The Preparation
(Amber's POV)
As we made our way over the train tracks and through all the winding alleys, the memories flooded into my mind. Eli took my hand in his as we kept moving forward, towards an empty lot and as we passed by a warehouse. We kept moving until we reached the shop in front, and we walked in. This is the place where I gained my freedom from FTD, this is where I met Eli; this is where I last saw my brother and this is where I lead a whole gang to their demise. I saw all the gear, all the weaponry and all the equipment.
I took a folded up piece of paper from my back pocket and handed it to Drew, I made a check-list of some necessities and figured we could get some other things we found necessary. The man behind the counter eyes us suspiciously as we made our way through the rows; grabbing things here and there.
We got things like headsets, microphones, recorders, knifes, tiny flashlights, lock picking kits, cameras, and GPS trackers. This place had it all, and more. A specific thing caught my eye; a purple switch blade. I read the different utilities encased inside the metal chamber. The blades were big, the scissors were sharp, and those were just some of the little treasures. Eli came up behind me and grabbed a black one, and handed a blue one to Drew. Now we're getting down to business. We paid for our various items and headed out the door.
(Eli's POV)
I laughed as we headed out of the store, the man behind the counter stood in awe as we dropped our items on the counter and handed the man over 5 grand in cash and walked out. "Well that guy is officially scarred" I said, a smirk on my face. Amber giggled and handed Drew and me a bag "Make your self's useful" she mocked, sighing in relief as the weight of two of the three bags was lifted from her possession. "We need a new ride" Drew said, as we piled in the cop car, "This draws a little too much attention." I nodded as we made our way back to the motel. "Let's drop our stuff off and head out" I said as I unlocked the door. I watched as Amber eagerly undid the packaging for the switch blades. Her eyes wavered over the different utilizes as she flipped them out one-by-one. "I'm ready" she said; stuffing it in her pocket. I grabbed the key, and once again, off we went.
(Drew's POV)
We got into the car, Amber decided to lie down in the back and play with her knife, giggling like a child on Christmas morning as they unwrapped their presents. "Don't cut yourself" I said; watching her trace her fingers over the blade. She pouted slightly; before retracting the blade and replacing it in her pocket.
We approached a car dealership, according to Eli it's the only one that takes cash and no ID in town. "So what are we looking for?" I asked, as we parked the car out of sight and walked by the rows of cars. "Something fast" Amber said her voice distant. "Something that says 'sophisticated' but not too revealing; it needs tinted windows." Eli said, searching through the rows of cars.
I smirked as I laid eyes on it, the sliver paint shined in the sunlight; the two blue lines going down the center glistened. "Check out the Ford Mustang" I said, my finger pointing to the direction of the car. "YES!" Amber yelled, making her way over to the car. She got in the driver's side and examined everything from the leather seats to the gear shift. While she was checking that out, Eli and I were checking out the exterior, and under the hood. Eli whistled as he looked at the various gears and trinkets under the hood. "This is the one" Eli said, closing the hood gently. "No objections" Amber chimed in as she stepped out of the car I shrugged "Let's do it".

We walked into the main office. "New guy, look alive" Eli whispered. The man behind the counter glared at us as we made our way around, looking at the different accessories. I could see his eyes on me, watching me as I walked in between the two boys. "Too easy" I thought as I made my way around. "You know what?" I said, stopping the two boys "Let me get the car, just give me the money." I got weird glances from the two, I tilted my head down slightly and made my eyes bigger; and then I stuck my hand out and made a motion with my hand. Eli and Drew complied; to my satisfaction.
I pulled my tank top down a bit; showing some more cleavage, then I fixed my bra a bit and ran my fingers through my hair, loosening a strand. "Show time" I whispered to the guys as I made my way over to the desk. "Excuse me sir" I said to the man behind the desk; I looked at his eyes, though they were looking at me; they weren't looking at my eyes. "Can I help you miss" he said, slightly nervous.
"I would like to buy a car" I said, making my eyes bigger
"And which one were you looking to buy"
"The Ford Mustang in slot 15E"
"That's a nice car, very fast and reliable"
I leaned over the counter, my arms on either side of my chest, holding my wallet. "How much would you like for it" I asked, lowering my tone.
I watched as the man's eyes traveled and he swallowed a bit, "I'm not supposed to sell to kids… but"
I smiled at him "But…"
"I'll sell it to you for $20,000"
"Thanks!" I said as I handed him the cash, despite his expression. Hesitantly he handed me the keys. Before he could say more I walked out the doors and to the car.
(Eli's POV)
I just watched Amber put on this little stunt. It was amusing to watch as the man got more and more nervous as the conversation went on. I had watched Amber manipulate people before; it was strangely amusing to me. We walked out to the car; Amber jingling the keys in her hands "I call driving" she said as we approached the car. "I call shotgun" I said quickly as Drew swore under his breath. I help up a lighter that I swiped and flicked it on. "We need to get the car, Drew get in and follow us." I said as I dropped the lighter in the cup holder.
After driving for a while, we reached an abandoned trail. A perfect place for a little burning, it's secluded and hidden by a nearby forest. I pulled a gas barrel out of the trunk of the cop car and poured it over the car; I grabbed the lighter and watched as it lit up. Man how I love fire. Finally; we're ready to go.
HI! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been busy and have had some writers block. Finally the group is ready to go! I'm excited about the chapters to come! Reviews are lovely; just a reminder! And here's the link to a picture of the car (if it shows up) .
And I'll see if I can get it on my profile
