Chapter 8- Switching Sides?
Yumi tugged at her cat suit. Despite it's many pros, it gave her a wedgie. "Why are we doing this?" she asked Jeremie again, lowering herself down into the shaft.
"This is the only way to access the basement without actually going through a door or window," Jeremie explained again. "This way no one knows. Besides it leads right to the vault."
"Right," Yumi rolled her eyes and crawled slowly on. Once she reached the right shaft exit, she pulled out a screw driver. Carefully she unscrewed some screws and removed the cover. Silently, she dropped down and waved to Jeremie, signaling for him to do the same.
Jeremie hurried to the vault and opened it quickly. They weren't supposed to speak at all anymore or Yumi would've asked how he'd done it. Odd handed her a box with wheels on it. Together, Jeremie and she filled the box with 50, 5 by 5, diamond bricks. Odd watched lazily.
Yumi nodded and Odd hoisted it up and rolled it back along the shaft. Jeremie erased their presence and they left.
"That was easy!" Odd smiled happily. They hadn't encountered anyone and were on their way home. The three delighted in their own brilliance.
Aelita, however, wasn't it a good mood. The Pangborn's weren't pleased at Ulrich's absence. They were getting very bitchy and Aelita couldn't take it.
"Maid!!!" Mr. Pangborn called. "I'd like another drink!!"
"Yes, Sir," Aelita said, trying to keep the sarcasm from her voice. She refilled the glass and bowed. "I'm sorry, but I must leave you now," she told them and left the room. Ulrich was waiting in the car; Aelita got in.
"Ready to visit the lake?" he asked, driving away from the estate.
"Yes," Aelita nodded and turned on the radio.
The others happened to be listening to the same radio station and heard sirens in the distance. "Any chance they're after us?" Odd asked, switching lanes.
"No…." Jeremie teased. "We've only stolen over 10 million dollars worth of diamonds and sped a little."
Yumi laughed, "Yeah, we should be safe."
The sirens came closer and it became obvious that they were being chased. "Stop!" Yumi told Odd and he did. "Let me drive!" she ordered and Odd complied again. He got out and went in back with Jeremie, Yumi slipped over from the passenger side.
"Zoom," Jeremie suggested and Yumi took off. Turning onto the freeway, she checked her speedometer, 100. That wasn't fast enough.
"We should get off the free way," Jeremie instructed. "Take the next exit and start going on random streets. Try to find an underground garage."
"Alrighty," Yumi exited and slowed down, a bit. She turned a few times and found herself at a mall. She parked on the bottom level and turned off the lights. "Now what genius?"
Sissi smiled evilly. She had been the one who called the cops. "This is only the beginning," she muttered under her breath. Slipping out of her pink Ferrari, she entered the police station.
"May I help you?" the receptionist asked.
"Yes, I need to speak to Herb," Sissi said, tapping her fingers on the desk.
"Alright, you may go to his office," the receptionist nodded her approval. Sissi hurried to Herb's office and walked in without knocking. "Herb!"
"Yes, Sissi?" Herb smiled and looked up from his paperwork.
"Yumi was not supposed to steal anything!" she complained. "Especially, Ulrich's affection!"
"Yeah… but you two never did anything anyway," Herb pointed out, going back to his paper work.
"This isn't acceptable!" Sissi screamed. "He was supposed to be mine!!"
"Sissi…" Herb looked at her seriously. "Didn't you tell me you liked Odd? Besides Ulrich's going to jail anyway; we just need Yumi to do her stuff."
"Well she should straighten out which "stuff" she's supposed to be doing. And yes, I liked Odd. Ulrich was just… perfect. Everyone wants him," Sissi explained, settling down.
"I don't," Herb whispered. "I want you."
"Okay… that's nice Herb. Tell me something I don't know," Sissi said in a falsely sweet voice.
Herb looked at his now vibrating pager, "The squad lost Yumi?"

Is that better for everyone? Hope it is! :p I think I won't make this 15 chappys. Does it really matter?
