"When do you make your deposit?" Duo checked with Quatre and Dorothy.
"When we get your signal," Quatre said as he prepared the phony cash cart.
"What do we look like?" Dorothy scoffed.
"A couple of horny rabbits," Catherine said as she slid inside the hollow cash cart. Dorothy glared at the woman and smirked.
"Are you okay in there?" Duo asked Catherine. "Need anything? Snacks? Magazines? Love novels?" Catherine looked at him venomously.
"It would be unladylike for me to give you something obscene," she said.
"And what would that be?" Duo asked as he gave her the oxygen tank.
"This," she gave him the finger making Duo shut up.
"Okay," he gulped. "Counting down. Thirty minutes of air starts, now." He slammed the lid shut and looked at Quatre and Dorothy. "Must be PMS," he said as he walked away.
"He must be cursed if every woman in the known world he approaches suddenly develops PMS," Dorothy smirked. "Either that or he's not getting it."
"I'd go for the latter," Quatre said as he pushed the cash cart out of the room.

In pit five, a dealer named Christine was the subject of conversation of two gentle men. She was called by the pit manager to walk with him to the said gentlemen.
"It has come to our attention, Mr. Dekim. Apparently, she has a record longer than... well, long," 'Odin' said as he glanced at Dekim Junior. The older man was cold as he glared at the woman.
Dekim clicked his tongue as he opened the portfolio, caching Odin glancing at it. Frowning, he pocketed the small envelope containing the codes in his jacket.
"If you say who you say he is," Dekim said. "Been in the commission long?" he asked.
"Eighteen months," Odin answered.
"Do you know, Harry Lee over there? Work with him at all?" Dekim asked speculatively.
"On my second month," Odin sighed.
"Really?" Dekim was suspicious.
"Then he died," Odin smirked. Dekim's suspicion was abated a bit when he heard this. Christine was now standing in front of them looking confused.
"Christine Hiltz?" Odin asked.
"Yes?" she answered.
"Odin Lowe, NGC," he showed his badge.
"What's this about?" she asked.
"Maybe we should continue this privately," Dekim said and Odin just nodded in agreement.

