her behind. Sometimes she'd throw tantrums but he never gave in until one day. We had arrived at our destination to find her already there. She had killed three guys and looked calm even though she was 10. He asked the same thing and she replied the same way. After that he took her everywhere, and we learned how twisted and cruel she truly was. Just like the Boss, her father.

"Who sent you?" I asked finding that my voice worked and there was so much hate and spite in them. She looked my way glaring looking as if she had seen something disgusted. "Was it the Boss?" Andy asked.

She turned to him, her face changing back into a playful innocent expression. "And what if it was," she replied. "Answer me correctly!" Andy barked. "Who the hell sent you!?"

A look of hurt crossed her face before her eyes narrowed and she glared at him. "Secret," she said pressing one finger to her lips. Andy pointed his gun to her and fired three times. Of course none where actually meant for her, so all of them hit the ground inches away from her. "ANSWER ME OR ELSE!" he threatened cold as ice pointing the gun directly at her forehead.

She smiled pleased to have gotten on his nerves. "For the sake of keeping you from hurting yourself more I'll tell,"

We waited a couple of minutes before she actually got around to tell us anything. I glanced at my watch seeing time run out. "1:30" I whispered at Andy who nodded. The target had stopped mumbling a couple of minutes ago and we figured he had either lost conscious from the lack of blood, or died.

"Now, Rizz!" Andy said keeping his gun towards her. "well it just so happens Daddy was the one who sent me. He didn't really believe you guys could do it, so he sent the best to do the job." She started her tone proud. She was walking around the room looking at the books on the bookshelves. "I have the documents if you want them,"

She threw the disk over to me and I caught it, looking over it in case it was some sort of trap. "geez Casey it's not bugged, and it's not a freaking bomb. Your so paranoid," she said giggling. I felt my cheeks burn slightly but slipped the disk into the bag. "Continue!" Andy ordered. "Why did you do that? Back then why you go and betray us like that?! I thought you wanted to get away as well, so why?" His voice softened at the end and Rizz turned smiling at us.

"you were the ones who wanted to escape," she said and that somehow seem to explain everything. "I pulled a double knew you'd be too flustered to notice anything. Good thing for me I was right, you didn't notice, until later right big brother?"

I looked at Andy hoping to see his expression. But duh, we both were wearing masks, so it was a wasted effort. "Well anyways I told Daddy about your plans and he was so furious with you guys! Still he let you get away with it, and even allowed you to split your group. Then we made the recording and sent it to you. Daddy wants you back not sure why, but he sure went to a lot of trouble. If it were me I would have ended your worthless life's a long time ago."

"so that's your reason," Andy finally said with slight amusement. He lowered his gun and went over cheeked the body for a pulse and came back. "your still as twisted as before little sister. Making a whole dramatic scene and then going along with that bastards plans. I'm sure this was also a set up am I correct?"

Rizz huffed pursing her lips into a thin line. He had managed to get on her nerves now. Then he gestured towards the door, and I went out first. There was a couple of seconds before Andy came out closing the door behind him. I knew he had said something else to her, but hadn't been able to hear it.

"the others should be waiting for us already," he said making his way back down to the elevator.

We came back down to find the others sitting on the reception desk talking calmly amongst themselves. There were bodies all over the lobby and they were covered in blood. Still there seem to be no one actually dead, so I figured they were still a bit rusty from the fight the night before.

"where's big and fat?" Zane asked once they saw us. "Jobs done," Andy replied coldly. Everyone seem to pick up on it and turned their attention to us. "Rizz got here before us," I informed. I saw the girls mouths drop open and I could only guess the same was happening with the guys. "you mean she's here, right now?"

"I guess so," I said "Nope, roof door just been hacked," Zane added with a relatively calm voice. "I guess that's our cue," Andy went on and then slipped out the front door. We all looked at one another before exiting after him.

AN: Sorry, this was small, but I still have to figure out where and how the story will develop. Sounds lame after nine chapters right…But I think this finally explained some things and it might be slightly confusing, please R&R . I love to read comments flames and others Also I now know how it will work so I think the chapters will come out more often.

Well then till next time…
