Lyrics belong to Oomph from the song "Träumst du".

Du weißt genauso gut wie ich
Dass ich nicht schlafen kann
Denn meine träume kreisen
Immer nur um dich:

I woke with a start as the room phone rang, I fumbled to get out from under Amy's half dressed body, she mumbled and rolled over. I grabbed the phone.

"Hello?" I rubbed my eyes wondering how long we had been asleep.

"Lucy?"

"Scud?" I asked, confused.

"Are you sleeping?" He asked sounding a little pissed.

"No, totally not," I lied, sitting up and running my fingers through my hair.

"Right," he answered, obviously not buying it. "Well we only have about a half hour till the meet, so I was wondering..."

"Oh shit," I jumped up, shaking Amy. "You in the lobby," I asked Scud as Amy's fluttered open.

"Yep," he answered.

"We'll be right down." I hung up the phone. "We slept for hours, the meets in a half hour." I told Amy as I pulled on a jacket.

"Oh," she jumped up, finishing dressing in about two seconds. She brushed her hair quickly and we headed downstairs.

"Cutting it a little close aren't we?" Scud smirked standing up as we entered the lobby.

"Just giving you your alone time," I smiled sweetly back. Scud led us out the door to a waiting cab, we all piled in letting Amy tell him the address. She leaned back in the seat looking over at me with a smile.

"What?" I asked smiling back.

"Nothing," she answered leaning her head on my shoulder. I kissed her hair leaning my head on hers and enjoying the smell of her, Scud met my eyes and stuck out his tongue. I smiled shutting my eyes and letting the ride pass silently, soon we reached the address and filed out of the cab.

"So which building?" Scud asked as the cab pulled away.

"That one," Amy pointed and we headed up the street, stopping when we were directly across from the building.

"Any sign of the beast?" Scud asked, looking around, I smirked and glanced around for Conner.

"There," I pointed her out, standing from a bench, I waved, and she scowled, stalking towards us.

"I could see you just fine," she hissed.

"Sorry," I hoped she understood that I definitely did not mean it.

"Whatever," she glanced around. "Let's get this over with. Is there a back door?"

"Yes," Amy answered. "An alley runs through the middle of the block, if we head around that way we should be able to get in with no witnesses."

"Sounds good to me," I nodded and started in the direction she indicated the alley. The others fell into step behind me; we rounded the corner silently, moving quickly down the alley.

"What's the security on this one?" I asked, as we approached the back of the building.

"About the same as the last one, motion detectors, noise detectors, it's another old building so should be easy in and out," Amy answered.

"Just like last time yeah?" Conner's voice betrayed her smirk even in the dark alley.

"Well if we can all remember the motion detectors this time," Scud drawled, flashing a smile at Conner when she glared at him. Amy entered the pass code and the door swung open, Amy flashed the hallway and we all stepped inside.

"Which way?" Scud asked.

"To the right, we need to get to the north stairwell. The vault is on the top floor," Amy explained. "We'll have to flash as we go."

"Right," I led the way to the right, after glancing up and down the hallway to make sure it was empty. In the dim security lights it was easy enough to see where we were going, the hall ended in a T a sign pointing us left for the stairs.

"Convenient to post directions for us," I smiled back at Amy who grinned back at me. We reached the stairs quickly, Scud putting his hand on the doorknob.

"Ready?" He asked.

"One second," Amy pulled out the scrambler.

"Could we go slower?" Conner asked.

"If you wanted," Amy shot back, fixing the dials and nodding at Scud. "Okay."

He opened the door, and Amy pressed the scrambler, then screamed backing up rapidly as barking exploded from the stairwell. Scud tried to push the door shut, but was too slow, he hit one dog and let go of the door. We took off running back the way we came.

"Shit shit shit," Scud shoved past Conner taking the lead, I glanced behind us, seeing two Dobermans running at full speed after us, I grabbed Amy's hand, pushing myself harder and hoping we would make it to the door. I glanced back again they were getting closer.

"Go!" I yelled as Scud reached the door, yanking it open, he was out in a second, Conner right behind; I shoved Amy through and grabbed the door, yanking it shut behind us, the dogs slammed against it, sending us all a few feet back.

"What the fuck," Scud wheezed.

"I don't remember those in the brochure," Conner huffed, leaning against the wall, barking still clear through the door.

"Now we really have to hurry," I panted, hands on my knees. Amy nodded.

"Yeah, let's just get right back in there," Conner chuckled.

"I hate her, but my sarcasm is with her," Scud nodded.

"We'll go in through the roof," I started looking up and down the building checking for a fire escape.

"Someone is gonna hear those dogs," Conner looked ready to walk away from all this.

"Which is why we are going to hurry, there," I pointed to the fire escape and started towards it, glancing back I saw Scud and Amy following, then Conner, rolling her eyes, arms crossed.

