"Sir, you know what we have to do, right? I mean, her name is all over the public now, her real one," Spider asked his boss. Spider's frown deepened as his shadowed boss hesitated in his chair. That was not a good sign. She was the best of the gang, though young as she was. Only sixteen, but she was able to take out Fort Knox if she set her mind to it.
"Yes, I suppose we will have to follow the rules, but she's such a good thief…" he sighed. The man tightened his hands over his knees, hoping he wouldn't have to do anything that would harm her. "I will set up a plane to get her out of here for a vacation. Tell her we will call her when the heat dies down a bit, but nothing more."
"Should I follow tradition with this one?" Spider asked, regretting that he did as soon as the words escaped his lips.
"No," his boss answered. Spider silently sighed in relief. "We'll keep her over at the new town for awhile and make sure she doesn't get bored there. Once we're able to convince the media that it was a mistake then it might be a possibility that she will be able to return. I am giving no guarantees on this, though."
"Yes, sir." Spider bowed halfway before walking towards the door. He opened it, glad to feel the warm breeze on his skin. He closed the door behind him and walked over to the elevator on the other side of the rooftop. He would go deliver his orders immediately, and hopefully be able to admit his feelings for her before she had to leave.
He clicked the red button on the elevator twice before punching in 5291, sending him to the basement floor of the building. The elevator wouldn't stop to pick up passengers so he began to prepare his meeting with her in the comforting silence. 'Alexis,' Spider smiled, 'I guess it's better than Shadow.'
Nobody knew the names of the other workers and thieves. Nobody had a need to, their codenames were good enough and there was no chance that their personal lives would be in danger from a rogue thief attacking them. Information always had a tendency to leak out to other businesses, and Fear apparently wasn't the weasel who had been giving away all of our information to our rival company. Watching countless hours of a guy sitting at his desk doing nothing but sign papers and roll a pen around was a very boring job, but he didn't do anything than that so the workers still didn't know who the weasel was.
"Hey, how are you doing Spider?" Shadow called as the elevator opened. Spider blinked up, wondering how she knew it was him, yet she hadn't turned around from the table she was sitting at. She had a piece of paper with eyes drawn on it, the darkest he had ever seen, though it was done in black ink so he wasn't sure what color they were supposed to be in the first place.
He smiled at her, realizing that he had been the only one to come down from the top height and she probably knew that from when it first beeps to show that someone's coming. She had been sent to guard duty since her name got out. She lived down here anyway so the police couldn't find her, but she still couldn't leave the confines of the basement level.
"Is it good news or bad news?" she asked after noticing Spider taking his time to respond.
"Well, both, sort of," Spider began. "You one hell of a lucky, damned girl, you know. The boss is going to send you somewhere until the heat dies down. He's already getting the tickets but we're going to have to hurry to the airport before anyone notices it's you. But I know the heat is only going to turn into a raging fire for a long while. You'll have plenty of waiting time."
"Is that all, Spider, because I don't really care. If Boss isn't sending out a hit on me then I'm fine," Alexis shrugged. "I've already got my stuff packed up and I can just buy some more stuff to fit in later."
"You've had this planned before we even said there wasn't going to be a hit on you, didn't you?" Spider asked.
"Well, one's gotta keep alive," Alexis smirked. "Let's go."
Spider grabbed Alexis's bags and carried them out to the waiting taxi as she adjusted a wig and her make-up. Spider walked back inside to find he could barely tell it was her at all. Her dark purple lipstick matched perfectly with her raven-haired wig. The wig's length managed to cover her shoulders enough to hide a scar she had and she even wore brown colored-contacts to replace her blue ones.
"What are you gawking at? Let's go already!" Alexis frowned.
"Well, I can't go with you all the way to the airport. I have a job that I have to do. This is about as far as I get," Spider frowned. He thought over what he wanted to say to her, wanting to tell her his real name and his feelings. He closed his eyes as he tried to sort out a sentence that would make sense enough for her to want to keep in contact with him.
He nodded at the right sentence and built up his courage as he opened his eyes. He opened them to see an empty spot where Alexis was standing. Spider looked around quickly before hearing a car door slam behind him and Alexis shouting out, "I'll see you later hopefully!"
"Aw man, and I was really going to do it that time," Spider complained before putting on his jacket and whistling for another taxi.
