Ruby stood outside the building, wearing an orange jumpsuit with another in hand, as the windowless van pulled up, Blake stepping out to have the garb flung at her. She grabbed it in one hand while slamming the door shut, Ruby inquiring, "Holy shit, what happened to you?

"Long story." the faunus girl replied, annoyance in her tone.

"The gas in there?"

"Yeah, are we gonna need the van?"

"No, just grab a few, just in case. Get in that, Weiss is waiting up there with the crew."

Blake quickly stepped into the suit, pulling it up over her legs and sliding her arms in before zipping it up before treading up the stairs behind Ruby. The two strolled into the office, finding Weiss conversing with two men in suits identical to theirs. One wore a red and blue tricorne hat, his black hair peaking beneath it, and the other a long-haired blonde man with a thin moustache and a large, oval-shaped hat with a single blue feather. Weiss turned to her other comrades, addressing them as a whole, "Good for you two to finally show up, let me introduce you to the crew," she said, pointing to the man in the tricorne hat, "This is Thatch Edwards, a master marksman with a particular interest in collecting guns. In fact, he's provided all three of you and himself with some heavy automatic fire, the licensing numbers being scratched off for obvious security reasons. This man here is Francois Delatrois, another expert marksman but one with a particularly good taste in foreign cars, he's provided us with rather inexpensive dirt bikes for himself and Blake to speed through the tunnels with..."

"Wait, what tunnels, and what do you mean I'm driving?" Blake detested

"Ruby said that was a great skill of yours, so just consider it another reason we're letting you in on the job, B, don't let us down."

Blake threw her hands in the air and turned away, shaking her head as Ruby interjected, "Wait, you've got a gunner and a driver, where's the hacker?"

"That's what I was getting to, along with cuts. Since I can trust no one else to do the job, I'll be your hacker."

"What, you already get a cut since you're lining up the job..."

"Yes, but I only get a measly five percent cut, but both of these guys are taking fifteen percent, and I want that too. So, I get twenty percent."

"Are you fucking crazy?!" Ruby roared, getting in Weiss' face.

"No, I'm not, I can take down those cameras and that alarm before the gas even filters in the building. You need me because no one else can hack like me, and you know it. For God's sake, I can access the city's security cameras and keep constant tabs on you just for fun, like when you and Neptune had that little tryst in the bushes out in Central Park..."

"What, you saw that...Whatever, fine, you can have the cut, any last words?"

"Hm...nope, I'll turn it over to you."

"Alright, here's what we got, guys. We go in fast, grab everything in the cases before they wake up and you two," Ruby instructed, pointing at Blake and Francois, "head for the tunnel, Thatch and I will be waiting in the van to pick you up and drive to the drop off point in that slum cul-de-sac. Any questions?"

No hands went up nor voices heard. "Good, let's head out. Initials from now on, kids. Blake, you're riding with me in a nice, unregistered car Weiss has so kindly acquired for us. Thatch and Francois, take the van, unload the bikes out front and wait for people to start dropping inside before you go apeshit on the glass. That's all, let's head out."

A wine-red Zion Cabrio pulled up along the side of building opposite the dust shop, a scaffold towering halfway up the wall to the roof. Ruby and Blake placed their masks on their faces as Ruby said, in a muffled voice, "Alright, can you leap up the scaffold and then to the roof?"

"For sure."

"Good, just get to a vantage point high enough so that you can see the opening to the air conditioning system, okay? Throw one in and get in the store immediately, we'll be waiting for you."

"Alright." Blake said after taking a breath, stepping out of the car and looking around to make sure the coast was clear.

It was. She crouched down and propelled upwards, easily landing on the top layer of the scaffold and then the roof in the next bound. She quickly surveyed the roof, finding a power system standing just higher than the barb-wire topped fence surround the system. She sprinted towards it and ascending it, pulling a gas grenade and taking aim. She catapulted it at the opening, the canister spiralling through the air and crashing against the inside before dropping down, smoke billowing out a few moments later.

The gas slowly funneled out of the AC as four patrons observed the dust and one blonde woman conversed with the red-haired man at the check-out. Their conversation ended as the man took notice to the gas funneling in, "I thought told them to fix that goddamn AC!"

The man's breath became fatigued, he and the customers inside collapsing in a quick order, fighting to stay awake and crawling for a few short seconds before succumbing to the gas.

Blake leapt from the rooftop, rolling as she hit the ground and stood in line beside the group. "Alright, B, F, watch the bikes, T and I are going in."