The fire escape ladder hung ten feet off the ground, I motioned Scud over and climbed on his back, he lifted me and stretching my fingers just brushed the bottom rung of the ladder, I stretched a little more and grabbed a hold, tugging down the ladder and Scud set me on the ground. We all climbed quickly, then clattered along up the stairs until we reached the roof.

"Now what?" Conner asked.

"Can you figure where the vault is?" I asked Amy who looked around the roof.

"Should be in the north corner, over there," she pointed and we started in that direction.

"What do you think there's going to be a hatch in?" Conner laughed. "We should just give up for the night, come back tomorrow with some poisoned steak.

"You are evil," I shook my head, totally sickened.

"We have a laser saw," Amy pulled it from her bag, handing it to Scud. "No need for poison steak."

"Here?" Scud asked.

"Try it," I shrugged. "Keep it at an angle so we can get a bit of leverage. Scud nodded and began to laser the hole. In less than a minute the hole was made, Scud grinned up at me.

"Let's see where we are," he pulled out a crow bar wiggling it into the cut, and prying up. He peered inside then looked up smiling. "And we're in."

"You're not serious," Conner looked amazed.

"See for yourself, Lucy, a hand here." Together we lifted away the slab and let it drop to the side. We all knelt around the hole, peering into the vault, lit by the same security lights as the rest of the building. I motioned to Amy to scramble the security feedback, if there was one.

"Okay two of us need to go in," I started once Amy had announced it was safe.

"I will," Amy and Conner spoke together then glared at each other.

"So we let the BFF's go down together and you and I sit pretty here?" Scud asked with a raised eyebrow, I nodded. "Sounds good," and he sat on the roof.

"We could help them down too," I suggested.

"No thanks," Conner sat on the edge of the hole, I had a quick though that she was probably glad she wore pants tonight, then she dropped in. Amy sat on the edge and I moved to help her.

"No thanks," she followed Conner in; Scud shot me a look with a smirk.

"What you didn't see that coming?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and lay with my head in the hole.

"Gimmie the bags, Scud." I passed them down to Amy, and watched as they began stuffing the bags full, three were full when we heard the clattering on the stairs.

"Fuck," my head shot up, Amy and Conner froze. "We got company," I whispered down.

"We gotta go, you guys, get up here, now we gotta go!" Scud hissed waving frantically.

"No, we gotta stay," I corrected him.

"What?"

"Is there anything you can use to reach the ceiling if we close you it?" I asked. Amy looked around, quickly.

"If we pull over a shelf we should be fine. What are you thinking Lucy?"

"I'm gonna shut this, wait ten minutes and follow us out, we'll distract the guard, and meet you back at the mouth of the alley where we came in."

"Oh what the fuck," Conner rolled her eyes. "We are so busted."

"Shut up," I snapped, starting to drag back over the slab. "Scud, a hand here." He helped me drop the stone silently back in place, just as it settled I jumped Scud, knocking him to the ground my lips pressed to his, my body holding his in place. There was immediate shouting in German.

"Sorry?" I asked sweetly, sitting up and pushing my hair back, Scud just lay looking stunned, which would work for now.

"Ah, American. You are tourists?"

"Yeah, sorry is this private property?" He nodded.

"Yes, a government building."

"Oh fuck," I answered, covering my mouth. "Wow, we didn't know."

"Yeah sorry, man," Scud answered, standing and pulling me to my feet, he put his arm around my waist. "It's our honeymoon you know, just looking for a way to make it memorable, yeah?" He gave the guy a wink, and squeezed my ass, I made a mental note to punch him later, but the guard grinned.

"Special, yes. There are apartments a few blocks that way," he pointed. "More likely you will not be interrupted, yes?"

"Sounds good," Scud grinned.

"I must walk you out now," the guard looked almost apologetic.

"Sure," I nodded and we followed him down the fire escape.

"I would take you through the building, but the dogs, they are in a fit tonight," he laughed as we reached the alley. "Follow me to the street please." We followed him out to the front of the building.

"Thanks for the tip man," Scud clapped him on the shoulder. "And for not busting us too bad."

"Ah yes," the man grinned "go and make memories." With a cheerful wave we left him and headed around the side of the building.

"Well now we're a little fucked," Scud whispered.

"How so?" I asked.

"He's gonna figure we had something to do with the whole you know empty vault thing."

"I doubt anyone is going to notice anything until the end of this all DEB convention."

"Hope so." Amy and Conner sat with the car idling at the curb; we climbed in and headed for the meet.

"Well that was fucked," Conner smiled. "How'd you talk your way out of there?"

"Pretended we were on our honeymoon," Scud answered, grinning and sliding an arm across my shoulders. "Works every time. Right honey?" I punched him in the chest, and he gasped for air.

"Don't ever grab my ass again."
