~|* Running From Fate *|~
~* Prologue *~
A chocolate brown haired young man the age of twenty-two looked over the ocean and into the sunset in Italy. Exactly thirty minutes from now he was to make the biggest mistake of his life. He didn't know it just yet, but this final mission would lead him on another. He stuck his hands in his pockets as the gentle breeze blew his messy hair over his eyes.
"Li, come on, it's show time" A young man said to his leader.
Li sighed, "All right, Takashi, give me a minute."
"You said that we had to go according to plan or it wouldn't work, now come on!" Takashi replied impatiently. To his great surprise, Li chuckled and turned around smiling,
"You're trained too well, Takashi."
Takashi smiled warmly, "Well, I had a great teacher, now c'mon!" Li nodded and they sprinted towards an old boathouse on the edge of a pier.
"You know this could very well be the greatest heist of my career?" Li said, "and it better be as it's the last"
"You're retiring?" panted the young man beside him
"Well, I have enough gold to last me forever don't I?"
"That's true. It's just... I'll miss ya if you go"
"Really?" asked Li surprised as they reached the boathouse and both fell silent.
"Li! Takashi! Over here!" a man hissed at them from behind a door. The duo followed the voice in the dark and stepped into a room, the floorboards creaking. It was a musty, dank sort of place, full of rusty furniture covered in dust. It looked like it hadn't been used in over a century, which made it the perfect headquarters. Li and Takashi stepped over to a table, on the table was a blueprint of a five-story building. On the top it read:
| Klarkson and Company |
It was a multimillion company that manufactured computer games. George Klarkson was the owner of the company and his son, John, was the manager.
"If anything happens to the company it's John's fault right?" a man asked in a deep voice from the corner of the room. He was smoking a cigarette with his hands in his jean pockets. His name was Kyle Simmers and he was in charge of getaway.
Li nodded in Kyle's direction he looked over the blueprint again, "You did plant the explosives right?" He asked another man who was across from him throwing a stick of dynamite up and catching it again.
"Yup, three hundred sticks. Took me forever, but I suppose it'll be worth it?" replied Lance Kitman – explosives.
"It most certainly will Lance, think of it, five hundred million in gold bricks split five ways" Takashi said. Yamazaki Takashi was Li's accomplice and would share in the dangerous work.
"So that's a hundred million each! I'm gonna have fun tonight!" said Jake Withers – hacker.
"We all are," Li said happily, "Now, getaway?"
Kyle nodded in response, "freight train, headed north in twenty minutes, paid the driver a bit extra to help"
"Good, computer screw ups?" Li asked Jake as he fiddled around with his laptop. Jake pressed three buttons and replied, "Done, everything will go off in three minutes"
"Great, now listen, we can't afford anything going wrong, everything has to be perfect got it?" Every man in the room's head nodded and Li continued, "good. I have complete faith in you guys, lets go then" They all grabbed their bags and jogged out the door.
Takashi rolled up the map, stuffed it into his coat pocket and sprinted along with the rest of the four men. By now it was dark out, the sun had set beyond the horizon and crystal stars had begun to glitter overhead. They ran to a small street labeled Petra Crescent and stopped waiting.
Jake fiddled around with his computer again and all the lights across the street went out. Smiling triumphantly, Jake placed his laptop back in his bag and they all ran, swift as cats, to the large five-story building. Li and Takashi left the other three at the entrance and went around the side of the building. Taking grappling hooks and strong rope out of their bag, they shot the hooks upwards and they connected with the ledge two stories up.
The two began to climb the building and a voice suddenly sounded in Li's ear,
"Li! You better hurry, only fifteen more minutes!"
"Okay" Li responded
"You know," Yamazaki began, "If we get out of this alive, I'm never going to do this again!"
Li stifled a laugh, "Then why did you sign on for it in the first place may I ask you?"
"I dunno, thought it might be fun" They cut the ropes and placed them back in their bags when they entered an open window. Creeping along the floor, Takashi continued whispering, "I don't understand why you do this all the time!"
Li whispered in reply, "And you never will, now shush!" They slouched along the walls and avoided many a security guard before they reached the room where the safe was.
"Now" Li said barely above a whisper. As soon as he had said it a loud blast was heard and the safe was falling through many floors, one... two... until it reached the bottom. Li and Takashi jumped through the hole and landed on their hands and feet.
Li got up and went around back, "How many minutes till they figure out it's missing?"
"Oh, about five or six seconds." Kyle replied jumping into the boat with the safe and driving away into the night. About six police boats followed him out across the sea. Takashi and Li grabbed scuba gear and jumped in the water followed by Lance.
Jake was in the boat with Kyle while the police gave high pursuit. "Left!" Jake instructed while Kyle turned.
"They're gaining on us! Hurry up idiot!" Kyle thundered at Jake, who was typing feverishly into his laptop again.
"I'm trying! Would you shut up a minute!" he yelled back over the rumble of the engine. About ten yards later, a helicopter turned up and quickly grabbed them out of the boat and flew away, leaving the boat to smash into a rock and the safe to sink below sea.
Jake and Kyle watched from the helicopter as the police in the boats tried to recover the lost safe. They laughed; it was rather amusing, as that safe wasn't the one they needed.
Behind them in the helicopter was the safe full of Spanish gold. Li and the others came out of the sea about fifty yards away and they picked them up.
~* Next Day *~
"To our great accomplishments!" Lance yelled banging a bottle of whisky with the others.
"To Li, without him this really couldn't have happened, it was his idea!" Takashi added. Li smiled, they had the safe, and George Klarkson had nothing. He drank deeply from his mug.
Wiping his mouth he spoke, "I couldn't have done it without all your help, it's our money!"
"Hear hear!" Kyle said taking another drink.
Everything had gone successfully, the five of them were on a freight train hundreds of miles away from the crime scene. Nobody had suspected them, they had left no clues, and it all looked perfect. The perfect final heist was what was going through Li's head as he drank.
** Note: Its gets a bit gory here so you might wanna skip if you get woozy about those kinda things... it's not too gory though **
Kyle jumped up suddenly claiming he had to use the bathroom and left the table in high spirits. Not two minutes later there was a rapping on their compartment door and a man with a sledgehammer knocked it down. The room was filled with smoke in an instant and Li's companions were fighting to get out and stay awake. The smoke was creeping into their systems and was lulling them to sleep.
Li pulled out a shotgun and loaded it quietly and sneaked up on the invader. He was huge and Li only had about ten seconds before a gunshot was heard. It didn't come from his gun though, Kyle was behind the man and his head was bleeding. They both looked at each other until Li said suddenly,
** Note: You can read now **
"Kyle, run!" he obeyed and jumped off the train into the lake they were going over. Li fought off two more strugglers and jumped off the train himself. He landed into the ice cold water and cursed. Now he had nothing and was probably going to spend the rest of his life running from the police. What to do?
He crawled up onto the frozen grass and crossed his arms hoping against hope that the rest of his team had got out alive. The only thing to do was to escape. Overhead, a bunch of men were running around calling to one another, Li climbed into a large hole and stayed there.
Only two things were running through his mind right now... His friends, and the money. He had to get it back... but how? To do that he'd need help. He decided right there that he was going to escape to Japan. That place was so big and busy, they'd have no hope of finding him there. Unless... if he found someone that would take him in and pretend he was part of their family?
'That could work... it would involve some heavy lies, but it's possible. Lying something I'm good at' he thought desperately and crawled out of the hole. Running around the lake's banks he worked out the finer points of his plan.
~|* To Be Continued... *|~
Sorry it kinda lacks finer details and stuff but you get the basic idea right? Okay very good. Review please!
