Operation: Jack Pot

They were pros. They had been doing this for years. They were known as the 'Silent Six.' Know one ever knew how they did it, but they succeeded in ever robbery. There were no wanted posters, because no one knew their real identities. They all had their Jobs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ross was the leader, the one in charge of the dangerous stuff. He dealt with getting the money, and getting outta there. He formed the group. He handpicked them, all six. It all started when he divorced Carol. He had always wanted to do stuff like that, he knew how. He just needed a sign. Now, with carol leaving him, he had nothing else stopping him. He needed his team.

First on, was Monica. Monica was having trouble getting extra cash for things she wanted. She was sick of her job. Ross wasn't going to get his sister in on it, but she read his plans when he wasn't home, and she immediately wanted on. Ross had no choice, Monica threatened to tell on him. she was now in charge of Electrical Problems and security. She navigated for Ross.

Next, was Rachel. She had just run away from Berry, and needed money also. She promised to do anything, so Ross gave her an easier job. She was now his spy. She was a master of disguise. So she would put on her best 'damsel in distress' act, to stall the victims. She was one of the best on the team. She would also pose as a witness so the cops would not suspect any of them.

Then there was Joey, who was the assistant to Rachel in the acting/disguising. He had many talents and could play various roles. Rachel usually accompanied him as his wife, girlfriend or sister. He was very good at staling people weather he was asking for the time or talking about the weather. He also was the one who got a job as safe manager, or guard, depending on the place tat they were planning on raiding. He then could slow the guards down as they went to approach his friends.

Fourth was Chandler. Chandler was the getaway man. He sat in the car, and could wheel it outta there at the drop of a hat. He was tired of not being noticed at his dead end job. Thank god he didn't have a death wish. Chandler was also in charge of getting the dirt on the location of the robbery. He had the who, what, where, when, why, and how. He also got Rachel and Joey their fake ID's, Passports, names, and Social Security Numbers. He was well respected in this group.

Last to the group was Phoebe, safe and explosives extraordinaire. She knew every kind of vault, bomb and weapon. She loaded the group up with their weaponry, bombs and other high tech gadgets. She was also the best in fighting. There wasn't a guard she couldn't handle.

And the SILENT Seven gang was complete

Ross crouched down to get better reception from Monica, who was in the car directing his every move. He looked around nervously, then to his watch. 11:53. They have seven minutes to be outta there. 7 minutes to be on their way to paradise, 7 minutes to split 12 million dollars six ways. He waited for the signal. He looked at his mini monitor, and saw Rachel wave down a car, the alarm had been deactivated. He crawled army style to the safe, with phoebe right behind. He tilted his head to the left, and phoebe crawled to the left side of the safe.

"Hurry! we have guards approaching. I'd say you have about two minutes to get the safe opened!" a voice rang in his ear.

"Monica, I know what I'm doing! Quit stalling me!" Ross harshly whispered back into his microphone. The end was silent.

Ross quickly went to work on the codes. 'it's 5-5-5-7-8-3-3-9-0-1-2, right?' he thought to himself. He promptly hauled out his slip of codes. He put in the numbers, then pressed enter. 'Please except, please except." he thought to himself.

"Give Joey his bonus! He just persuaded the guards that they should wait the noises out! Remember to thank him, he just bought you ten minutes. But I can only freeze their screens for 8 more now!" Monica whispered through the microphone.

Ross heaved a sigh in relief as the light flashed green and the safe's first door opened. Now it was up to phoebe.

"At your service!" Phoebe said rigorously, then started in on her work. She placed her new high tech bomb under the safe. It was the only bomb in the world that was soundless. She waited for the small detonation, then Ross and her scampered in for the cash. As they filled their bags, they looked around for any evidence that they may leave behind. Phoebe reached for and extra million.

"No Phoebe! We can't take that much, they will definitely know it's gone. We have to get only what we need." Ross snapped at her.

"fine you big grumpy Gus." Phoebe grabbed her handbag and exited after Ross, then they shut the safe. Ross re-entered the code, locking the safe, and then they clambered back into the ventral system from which they entered. As they crawled through, they shoved every tool they used in a bag. Finally, they reached the top of the building and were greeted by Rachel. Before making their run for it, Ross quickly kissed his girlfriend on the cheek. Rachel blushed and began to run behind Phoebe, followed by Ross.

Finally all of them made it to the car Chandler had waiting for them. They climbs in and speeds off.

"where to?" chandler asked.

"To the airport." Ross smiled.

The ride to the airport was a long, long ride. Everyone but Monica sat in the back.

"Hat's off to Joey, thanks for the time, man." Ross beams.

"Forget about it" Joey blushed.

"We did great, all of us." Phoebe chirps. She set her hand out and every one place there's on each other,

"Good job, team." Rachel smiles.

