"No," Kim growled at Bonnie "You only have a seventy-five second window that is a minute and fifteen seconds before the security system comes back online if you cannot open a goddamn door in that amount of time then we are trapped. Now do it again." Bonnie hissed gnashing her teeth as she once again continued practicing. The lock on the thick door was the exact same model and type of the one on the door to the maintenance shaft in the Empire. Everyone moved in preparation for the coming heist.

The easiest way to make sure you succeeded with a job like this was in the preparation. Every minute detail was going to be perfected. If they had a two-minute window Kim wanted it done in a minute. She wanted everything in line and prepared before it was needed. While Bonnie worked on mastering picking the lock MoNique sewed like a monster in her little neck of the clubhouse.

"Mon are you sure you got the right material and everything?" Kim asked popping her head into the door to find MoNique buried in rolls of fabric. However, soon the tell-tale buzzing of a sewing machine was leading her through the fabric and thread forest.

"Kim I swear girl this shit matches the uniform down to the thread count. Same exact color I even have the exact same buttons. The disguises will be perfect."

"How long will it take Mon?"

"About a week or two at the fastest," MoNique replied. Kim nodded that would be plenty of time MoNique was amazing with designing and she could sew like lightning.

"Felix what's going on?" Kim yelled as she flipped over the railing to the stairs. She dropped from the air landing in a crouch.

"Well … nothing much considering the way you just crushed my spirit with acrobatics." Felix grinned Kim knew he wasn't mad. Felix had long sense gotten over his legs and he loved to watch Kim move.

"Ok OK Felix tell me what you got."

"Well since you asked so nicely I made more of the micro-cameras and the belt harnesses are ready so you should have no problem with getting out of the shafts."

"Alright what else you got?" Kim pressed her friend every time they had a job he had the strange ability to make something extra that inexplicably came in handy.

"Well I did do this little side project. Step back." Kim complied grinning. She took several steps back and waited.

"Okay see this?"

Kim nodded as she looked at the thin disk in Felix's hand he cradled it carefully. It looked like a cd or some similar disk of that size.

"Okay yeah I see it what does it do?

Felix grinned as he gave the disk a nice toss. Kim fell back when it whirred and expanded. It was a wide disk just big enough for her to stand on.

"Please tell me that this will eventually become a hover-board?"

"I finally managed to shrink the engine in my chair down small enough to be used in something like this. I wouldn't say it's a hover-board. But … it could be in a few weeks."

"Awesome but I do not see how it could be helpful with this job." Felix shrugged as he pressed a button on the complex array of controls on his chair.

"You just asked what I had, so I showed you what I had. I got you a couple of nifty little treats ready too. Smoke pellets, upgraded the equipment and the other essentials too."

"So all of our equipment is at full capacity?"

"Yup Kim everything is in perfect order and Wade has all the systems synced and ready."

"Good I guess it's time for me to pick on the new Kid." Kim said a light smirk taking over her features. "SHEGO?"

"UH Yeah Kimmie?" The green woman said from upstairs "Meet me in the garage. We have some work to do."

"Okay." Shego said a slighted quiver running through her body. It was like she was vibrating humming with nervous energy everything about this was so particular Kim had this little operation of hers like running like a well oiled machine.

"So where are we going?" Shego asked when Kim finally meat her at the door she was never supposed to exit.

"You said you would be our driver right?"

"Yeah the point is?"

"You need to know your route. And I mean you need to KNOW it. I want you to able to drive this path with your eyes closed."

"Alright so are you going to take me out for a test drive and see I fit in your little heist hierarchy?"

"Hells Yes." Kim replied sharply grinning as the door opened with a compressed hiss. Shego had no idea why she was doing this sure she did not care much about the law. It had made her a goddamned science experiment as a kid. But, it didn't explain why she was so willing to do this with these people she didn't know and this redhead she barely knew.

Something drew her to them, well to one of them, at least and as she led Kim to her baby she made a mental not to mull over it later.

"So how do we do this?"

"First we have to find the fastest route. The thing you need to know about driving is that if the rest of the team does their job the driver never has to speed. If we get in and out during this little adventure you should be able to take a leisurely little drive back here but…"

"If your asses get busted then I am going to have to drive back here like a bat flying out of hell?"

"Yeah. Now stay below the speed limit and we are going to make adjustments to your time for every light we see."

"Alright," Shego grinned as she turned the ignition and heard and felt her baby roar. She loved driving it had been one of her main vices when she had first run off on her own. She had gotten her baby racing and she had fixed it up piece by piece. It was as world class machine. It rumbled smoothly across the road its suspension taking every bump. The heavy frame had been rebuilt to handle the increased horsepower from the stupidly overpowered engine she maintained religiously. Shego loved driving just as much as she loved dealing if not more.

"Alright three red lights so far." Kim noted as she continued to ride. As she stole off glances at Shego she smirked. The green woman really was gorgeous she was so focused on the road it was like a trance. Kim could feel the car hug the road like a glove. After a few more turns and twist and twenty more minutes they pulled into the parking deck of The Empire.

"Okay twenty-seven minutes without adjustments and four red lights with two minutes for each that's thirty five minutes. Not bad now the hard part."

"That would be?"

"Finding the fastest route." Kim said as she pulled up maps on her smart phone. There is another route going down the parkway."

"The parkway," Shego asked skepticism staining her voice with disbelief. "How can you get back to the clubhouse from the Parkway?"

"By following this map turn out the south exit." Kim stated as she turned her map towards Shego. "Then pull out on 24th."

"Fine."

