The Diary of Amethyst (Encrypted)
I found the secret, I think. According to these files, mum and dad met on a heist. A thing I can believe of course. I have my own heist to conduct, in a tough security bank, the toughest in fact in North America. Fowls love a challenge as I have learned and indeed this is going to be a very delectable challenge indeed. I'm going out now, no worries, holographic me is going to keep suspicions away. Will's coming to, under much persuasion but I think mum's greedy side suddenly popped out of him. Ciao diary, I'm off the North America.
Undisclosed Bank
Amethyst smirked. The bank was so amateurish. Motion detectors, security cameras, guard dogs and codes? This was too easy. A party was going at this time and if her calculations weren't off, she and Willy will be in the vault in precisely ten minutes. The motion detectors were very simple to overcome. Willy manned the computer system in the office while she did all the manual labour.
"Go," he hissed, as he controlled the motion detectors. If the red light was on it was scanning for motion, if it was off she could move freely. Somehow the motion detectors couldn't be turned off, if it was an alarm will be triggered and this was their first crime.
"I can see you know," she growled back.
"Just helping," her brother whispered. "You've passed that area, we should have planned you know."
"I don't care."
"You read the blueprints online, didn't you?"
"That too."
The Fowl heir sighed. "Hurry up, I don't want to get in trouble."
"That's what getting away is about. You do a crime, but you don't do the time."
"Stop, go, stop, go," Amethyst whispered to herself.
"EMMY!" The shout rang in her ears.
"What?" Amethyst snarled, obviously annoyed because her ears were going to be deaf at this point.
"Your blueprints were wrong, there's a heat sensor in the next sector and you can't possibly lose your body heat."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Amethyst barked. She gripped her head, frown lines appeared and visible veins pulsed as she thought of a plan despite her brother's interruptions.
"Get out of there, out of there, now,"
"I've got it. I've got it."
"Come on Emmy."
"Chill," said the second heir. She pulled out a tub of cream, which she had found, she had no idea what it did but it was worth a shot. She slobbered it all over her face certain that it had a use. If she was correct the cream would at least cool her down but she didn't know what it really was for. Yes, her parents had used it on a heist before. It was to disguise body heat and hide every single spot of heat on her body despite where it was put. Lucky Amethyst. She sashayed all the way to the end where she met a titanium and pixie glass door. Well at least she thought it was pixie glass.
"See, I told you."
"Aw, how was I to know?"
"Trust mother and father to come up with the best equipment ever," Amethyst mumbled, smiling ever so slightly at the sight of the cream.
"You will meet a titanium and Utuh door."
"Utuh? Wasn't that created by-"
"Discovered actually," William interrupted, "yes it was discovered by someone we know, mother and aunt Adeline."
"Adolfina actually," Amethyst corrected.
"Keep her alias Emmy."
"Fine, now what do I do?"
"I did a background check on everything mum and dad have, since you took all their old stuff anyway. The titanium and Utuh door will not collapse of course, under the highest pressure. Titanium can be cut with lasers such as the dapper cutter 21 beta but the Utuh part will not be able to be cut."
"Get to the point, don't be like dad."
Artemis the Third, bit his lip, "There's one weakness, it will break down if you touch it with a liquid we don't have."
"What is it?"
"Soda. Orange soda."
"What?" Amethyst exclaimed softly.
"The carbonated water and the little citric acid in the drink will melt the Utuh."
"Fascinating. I do have soda, except it's grape, will that work?"
"Theoretically yes, scientifically no."
"But they have the same content."
"Oh, I never knew that."
"That's because you don't drink soda."
"Wait, you have to add, believe it or not acetone as well."
"Nail polish, I think I have that."
"Alone."
Amethyst snorted. "We have a filter here. Bye beautiful nail polish."
She filtered the nail polish using a filter, a specially made one of course. She poured her acetone and her grape juice into a beaker, since she still wanted to drink her F&N Groovy Grape. She filled a used eyedropper with the liquid and dropped it slowly on the door, the 90 made of Utuh door bubbled leaving behind a strong stench of acetone and grape. The dapper cutter 21 beta was true to its name, it cut neatly and tidily leaving behind no trace since it evaporated into thin air.
"Now what?" she asked.
"The dogs, reach into your pocket and pull out a pen knife."
"I'm not killing the dogs."
"The pen knife is a scent generator of a sort, this happens to be version steak for guard dogs. Press 'steak' and throw the pen knife, the pen knife will crawl exactly a hundred feet away from its original spot with the speed of thirty kilometres per minute and the dogs shall be after them in a jiff. Don't fear their chase shall not be in vain nor will the explosion kill the dogs. It will reward them with a steak since the explosion will provide water to the steak thus making it a proper steak using by hydrating the dehydrated steak. Set off at least three in different directions."
"I'm convinced." She drew out three 'pen knives' and pressed their activation switches. A delicious smell of steak floated in the air with a mushroom sauce smell.
"When the dogs are out Amethyst, when the dogs are out."
"Oops, sorry. See there they are, now how much is a hundred feet?"
"Not much, let them follow their noses to avoid any surprise attacks. You'll have a harder time clearing the next hurdle."
"I've come far enough, thank you very much."
As expected three ferocious Rottweilers charged out of their pens completely overlooking the fact that a human was among them. In three directions they followed the delicious aroma which enabled Amethyst to escape.
Willy typed furiously on the keyboard to view the next challenge. It was rather simple, a large safe was hovering about fifty feet off the ground and the only way to bring it down was to climb fifty three feet off the ground to a key pad where they would need to hack in to perceive the code.
"Step on the bald eagle emblem and key in the numbers I say, 2101, 2349, 4685, 3985," Willy said slowly. "This code will open the first lock of invisible lasers crisscrossing the room."
Amethyst nodded. She stepped on the emblem. Her father would've been impressed indeed, the banks he had broken into involved disguises and the easiest way. They were playing by the villain rules, not the short cut, as impressive as it may be, challenge was no longer foreign and they no longer robbed thus they knew not of the harder systems.
Flashes of blue light surrounded her, forming a octagonal shape around her. She was too short to reach 4685 and had to jump to touch the button. She could hear the deactivation of the lasers and so she went back to her whiz brother.
"Now what?"
"Take out the latest version of Speed Wings and strap it on your back, fly to the key pad, which is the fastest way, unless you want to scale the wall."
"Flying it is."
"I'm waiting for the code," Artemis informed Amethyst. Try those you know. Mother designed the system so the code could be the most obvious or the most complicated systems."
Amethyst hovered around the buttons. Her mother loved her father, so she typed in Artemis.
"Access denied," the metallic voice of the computer proclaimed.
She kept calm. "Hawk," she typed in.
"Access denied."
"Fowl."
"Access denied."
"Amethyst and Willy."
Wheels turning. The safe was being lowered. She smiled widely. "She used our name Will, she used our names."
"Great, now take what you need and let's get out of here."
"Will a million do?"
"More than enough."
