Duo Maxwell strode up to the guard in duty wearing a tan suit and carrying a doctor's bag.
"Did someone call for a doctor?" he asked. The guard led him in.
***
Heero and Jeremy were already preparing for their descent. They wore black vest with pockets for their tools. Jeremy opened the briefcase and lifted the false top, revealing an assortment of tools for their job.
"How did you get here?" Jeremy asked coldly.
"Gave a friend a couple of million," Heero said just as cold. "You didn't seem surprise to see me."
"I figured that the scene upstairs was to get me to do this," Jeremy said. "I'm quite miffed that you didn't trust me."
"It's hard to trust someone who has an ulterior motive," he said.
"I do not have an ulterior motive," Jeremy glared. "What I have is a sideline."
"Sideline?"
"YOU are the one who assigned me to protect Mariemaia," Jeremy said. "So the best way to protect her is to eliminate the threat."
"And how are you going to do that?" Heero asked.
"You'll see," Jeremy smirked. "Why go through all that charade anyway?"
"Where's the fun in that?" Heero asked.
"You have that word in you're dictionary?" the younger thief asked. Heero only glared at him.

"He's dead," Duo said as he tried to revive Zechs. But all is in vain. "I'm sorry," he said as the medics came with the gurney.
***
Hanging from 200 feet, Heero and Jeremy looked down and saw the web of laser sensors beneath them. Both of them placed their winches on the metal under the elevator.
However, Jeremy was reluctant.
"Will these hold us?" he asked. Heero carefully hung from the winch and sighed in relief.
"Trowa, we're set," Heero said in his transceiver.
**
Duo rolled the gurney through the casino when he heard Heero's transmission.
"Trowa, we're set."
***
"Wufei, we're set," Trowa's voice came in Wufei's earpiece.
"Wait a minute," Wufei grumbled as he set up the pinch.
"Catherine doesn't have a minute," Mariemaia's voice was filled with worry.
"Why do you send a weak woman to do a man's job," he said.
"I'll get down there and kick you're butt if you don't do you're job!" Hilde's voice was filled with anger.
"Okay, woman," he grumbled and took the trigger. He stepped a few feet away and pressed the trigger.
"Women," he huffed. "Never satisfied." The pinch was armed and then complete darkness.
***
Chaos and confusion enveloped the strip when the lights went out. And it was the perfect opportunity for all the grifters.
And Heero and Jeremy found themselves in a dark elevator shaft.
"Crack it," Heero ordered. They took out the fluorescent and cracked them, creating a green glow of phosphorus, illuminating the entire shaft.
"Go!" Heero said and they released the lock on their winches and the plummeted towards the bottom.
As they reached about six feet from the bottom, the winches stopped halting them abruptly. They groaned as the shock was absorbed by their body.
"Cut it," Heero ordered and they cut the wires holding them just in time before the electricity went back on and the laser sensors went back online.
***
Pandemonium enveloped the casino as the lights went back on. Players were fighting each other and grabbing chips from the table.
And on the boxing ring, it was no different.
The boxers were getting at it and some of the spectators joined it. It became a circus.
Dekim Junior told Relena to get her coat and they left the stadium.
***
Catherine was confused as to why was the lid so heavy. Pushing it upward, she heard the clinking of the chain and she knew right away that those guards left the case carrying the explosives on top of her cage.
As she opened her lid wider, the case slid but she managed to hold on to the chain before the case touched the sensors.
Meanwhile, outside the vault, Heero and Jeremy opened the elevator doors slightly and pushed a small concussion disk. Closing the door both men heard a thud. Jeremy was about to open the door but Heero stopped him. There was another thud and He gave the go.
The climbed up the doors and found the two guards unconscious. They bounded the guards and Jeremy entered the code to open the outer vault doors. Doors opened, they entered towards the inner vault doors.
"There's a 95 pound woman with a hundred million dollars behind this door," Heero said as he marveled at the door.
"90 pounds," Jeremy said. "She's touchy about that. Anyway, let's get her out." Heero nodded and pounded on the door.
Catherine heard the signal and pocketed the "gems" before making her jump.
"Twenty she shorts it," Hilde said.
"No bet," the others in the room said nervously. Catherine flipped backwards but she misjudged the jump. She landed on her bottom on the shelf but there was too much inertia that the almost flipped and fell. Her quick reflexes saved her as she clung on the sides.
Mariemaia, Hilde and Trowa sighed in relief but it's not over yet.
Catherine inches her way toward the vault door and planted the explosives, when she was done, she pounded on the door.
Hearing this, Heero nodded and planted the detonators at key areas of the door.
"How are we doing?" Wufei suddenly asked as he returned from his job.
"Pins are on the floor sensors now," Trowa said.
Catherine set the last explosive and pounded the door again.
"Okay," Heero said as he placed the maid detonator on the door. "Twenty seconds to blow the door."
"Twenty," Jeremy counted down.
Inside Catherine was about to go and take cover but she found that her bandaged hand was stuck on the door lock. Panicking, she desperately tried to get away before the door blew.
"Oh no," Trowa said as he saw the whole thing on the video. "Jeremy, do not blow the door. Jeremy, do you copy?"
"The pinch must have blew out his earpiece," Wufei said.
"Jeremy come in," Trowa tried.
Heero held the detonator ready to press the trigger at Jeremy's word.
Catherine closed her eyes and expected the inevitable.
"Five," Jeremy counted. "Four, three, two, one." Heero pulled the trigger.
But nothing happened. Heero continuously pressed the trigger.
Catherine blinked when she didn't feel the explosion. Sighing, she removed her stuck hand and hid for safety, while the boys outside tried to figure what was wrong.
"What's wrong with it?" Jeremy asked. Heero shrugged and shook the detonator before pressing it again. "Did you check the battery?" Heero blinked and looked at him. Jeremy sighed and gave him the replacements." You know, you lose focus in this game for one second..."
"I know. Someone will get hurt," Heero replaced the battery and pulled the trigger.
Still nothing happened.
"Did you turn the detonator on?" Jeremy asked. Heero glared at him and flipped a switch. He pressed the trigger again and an explosion rang in the room.
As they opened the doors, the visibility was almost zero and when the smoke cleared, Catherine was sitting on a pile of debris, cross-legged and smirking seductively.
"What took you?" she asked. Both men only glared at her.
As they loaded the money, the guys in the hotel room looked at it lovingly.
"Next to my wife that's the sexiest thing have ever seen," Millard said much to the chagrin of the others.
Trowa breathed out loud and took his mike.
"Duo, you're up," he said.
In the casino, Duo took out his mobile phone and dialed.
***
Dekim Junior walked away from the MGM with Relena close behind. Suddenly, a phone rang. Dekim looked at Relena and frowned.
"Are you going to answer that?" he asked.
"I don't have a phone," she answered. Frowning in confusion, Relena took out a phone from her pocket. "This isn't mine."
"See who it is," he said gruffly. Growling at him, Relena did as she was told.
"Hello?" she asked.
"May I speak with Dekim Junior please," a businesslike voice said on the phone.
"It's for you," she gave him the phone.
"Yes? Who the hell is this," he said almost angrily. His casinos are in turmoil and he doesn't have to deal with this now.
But the caller said five words that gave him Dekim's full attention.
"The man's who's robbing you," the man said casually.

A/n: Sorry for the delay. I had some important things to do that can't wait. But I'll try to finish this before the week is finished. (I hope)