Everyone fell asleep on the way to the airport. Ross took over for chandler. It was either crash and die, let chandler go to sleep and risk getting caught, or someone filling in for him. Ross was wide-awake, and Rachel decided to keep him company in the front seat.

"You really did great tonight." Rachel smiled.

"Yea, you too."

"So, let's get outta the business and start a fresh clean life. how about it?" Rachel suggested.

Ross looked at her. He didn't want to say no, but this was his life. He liked the danger and the feeling he got when he made it out of the building. Now job or career could ever compare to this kind of excitement. But this was Rachel. He would do anything for her. It was a hard choice.

"Well, maybe. I want to do some more jobs first." Ross said coolly.

Rachel looked down. This profession wasn't what you would call glamorous. She wanted to be a success. She wanted a normal life. She loved the robbing process and yea the money was great, but that is not how she would want to be doing by the time she had kids. Not to mention the threat of her own life and her friend's life. Maybe she was overreacting. Yea,she was fine.

"And we're here!" Ross shouted to the back of the van. sleepily, all of them immerged from the van with their suitcases. Next stop, CALIFORNIA.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

The plane ride was smooth. Ross sat almost half the time typing on his laptop. Chandler did too.

"Yo, Ross!" Chandler motioned from two seats ahead of him. Ross unbuckled his seat belt and went over to the empty seat by chandler.

"Hey dude, what's up?"

"Ok, I have our next mission. The Imperial Ambassador Hotel. Now, I know we do banks and Casinos, but this is too good a chance to miss out on. Before you say no, imagine this: Your on a beach in some tropical, exotic place, soaking in the sun, with Rachel right beside you in a little red bikini..." Chandler began. Joey hears from his seat.

"Dude, if Ross doesn't imagine it, I will! Only there are a million Rachel's and they are all feeding me..." Joey stared off into space, obviously imagining this.

"Hey, that's my girlfriend, man!" Ross snapped at him. Joey began to look at his magazine again.

" Your listening to the waves, drinking any alcoholic beverage you want, with 15 million dollars each." Chandler finished.

As tempted as Ross was, he knew that was way too big of a bite for him to take.

"We can't, no."

"This job would be worth 90 million dollars! how can you say no?

"It's not safe!" Ross shot back.

"Sleep on it. I'm sure you'll come to your senses."

Ross got back up and walked over to his seat next to Rachel who was sleeping soundly. He immediately got on his laptop. As soon as he was on, he received an IM from Chandler.

Wenus05: Hey, If you are ready, I will tell you the rest of the info...

DINOmite0101: What? I thought you just told me to sleep on it!

Wenus05: Yea, yea, what ever. So.....do u wanna know?

DINOmite0101: Yea, ok. Go ahead. Who, what, where, when, why, and how?

Wenus05: NOOOOOWWW we're talkin'! Every fourth of July, the The Imperial Ambassador Hotel holds a huge party. Everyone will be occupied at the shindig while we get the loot.

DINOmite1010: It sounds too easy. Now what? How will we do this?

Wenus05: Here's the deal. I already have the plan. I am very aware of the security system they have, though I have never worked on it. The vault is in the east wing basement, it is highly secured. First, we need our reasoning. I will tap into the software and change the invitations, which have not yet been sent. We write Rachel's and your names. Joey is going to be a waiter for the party. While there, Rachel and you will act as though you are on your Honey moon, and Phoebe will meet you in your hotel room from the window.

DINOmite0101: So far so good. What next?

Wenus05: Ok, next, we have Rachel sit in the room and cause a disturbance, we need every guard in there, so we are going to have to buy her a huge necklace or something expensive, hide it, and have her report it missing. We will have fewer guards to worry about for you and Phoebe. At exactly 11:00, we need that safe opened and emptied. We will have Monica 'screen freezing' their screens.

DINOmite0101: Screen Freezing?

Wenus05: This is a new method she just created where the guards and hotel officials will look on their monitors and see the time moving, but we freeze the same picture onto it. We will have footage from other robberies so that it doesn't look fake. As soon as it is emptied, you and Phoebe need to escape through the ventral system to the roof, and climb back into your and Rachel's room. Phoebe will then give us in the car the money, and you, Rachel and Joey, will mingle with the people and act surprised when you find out the money was stolen from their safe. Have Rachel go into a hysterical fit about how she had put money into it, then both of you storm out on the 'Bad Hospitality.' Joey will meet us when his shift has ended. Then, we high tail it to Aruba!

Ross was about to write back, when the pilot came on the loud speaker. The sudden noise made Ross jump. He sighed.

"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going 45,000 mph at a height of 35,000 feet. We hope you are enjoying your flight on Delta Air. We would like all electronic items turned off at this time. Laptops, Cell phones, ECT. Thank you we will be arriving in Ontario California shortly."
