Chapter 10

"Oh, Nepeta!" Sollux called. Nepeta turned from what she was doing.

"Hey, Captain!" She smiled. "You got to reading my plans, yet?"

"Yeah, I finithhed reading them before you got here."

"Yay!" Nepeta jumped.

Sollux smiled. Nepeta was alway extremely enthusiastic about everything.

"Yeah. All I have to do ith get thith reviewed by the chief."

Nepeta's smiled vanished. She scratched the back of her head.

"You do? Oh, um." She looked down at her feet. "He's not, um, it's just that he's..."

Sollux stared at Nepeta while she tryed to find the right word.

"I'm gonna..." He began walking past Nepeta. "go thee him. You want to come?"

"No, it's fine." She giggled a little. "Make sure to knock furst!"

Sollux walked down the hall to Karkat's office. When he got there, he noticed that the door was locked and there was a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign hanging from the nob. He listened for sounds coming in, hearing almost nothing.

He knocked on the door. Silence rang through the empty halls.

A loud bang was heard from inside.

"WHO IS IT?" Karkat yelled from his office.

Sollux flinched. "Um, thir, it'th me. I jutht need you to-"

"HANG ON!" There was some shuffling, things knocking over, and a obviously-not-Karkat laugh.

The lock on the door clicked. Karkat swung the door open.

"CAPTAIN." He yelled his voice half scratchy. He cleared his voice and continued. "What do you want?"

"Well, Thir." Sollux held out the foulder with Nepeta's plans in it. "Thrg. Leijon wrote down a capture plan and I jutht need you to agree on it."

Karkat pulled the foulder out of his hands and flipped through it. Sollux looked over him and stared into his office.

Everything from his desk, except the computer, was scattered on the floor. Terezi was half lying on the emptied desk, smiling and giggling.

"Thir?" He looked back at Karkat. "What'th going on in there?"

"Nothing." Karkat snapped, pushing the foulder back into Sollux's hands. "Here. You can start whenever you want to."

"Really?"

Karkat slammed the door shut and locked it, leaving him staring at the front of the door with the foulder poorly shoved into his hands.

Sollux began walking down the hall again.

He slapped his forehead. Of courthe! He thought. Karkat and Terethi! They were having thloppy makeoutth again!

"So!" Nepeta purred as he reached her. "When do you want to start, Captain?"

"I wath thinking tonight." Sollux answered. "It wath only two dayth ago when they robbed that latht bank. I'm guething they thlept on their victory."

"Purrfect!" She smiled. "Oh, hey! Can I bring home a copy of the plans?"

"Why?"

"Well, I just like to keep a record of all the plans I make!"

"Alright." Sollux handed the foulder to Nepeta. "Go make a copy. Just bring the original back."

"I know!" She ran off towards the copier.

Nepeta pulled the papers out of her sweater.

"Hehe! I got them!" She smiled, setting them on the table.

"Good job, sis." Gamzee congradulated.

"Alright." Vriska leaned forward. "What's the plan this time?"

Nepeta pulled out a map of the bank from under the stack of papers.

"Here's the map of it. As you can see, it's got a really big fence going around it." She pointed to the fence running around the perimeter of the building.

Eridan looked over. "Is that a rivver goin along the side of the road?"

"Yep!"

"Good." He smiled. "That wwill make for a good escape." He waved the fins on the side of his head.

"Oh yeah!" Nepeta realized. "I furgot about that! I guess it will, then!"

"How are Feferi and Eridan going to get inside?" Equius asked.

"Well, since there will be police around the perimeter, I thought they would go through pipes."

"Pipes?" Eridan raised his eyebrow.

"Are they large enough for us to get though?" Feferi wondered.

"Yeah, they are!" Nepeta grinned. "I went through the whole building, even it's pipes and ducts! There's a large pipe running though the middle of the building to the restrooms. And the restrooms are really close to the vaults. After that you just go through the pipe again and we make our escape!"

"Arn't there suppose to be guards walking around in there?"

"Nope! All of them have the night off to let the police protect it! Cheif's orders!"

"Fan-motherfuckin-tastic!" Gamzee fell back on the floor. "This is gonna be easy!"

"Wait." Equius pointed back to the map. "This one's too close to us."

"Yeah, I saw that too." Nepeta nodded.

"When we rob it, where will we go?"

"Well, we'll just go the other way." She pointed to a huge area of trees. "Right in the middle of this forest is a really big tree, and it's pretty far from the road, mabye two or three miles. We'll go through there, Eridan and Feferi can go through the river to the ocean, and after a while we'll all meet back here!"

"Wwhat about the vvan?" Eridan asked.

"I trust Equius to get it away from police!" She wrapped her arms around her moirail.

"Then we'll have that bank taken care off." Gamzee laughed.

"And after that," Vriska giggled. "It's just one more bank!"

"Woh, woh, woh." He got up. "You're not thinkin reasonably about that one."

"Gam's right." Eridan continued. "It's too close to the police headquarters. Once wwe rob this one, they'll be on that bank like a hawwk."

"Fine." Vriska stood up and looked down on everyone. "After we rob this bank, if someone is caught or seen, we'll rob it and if we have to, rescue the one who was caught. But if no one is seen, we'll drive out of this state. Got it?"

"Right!" Everyone agreed.

"So," She looked down at Nepeta. "When do we start?"

"Tonight." Nepeta grinned. "Right when the sun sets."
