Chap 3: What the hell went wrong...

The motley cru of teenagers left the club silently. Bulma, Chi-chi, and Eighteen took Eighteen's black Jeep, while the guys took Vegeta's Hummer. Bulma sat in the backseat again only this time taking inventory of the supplies needed to pull off this job. Her laptop showed the diagram of the mansion. Two floors, cameras everywhere, motion detectors, and an alarm system that would make Fort Knox jealous. It seemed too easy, they had done this many times before, and most of the assignments were a lot harder than this. Her blue eyes glanced over the equipment; ropes, night vision goggles, glass cutters, her digital equipment that would scramble the camera signals and alarm systems, disengage the motion detectors. It was all there, but still she felt that something would go wrong,"Eighteen, do the guys have their stuff?"

"Yeah, I double checked twice. They also have some extra stuff, which I really don't think we need, but Goku insisted."

"What extras?", they had stopped at a stop light, exactly one mile from the house.

"What else? Food."

Chi-chi glared at the side mirror, most likely reflecting a picture of a cowering Goku," I told him not to bring food, but does he listen? No, of course not."

Bulma laughed easing some of the tension," How much longer?"

"About, five if the next light is a green. Check and see if the guys communication systems are working." The communication system the group had was pretty simple; a simple, pin sized piece of plastic placed inside the ear. Very much like extremely small walkie talkies, complements of their boss. Bulma flipped a switch on a large electronic box on the floor underneath the passenger seat. Static fuzz sounded before she heard Vegeta, "Turn the volume on that down, you almost deafened us, onna."

She smiled, "Not sorry, Veg-head. Do you have all your equipment?"

Goku answered, around what was probably a pastry of some sort, "Yea be bave bit ball."

"Alright." The cars pulled up the front gates of the house. The exquisitely manicured lawn stretched before them, the house looking like a sentinel against the darkness that surrounded it. They got out of the cars and started to remove the stealth equipment, Bulma briefed them on the assignment, "Okay, everybody, listen up. The owner of the home is a Mr. Kellens. The lucky guy is the owner of the only Black diamond in the world. Roshi wants it, so we'll get it. The cameras have multi-angle view points the alarm system has laser trips; you'll need to use the fog spay to locate them. The area around the diamond has pressure sensitive flooring, you can't step on it for more than five seconds or the silent alarm will go off. The password to the safe, located on the west wing of the second floor is Vixen5630. Worry about getting in and out without getting caught, I'll take care of the digital stuff, got it?"

Four 'got it's' and a 'let's get this over with' greeted her ears. She nodded as if to confirm that she could do this, "Let's go."

She punched in the password for the gate, a standard pattern of numbers any genius could get. The lawn was blissfully easy to cross. Vegeta used a glass cutter to remove a circle of glass to open a patio door. He sprayed some fog on the opening before taking a step inside, no lasers yet. The alarm system panel was on the inside wall next to the door. Bulma removed the cover panel and hooked her laptop up to the main system, she typed in some numbers and codes, "Everything's set. Vegeta, Goku, you get the diamond. Eighteen make sure they have tech support up there, you'll have to relay instructions from me."

"What about the Com system?"

"It won't work once you're in the safe. Chi-chi, I have a special assignment for you."

"What?"

"You have look out."

"I always have look out." the brunette complained.

"That's the only thing your good for." Vegeta said snidely.

Goku frowned, "Hey, that's not all she'd good for. She can cook, and she's really good in-"

"Kakkarot!" Vegeta, referring to Goku's given name and not his nickname, looked horrified," We do not want to know how your wench is in the sack. Don't make us sick!"

"Somebody's not getting any." Chi-chi mumbled.

Vegeta glared, "What was that?"

Bulma stepped in, "Guys, we have a job to do. Let's do it."

Vegeta, Goku, and Eighteen made it up the wide staircase silently. They were almost to the vault, Eighteen relaying Bulma's instructions, "The first laser trip should be about five feet ahead, watch where you step. Bulma's already disconnected the motion detectors; they're only on the second floor, around the safe."

Goku sprayed some fog revealing an intricate laser web, "Bulma can you turn the lasers off?"

A bit of static burst from the walkie talkie then her voice, "Yeah, I'm on it." The lasers disappeared, "That better?"

"Definitely." The door to the vault had a password vault for a door that was six inches of steel, Eighteen punched in the code, "This is where I leave you, you'll be able to hear my voice, just do what I say and you'll be fine."

The floor of the vault was pressure sensitive as Bulma said. Vegeta and Goku put stick pads on the soles of their boots and individual sticks on each of their fingertips. Vegeta went in first placing one hand on the wall and hoisting himself onto the wall, a la Spiderman. Goku did the same. They crawled along the walls like spiders seeking prey. The diamond was on a stand in the middle of the floor. Vegeta climbed onto the wall, Goku following. Vegeta let his fingers off the ceiling and hung upside down, just above the diamond. His gloved fingers reached out and grabbed it.

The emergency lights went on.

Vegeta swore, "Get the fuck out! NOW!"

They dropped to the floor and removed the stickies from their feet and hands, then rushed out into the hall following a panicked Eighteen down the flight of stairs, "What the fuck is going on, Eighteen?"

"I don't know yet." Static came from the walkie talkie as Bulma relayed what happened to Eighteen, "Bulma said she didn't know there was pressure sensitive area under the diamond. The Boss's informant was a little off on his information!"

They reached the entrance where Bulma was packing up her laptop and Chi-chi packing up some equipment. Goku grabbed some bags, "B-chan, what's going on?"

"That idiot, Tien, was wrong; the diamond had a pressure sensitive area underneath it. Basically the rest of the alarms were all fake except that one, we wasted our time."

Vegeta held up the diamond, "No we didn't"

Bulma's eyes widened as she paused what she was doing and looked over the diamond, she smiled, "Did I ever tell you how much I love you?"

"No, but now is not the time to start." Vegeta started removing the equipment and putting it into the car. Everyone pilled in their respective cars and drove like bats out of hell. The Com. Link was still on, " Everybody we meet at the Don's, I have a feeling there'll be a hit out on Tien within the hour."