"Dr. Drakken I do believe the time for us to move is how you say on the horizon?" Señor Senior Sr. stated from his desk.

"Yes everything is going to plan. The testing of the machine is going well but, there is a need for additional equipment however the machine is running a bit slow I need more supplies to correct the charging problem.

"Really and what kind of equipment would that be?"

"What I need is a specific type of Industrial battery to boost the engines power enough to offset the charge."

"Alright but see to it that no problems arise when we need to get our work done understood?"

"Of course sir."

Drakken left the office grinning wondering when the battery would be provided finally someone recognized his genius someone understood his brilliance. He had always assumed he would be like all of the true geniuses unrecognized until his death but no, here was someone investing in him. Thos bastards that had ridiculed him expelled him and taken away his equipment and his job would all see his true brilliance.

"Perhaps if I do this well Señor will fund some real research. I have not been able to work on my formula in years." Drakken wrung his scarred tiny hands they literally itched to begin his experiments again. He had made some real progress he had made some real breakthroughs before he had been shut down and arrested. Sure his last subject had died but he had almost completed the formula the side effects had set in before he could compile his results. This time he was going to do this right. He would prep everything in advance and keep a watch on the side affect so he could compile the results of his next experiment.

He reveled in his exciting thoughts and before he knew it he had made it back to his lab.

Shego finally pulled back into the garage of the clubhouse.

"Okay that route takes fifteen minutes and only one light so that gives us a total of eighteen minutes this is the fastest route. Now all you have to do is memorize that route. Like I said I want you to be able to drive it with your eyes closed. I have to go meet someone See you in a few hours."

"WHAT? Kimmie I am sorry but I would like to know who the bloody hell is paying for my gas?"

"You are if this works you get a cut and it will more than make up for the gas prices."

"If you don't know the name of every street forwards and backwards as well as which way and how soon it takes you to get to every last turn then you are going to be driving all night."

"Oh you are so damn lucky you're cute as hell or you would be calling the fire department."

"Ah so you think I'm cute huh?"

Shego gulped before pulling off.

'I did not just say that … did I' Shego mentally chastised herself. 'Oh damn it to hell Shego learn to keep your mouth shut!!'

"You're not so bad yourself Shego." Kim mused quietly as she tapped the keypad cleverly hidden in plain sight.

"KIIIIIIIIIMMMMMM!!" Tara squealed tackling the redhead.

"I haven't seen you in like forever what have you been up too? What do you need my help with? Is it big? How is Bon Bon? Is she here? Is she hiding from me? Oh Oh Oh am I going to get to dance?" Tara's words flooded out in a breathy silly high soprano rush.

"Uhm breathe Tara I can't understand you when your mouth is going at 4000 RPM. Tara the platinum blue-eyed blonde nodded vigorously. "Okay ready one sentence at a time and take a quick breath after each word."

"Okay What have you been up to?"

"Okay that's better. I haven't been doing much I am working on this job right now."

"Alright what do you need my help with?"

"Well Tara you are one of the best impersonators ever and I need you to play too parts. It's big you are going to have to be an inspector and at the same time a performer in the club downstairs."

"So I am going to get to dance?" Tara nearly squealed in ecstasy.

"Yup you have to impress and distract every last one of the men in the club long enough for the rest of the team to get in and out to make a switch."

"Okay give me the cast and my costumes and I'll be practicing."

"Well I can give you your particulars but the costumes aren't ready yet."

"AWWW Damn it's never as fun without the costumes."

"I know but imagine how awesome you are going to be. Think every eye will be on you in the club while the team gets into position. Then you are going to have to be the best you have ever been to make every last one of the hotel Managers and the owner think you are the inspector."

"Fine I'll start working on my make-up."

"Good when you come up with what you want to look like we'll get an ID and a profile picture so we can replace it with the picture of the real inspector."

"Kay. Oh yeah How is my Bon Bon?"

"She's Bonnie nothing has changed." Kim shrugged there wasn't much else she could say.

"Oh well I guess she is hiding from me. I was hoping this wouldn't be awkward."

"Trust me this is Bonnie it was soooo going to be Awk-weird"Kim replied. Tara nodded her eyes taking on a clarity they rarely did. The girl was normally so lost in her multiple personas and her "Fun" she almost never showed the dept required to deal with her pain. However just as soon as that moment passed her eyes were once again glazed by her craft she was becoming someone else and she was good at it.

"Wade" Kim said as she knocked on the door that led towards the genius agoraphobics sanctuary.

"Yeah KP"

"We need to get some info on making a dice swap."

"WHAT?" Wade's eyes widened and he nearly toppled out of the ergonomic chair in front of his enormous computer screen array. His perpetually present enormous cup of coffee and or soda would have gone flying and damaged some of the equipment and he would have been humiliated luckily that fate was avoided by his equally humiliating head desk.

"Yup that would also be a perfect distraction a winner drawing suspicion during the anniversary. While the general is congratulating the winner we can be making our way up the shafts towards the main control room."

"Okay an ample point. But, how are we going to pull off a dice switch that place test every pack of dice for weight and spin."

"Let me wonder about that. I think I can call in a favor," Kim responded grinning. She left the room to let wade continue his work. As soon as his doors closed Kim was dialing.

"Hola. ¿Como estas mi amiga? I need a favor Zita. I need some dice. Yeah I know you can get into trouble but, I need you to do this…. No, no es no por nada. ¡QUE! WHAT! Fine I'll cut you in. Yeah I know you aren't going to do this again."

"Wade I think I can get us some dice make sure everyone knows about the changes."

"Will do KP."

"Please and thank you."