The duo charged into the building, smashing through the glass with the butts of their rifles and grabbing all the dust in sight, stuffing it into their duffel bags. The speaker in all four of the members' ears rang out, "The system is going to automatically reset in 90 seconds, keep up your pace and we can break for lunch before it goes off."

"That's why we pay you the big bucks, Weiss!"

Within another 30 seconds, Thatch and Ruby had completely cleaned out the store, exiting to find an elderly, gray-haired man in a red apron harassing Blake and Francois. "Hey, you have to get these bikes out of here." the aging man said.

"How about you back the fuck up!" Blake demanded.

Ruby wrapped her arms around the man's chest and neck, spinning him around and slamming him onto the cobblestone road, the man turning over and staring in shock as Ruby said, "You forget thousands of things everyday, pal, make sure this is one of 'em."

Ruby turned to Blake, handing her the duffel bag and Thatch handing Francois his, before instructing, "We'll see you at the river, go!"

Blake and Francois went screaming out of the alley and into traffic, the drones of sirens in the distance closing in. "Follow me, mon ami, and we shall cut through them like a finely-sharpened sword through flesh." the noble said through the speakers in their ears.

The pair of bikes sped through traffic and past failed police blockades before they sailed through a break in a cement rail that separated the overpass from the freeway. The driver's voice came to life over the speaker once more as they cut through the lanes of traffic and into the tunnel, "Ha ha, not bad, mademoiselle, not bad! Just keep up behind me and we shall reach the Vineyard River in no time."

The duo sped through the subterranean structure, riding up stairs, tearing through mud, and snaking through tunnels. Finally, Francois called out again as they ascended a ramp, light billowing in, "Alright, we're almost there!"

The dirt bikes came flying out of the entrance, but their ears were met with sirens and their eyes with cruisers closing in on the entrance. Just as they hit the ground, they went screaming down the cement base of the near-dry river, a van chasing along with. "Shit, how'd they find us here?!" Blake cried over the speaker.

"They just followed the tunnels to here, they don't know a damn thing." Ruby said, ramming the van into the cruiser, forcing it into the pillar of a bridge and sending it spinning through the air and onto another cruiser.

The van followed behind the pair of motorbikes, ramming three more cruisers off course and totaling them. "Shit, roadblock!" Blake's voice screeched over the speakers.

"Cross the river, it ain't nothing, just let me deal with any cops!" Ruby said.

The crew crossed the river, a cop car pulling out of a tunnel but was promptly rammed and flipped by the van. They crossed over the river and avoided another blockade, this time no cops popped out or followed. "Alright, we just need to get to the end of the Vineyard River and we're in the clear! We'll pick up the bikes and head to the drop-off point."

The medley of vehicles advanced further down the river, stopping near where the river met ocean, the backdoor dropping down like a ramp as the bikes drove up into the back. The van sped up a ramp and joined back into traffic immediately, Blake calling from the back, "Holy shit, I thought I was gonna be stuck to that bike!"

"I was afraid you were gonna be stuck under a cop car." Ruby quipped.

"We did not just get away with that shit! I mean, someone's gotta be waiting around the corner, right?"

"You know what, I think we did it." Ruby reassured.

The van pulled off the main road and into the decaying roads of the slums, pulling into a thin alley and then under a sheet roof. Ruby hopped out of the van and pulled a rope, a blue tarp falling down and covering the entrance, Ruby instructing the crew further as Weiss walked towards them, "Alright, guys, split up for now. They're gonna be looking for a crew."

"I'll wire you all your cuts when the dust has been sold." Weiss added.

"Fuck, that was crazy, what do we do now?" Blake inquired.

"We get out of here, disband, keep our heads low for now." Weiss answered.

Ruby tapped Blake on the chest and said, "Hey, you did good kid, what did I tell you Weiss, huh? Alright, everyone, head out!"

The group spread out from Ruby and back into the streets and the dying light, the sun painting the horizon with all magnificent shades of purple, yellow, orange, and red. The veteran reached out and grabbed Blake's shoulder, whispering, "Hey, Blake, Weiss and I have a few things we've gotta clean up, alright? How's about you stop by my place tomorrow and we celebrate?"

"Sounds great, you still owe me that drink."

"Yeah, yeah, see you then." Ruby replied, shaking Blake's hand before the faunus girl departed.

Ruby and Weiss stood alone in the alley, staring at the tarp and then the beautiful display in the sky, Ruby stating, "Oh, man...we're back in action!"
