Scarlett POV
"Alright Rick, are you ready?" I ask into my phone, waiting outside by the bus, my plan is to make it look like we are taking the prisoners to another prison on the bus, civilians wont think this any strange as they have seen us do this before, so will look a lot less suspicious then all the prisoners going into a van. I've laid out all the orange suits by the exit so they can quickly get changed into them there before coming out with Rick. The sergeant and some of the others went out to lunch five minutes ago so we have twenty minutes available to us,
"Let's do this Butterfly" he responds I nod at this and end call, I had Rick collect the weapons as would have drawn a few eyes with me carry A LOT of weapons on my own, so he took them into duffel bags that he could carry and took them away to the cells. Johnny said everyone was on board so that will make things easier, I just hope they don't try to run onto the streets, we cant afford suspicion anyone to break the pattern, I've already made a fake email from the Sergeant's boss to have the prisoners transported, and I've covered us by emailing the papers to have the prisoners transported to a prison that has yet to have its network re-started so if any questions on if they have arrived yet, it will take about a week to get confirmation, and if my plans go correctly I will be long gone by then.
I must have been waiting up to twenty minutes and getting nervous now, not seeing anyone coming out, when suddenly I see Rick coming out with a chain in hand and connected are the prisoners in their yellow outfits, I must have not been breathing but I let out a big breath of air without realising.
"Alright on the bus, lets go" says Rick, leading them on board, I wait until the last one is on until going onto the bus and going to the drivers seat and setting us off. Rick keeps them quiet for a bit, not exactly a good thing for the public to see cheering prisoners.
Finally just as we're about to get on the freeway, I go down the next road towards a bridge and go under, thankful for this area being mostly warehouses and such.
"Alright we're here" I say cutting the engines, standing up and tuning to see Rick unchaining everyone, smiling as I see them all cheering.
"Ok, here's what you need to do, you need to find a computer and you need to open a new bank account and give me a call and I will send you your money, its all safe, it just needs to be returned to you" I say, leaning against a chair,
"The cops will just take it as soon as they see our names" one of them says,
"Maybe come up with new names? I'm not saying it's something anyone would want to do, but its an idea if you don't want them finding your money and taking it back" I say, they start talking to one another about this, I hope they can get something sorted, they'll all need their money for one reason or another.
"Scarlett, where is the rest of my money that you didn't send to my wife's hospital?" asks Johnny, I look to him at this,
"With everyone else's, in the account I made" I say,
"The one you say the cops wont be able to ever find?" he asks, I frown wondering where he's going with this but nod,
"Do you think there's any way we could work something out where I can put my money in there…all the time, like whenever I do a job I can put it in there, and maybe you can help me with making sure the right payments go to the hospital, I'll pay you for it" he says, I look at him surprised, I could technically do that, its no bother. And its nice that he's offering to pay me for it,
"Hey can you do that for mine as well, I'll pay too" says someone next to me, I look to him and am actually really surprised that others are asking the same,
"Wait! You trust a cop with your money? To have constant contact with you, she could turn you in" says someone in the back; I frown at him for this,
"You do realise that I just got you out of a police cell. You must have also not been listening to Johnny before when he explained that I am doing all this because I am done with the cops, all they did was use me and abuse my position and skills on the computer, I didn't purposely get you all arrested, I was used as bait and to get rid of Diablo so they could get you without being smoked-literally" I say, this earning a laugh from some of them,
"come on dude, she's cool, I trust her. Girl if you can keep my money safe, make sure my family and whoever else in this bus who wants to as well ask for your services, then that would make you part of the family. We all know what its like to be used, hell that's how I ended up like this, if your willing to do this, then you're an angel in my book" says a guy near Johnny, I smile at this and nod in thanks.
"Ok well as long as your sure" I say, making sure they really want this,
"How much would you want for this?" asks the guy at the back, I am seriously going to have to learn these guys names, but right now I need to think of a means to payment, I don't want much from them, but I'll need some kind of living with me leaving the force.
"Well I know that it can be rough out there so I don't want to charge too much, and I wont take advantage…ok how about this, with every job you do, I take five percent from every job you do, does that sound alright to you?" I ask, looking at them, not sure how they will react, but am surprised that they're nodding and smiling at that, with the amount of guys here I'll be sure to get a good amount,
"Sounds like we got ourselves a guardian angel fellas" says Johnny; I smirk at this, hearing the others laugh.
I look down at my watch and my eyes widen,
"Shit, alright guys you need to get out of those gears, leave them on the bus and I need to get this bus out of here" I say, with this they start doing as I say. We have roughly three minutes before the bus needs taking back and by which the sergeant and the others will return from their breaks and with one less bus and a lot less weapons in the vault.
"Scarlett, we want you to meet us at the bar tonight, cops wont be there will they?" asks Johnny, him being the last on the bus,
"They have no reason to look for you there for at least a week so you'll be safe there for now, I'll meet you there tonight" I say, he nods at this then unexpectedly gives me a hug,
"See you later Angel" he says, I smirk at this, then look to Rick in the passenger seat by the drivers seat and we both nod after Johnny is out of sight,
"So what's the plan now Butterfly?" he asks as I begin driving us back,
"I'm going to give them my notice, not sure what you're plans are" I say, looking to him in question before looking back at the road,
"I'll join you there, but what about afterwards, I don't like the idea of you going out there on your own, especially when they all know you have access to all their money" he says, I nod at this in understanding, there will be a target on my head now, I will need to be careful.
"Why don't you come with me to meet them tonight at that bar, you can help me and I can help you, we'll look for jobs as we go too" I say, he smiles at this and nods, I swear he is like an older very protective brother that I have come to love.
