Runaways
Chapter 6. Whoop-de-freakin'-doo. Oh, and this takes place in Paris during the 2nd game, if you haven't guessed yet.
Chapter 6: The Plan
The group of teens was sitting at a circular table in a room in David's apartment. They were there to plan a theft of a very unique piece of a counterfeit money machine.
David was typing something on his computer. A slide appeared on the big screen behind him. It was a photo of a nightclub.
"The guy who owns this nightclub's name is Dimitri. He's a forger, and got a money-printing machine under the nightclub" said David. He clicked something, and the image changed; now it showed the machine. "The metal he's using for the printing plates is some alloy that hasn't rusted, or even shown wear, for the last two years of constant use."
The screen faded out to a close-up of the plates. "They're called Clockwerk Tailfeathers, because they were once part of a giant robotic owl named Clockwerk."
"I don't care where they're from," said Melody. She was getting impatient. "How do we get at them and what do we want them for?"
David didn't say anything, so Jay answered. "We want them because they're strong and won't wear down. If someone were to, say, patent something like that, they'd get very rich very quickly." he said patiently.
"Exactly. So, how difficult will this job be?" said Jade.
"Depends on how much security we can eliminate. He's got a big security network, as well as a lot of guards..." David frowned. "This could not even start to work if all his guards are here. Anyone want to volunteer to ruin the guards' main residence? That'll make most of them have to leave to find a new spot to live, hopefully one too far away for them to get to the printing press immediately. We'll need five people."
Seven of them volunteered: Kuma, Melody, Violet, Jay, Mark, Amy, and Jade.
"Sorry, Jay, you can't go, I've gotta talk to you about something. Kuma, Violet, Jade... it's Melody, right? O.K., good, and Mark, you get to go."
David shut off the computer.
Jay said "Alright, you five, you know what to do. Get going." And with that, he left.
Amy glanced at Darren, shrugged, and left with the others.
Jennie watched them go. She hadn't been paying much attention. She had other things on her mind.
But then, so had Jade. She'd been planning something as well.
Another short Chapter... Don't worry, the next one will be longer. And, if you're wondering, Sly will be in Chapter 9 next.
