Chapter 10: Breaking and Entering Without the Breaking Part

3:20 p.m S.T.A.R Labs (Cortex)

"So what do we got?" Iris asked, her hands on her hips.

"Cisco made this program that searches anything related to our meta, it systematically digs up her background and pulls out any relevant information. So we already have two victims, both which she had a debt to"

"Yeah and their both dead. What's your point? "

"Here" She pulled out a news paper article on the screen of a man around his late forties. "This is Samuel Boston, Lucy's uncle. He paid for Lucy's college tuition which was going to be repaid after she lands herself a stable job but Boston past away last year. His son though..."

Caitlin pulled out another picture of a young man around his mid twenties. A look of smugness and arrogance clearly visible on his youthful face even from the across the screen.

"Matthew Boston inherited everything and wanted to collect" Iris guessed.

"Greedy rich boy" Cisco mumbled.

"Which makes him a probable target" Caitlin finished.

"So what do we do?"

"Wait let me..." the tech genius jumped to the computer, hands quickly typing away.

"Okay, Matthew Boston, Matthew Boston a-ha! ohh we're in luck- ha luck!" he laughed at his own joke but Iris and Caitlin were still confused to whatever their friend was doing. After a few minute's Cisco finally raised his hands is the air, kicking back to lean on his chair before placing his hands behind his head.

"Done!"

"Done? Done what? What were you doing?"

"Oh right, turn's out Matthew Boston will be leaving the country on a last minute bussiness trip, so sudden that he doesn't have enough time to call or inform anyone, leaving his place empty" he grinned cheekily. "And I made sure that there's no way Mischief Mistress-"

"Lucky Lucy!" the two females of team Flash butted in and Cisco rolled his eyes.

"Fine! Lucky Lucy, will know he left the country so when she strikes we'll be there instead of Boston"

"Cisco, you're a genius!"

"I know, give me five" he raised his hand as well as wiggled his eyebrow in encouragement "C'mon now, I know you want this" Caitlin and Iris chuckled before giving in.

"Fine" came Iris' reply.

"Just this once" from Caitlin.

"Now let's get planning ladies"

3:50 p.m Boston's Residence (Ext.)

"Did you have to bring the ladder?" Caitlin asked with a very prominent frown on her pale face.

"How else are we suppose to enter the house let alone get over this gate" he gestured out the black iron gates that stood in their way.

The two continued to argue while Iris didn't bother to move to stop them. They had and by 'they' she meant Cisco had disabled the cameras and looped the feed to Boston's computer to show that there's nothing off on his place and the motion sensors and anymore security the guy has installed were also turned off. But what they didn't thought off were the gates. With all the money the guy has you would have thought everything he possessed would be electronically accessible but nooooo. The freaking gate needs a key!? And neither of them can phase through solid object's like Barry or know how to pick a lock as complex as what they have. Cisco did thought of it hence the ladder but Caitlin pointed out it wasn't inconspicuous enough. She sighed and leaned on the iron baracade that leads to Boston's house.

'groan'

There was a soft yet high pitch sound, a groaning of metal of sorts. She looked back clearly in surprise. She did not expect that.

"Guy's!" she called out but the two still kept on arguing. After multiple times of trying to get their attention and not being noticed she finally had enough and shouted.

"Guys!" the two jumped in surprise and both turned to Iris with wide eyes.

"It's open" she flatly stated before walking forward leaving Cisco and Caitlin gaping at her before hurrying to catch up to Iris.

At the same time, S.T.A.R Labs (Pipeline)

Barry Allen, one of CCPD's brightest if not the brightest CSI who apart from being perpetually late also moonlights as Central Cities Scarlet Speedster more better know as The Flash. A good friend and a good son. And a really nice person in general was not happy. Why was he not happy? Well if you were in his shoes, you wouldn't be happy either.

His day started great which within seconds was turned to the worst when he got whammied? could he call it that? struck? hit? with bad luck. So he was late for work, which if it wasn't for Lucky Lucy he would have arrived on time mind you, got kidnapped, been lectured by Captain Singh harsher than usual, beaten by a stinking banana peel and had almost set himself on fire. And now? What tops it all? thr icing to the cake? His so called Friends imprisoned him in his own ridicoulous cell while he was unconscious. Seriously? Who does that?

Sure he can forgive them for sticking him in a cell given the circumstances. It's not like it was the first time they did it. He and everything around him is a constant danger to his person but the cell's walls being fortified with... Pillows? Strap jacket made out of bubble wraps? That's just... There's no word to describe it.

So yeah, he was not happy at all.

Plus he thinks his nose is starting to itch.

Boston's residence

Back with Team Flash, they were infront of Matthew's door thinking of a way in. Cisco quickly spotted an open window on the second floor.

"Leave this to me" he said trying to exclude confidence while rolling his imaginary sleeves and straightening up his shirt with a lephrechaun design.

He set up the ladder just bellow the window and began the tedious climb up it. The Doctor and the Journalist stared at the Techy's back before glancing at the door.

"You don't think...? Iris trailed off. Caitlin shrugged and lightly pushed the door which... swung open much to their surprise. They spared each other a look before entering.

"Almost...there" the tech genius who seamed a little out of breath said as he swung his leg over the windows sill, half his body already in the room. With one last pull he finally hauled himself in. He rolled over the floor and jump, his hands pumping the air in victory.

"Ha! success" he cheered, doing a little bit of a victory dance. He was still facing the window so he didn't saw the amused look both Caitlin and Iris were having at his expense.

"Ahem!" Caitlin caughed instantly freezing the young engineer.

"Wha- huh? how'd you?"

"Front door was opened" Cait started.

"So we let ourselves in" Iris finished.

"Boston really left in a hurry"