Relena found her table and began to sit. She was placing her overcoat on the chair when she saw him approaching her. Sighing, she stood up and walked towards him.
"What do you want?" she asked almost angrily but her feelings for him never changed. Albeit there are times he made her crazy.
Heero just stood there, looking at the only person he had loved.
"I can't convince you change your mind?" he asked softly. Relena looked at the ground and shook her head.
There was a pain in Heero's heart that he could not describe. It felt like someone was crushing it with a vise and then rolling it over with a stream roller. The first time he felt it was when she left him. And he was more surprised that he had a heart that can feel pain.
"Then this is goodbye," he said calmly, but Relena could see the hurt in his eyes.
"Oh Heero," she sighed. But he did what she didn't expect him to do; he smiled.
He neared her and planted a peck on her cheek. Relena blinked. How she wanted to tell him but the situation forbids her to.
With a sincere, sad smile, Heero left.
Heero never looked back as he left but he was stopped by two gorillas.
"Mr. Yuy," one of them said. "Mr. Dekim wanted to see you.
"Right," Heero glared at them before following them.
**
"Ms. Hiltz," Odin took out a folder from his briefcase. "Or should I call you Mr. Schebeiker?" she didn't answer. "You are Ms. Hilde Schebeiker formerly of the New York Women's correctional facility?" more silence.
"I take if from your silence that you are not going to refute that," Odin said and turned to Mr., Dekim. "Mr. Dekim, I'm afraid that you've been employing an ex-convict." Giving him the folder, Odin turned his back on Hilde.
"Sexist pig," she murmured. Odin blinked and looked at her.
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"You heard what I said," she spat out. "What do want me to do? Shine your shoes? Want me to get on this table and dance? Or strip tease? Because you don't want me dealing cards."
"The last proposition sounds intriguing," Odin said amused. Hilde suddenly jumped up and attacked him. He suddenly backed up, bumping into Mr. Dekim. Getting his balance back, he tried to subdue the woman.
"I'm only trying to do my job," he said.
"And your job is getting people to the streets?" she said angrily. Turning to Dekim, Odin sighed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Dekim. This went out of control." He forced Hilde to sit and then straightened his suit.
*
"He's got it," Duo smiled. "Quatre, Dorothy, deliver the package."
*
Dorothy and Quatre pushed the cart towards the gates but they were stopped by security.
"I forgot my card," Quatre said as he felt through his pockets.
"You idiot!" Dorothy screamed.
"Don't call me and idiot!" Quatre screamed back.
"Cool it guys," one of the guards said. "What's in here?
"Mr. Dekim's stuff," Dorothy said. "To be brought to the vault."
"Okay," the guard said. "We'll take care of it."
"Thanks pal," Quatre said and he and Dorothy left.
**
Back in the monitor room, the video screens showed a man in a tux walking with two goons, and a guard entering the elevator. Another with the cash cart followed him and they descended into the vault.
"There's your case, Mr. Marquise," the manager said.
"Wonderful," Zechs adjusted his tie as he struggled to breathe.
**
"That's my cue," Duo said as he fixed his tie. "Give Wufei the go," he said and left.
"Wufei, what's your status?" Trowa asked.
"I'm nearly there you impatient fool," he said through the radio.
"Charming," Mariemaia said as she leaned on her chair.
**
Mr. Dekim and his pit manager exited the office and Hilde and Odin followed.
"Escort Ms. Schebeiker out of the casino," he told the manager. "Don't step into my casino ever again," he warned her. With a snort, they left.
Mr. Dekim walked towards another exited and Odin followed. Suddenly, he felt for his belt.
"Shit," Odin said as he went through his pockets. Dekim looked at him in irritation. "I left my pager back there."
Dekim sighed and smirked.
"Do you know the way back?" he asked.
"Yes sir," Odin said.
"Good," Dekim left without another word.
"Sorry," Odin called out and went the other way. Looking back he saw that he was alone. He then took a small card out of his pocket and walked towards the elevator.
*
Heero glared at the two large men as they waited for Dekim Junior. Inwardly, the gorillas shook with fear but they did not show it. Heero looked around and looked up.
"No cameras?" he asked the two. "Don't want anyone to see what's going on here?" he asked stoically.
Suddenly someone knocked and one of the goons opened it. When he did, there stood the biggest, meanest muscle Heero had ever seen.
"We'll step outside," one of the goons said. "You two have a lot to talk over." The two stepped out, leaving Heero and the man alone.
*
Back at the monitor room, Zechs saw that his case was inside the vault. Unfortunately, it was placed on top of the newly delivered cash cart.
"Your case is delivered," the manager said.
"Thank you," Zechs shook.
"Is there something wrong?" the manager asked.
"No," Zechs said. "I'm fine."
*
Dekim joined Relena as they sat in the front row of the MGM's boxing arena. Everyone was cheering as the contenders entered the arena.
Relena looked at Dekim but he was unreadable. It was like Heero all over again. But she could see through him.
He was hiding something. And Relena didn't know what.
**
Zechs's breathing was irregular and the manager noticed this.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Suddenly, Zechs collapsed and everyone fell into confusion.
"Call a doctor," the manager said. Not knowing that when their backs were turned, the monitors flickered and changed.
*
Jeremy opened the elevator doors with the codes he stole. When he entered, he opened the maintenance hatch and bent to bring his case up.
"Hold this," Jeremy said as a hand emerged from the hatch. "I can't believe you don't trust me."
Heero held his hand and lifted him up.
"I do now."

To Shadowfax: What was Rusty going to say? I was puzzled by it. It was rather frustrating that he didn't continue it. I also love the way Linus kept bumbling around but I think that was the point.
To Jaid Skywalker: Thanks for the reply. And thanks for the patronage. And if you're going to rent the movie, remember, it's the newer version of Ocean's 11. Starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia and Matt Damon. The Original movie stars the Rat Pack. By the way, what animes do you like now?
