Author's Note: I know my last couple chapters came really quickly and this took so long. Finals are next week, and boys are stupid. Hehe. Not really. Moving on, many people have asked me whether I know which characters I'm not going to be using as much or at all. While I have decided that the characters I have introduced will be making at least one other appearance, I've decided that I'm not going to tell which characters I've decided not to use as much. Sorry. I just don't want people to assume things, because things can change later down the road.
A New Age. A New Team
Chapter 11: Paid Day
The large dark doors to the Chaos location slowly opened to let a flood of light spill into the dark lair, known to the members of Chaos. Two figures slowly walked down the dark and eerie hallway in silence as the bulky one of the two carried a large sack at their side. As the two figures slowly made their way down the hallway and into the large Living Room area, which had more light the two figures came into view.
There was a young man and young girl walking into the living room. The girl walked confidently into the room though she was quite tiny next to the man. The man walked around the couch and turned the bag upside down onto the table and piles of money spilled on and over the edges of the table. The boy plopped down onto the couch and crossed his feet on top of the money, while the small girl smiled in delight at the pile of cash.
The small girl had shoulder length blonde hair that had been tipped pink and sparkling blue eyes. She was dressed in a pink body suit that was slightly low cut and very formfitting. The dark light that was in the Living Room reflected off the girl's body easily and made it seem as if she was glowing. However, at a closer look is was obvious to see that the girl's skin was made completely of diamond.
"Nice job Ashley." The girl made out of diamond said in a French accent to the boy.
The boy, Ashley, looked over at the diamond girl, which made his shaggy curly brown hair, with blonde highlights, sway slightly. "Not bad yourself Karen." Ashley said with a smirk, which made his green eyes twinkle.
The diamond girl, Karen, did a small stretch, which made her make a tiny squeaking noise as she did it, and her skin transformed from it's diamond form back into it's normal skin. When she finished stretching, she sat down on the opposite side of the couch and leaned forward towards the money. She ran her perfectly manicured nails over the top of the money in delight. "Not bad at all." She said softly.
"I wonder where everyone is…" Ashley asked as he looked over his shoulder, down the dark hallway from which him and Karen had just walked in from and then he looked back around to see if any members of Chaos was anywhere near.
"Don't know." Karen said absentmindedly as her blue eyes filled with desire for the money.
"Stop staring at the money like that." Rush (AKA Ashley) chuckled as he stretched while sitting on the couch; knocking some of the money on the table onto the ground.
"I can't help it, Ashley." Karen said as she leaned back against the couch and looked over at Ashley in an innocent face. "It's just so… beautiful." She smirked with an evil twinkle in her blue eyes.
"You're pathetic." Ashley said jokingly.
"I just know that money is the only true perfection in the world. Many don't realize it and even the crinkled dollars are perfect." Karen said seductively and then looked over at Ashley and smirked.
"Next to me." A thick southern accent said.
Moments later the rest of Chaos walked out into the Living Room with towels around each of their necks. Mary-Lynn looked at the pile of money and then at Natalie and smirked. "I mean, we all know that though money is perfect, so am I." Mary-Lynn smirked as she carefully sat down in the small chair near the table and the couch where Ashley and Karen were seated.
"Where were you two?" Rashad asked harshly as he stood across from Ashley and Karen with the table of money in between them.
"Getting money for this month." Karen said plainly, as she looked over at Ashley as if saying 'duh' with her blue eyes.
"We had practice." Rashad bitterly.
"We didn't know." Ashley quickly said to defend Karen.
"How did you not know? Everyone else knew? I mean, even Mary-Lynn showed up for this one."
"Hey!" Mary-Lynn said as if she was offended. "Never mind. You're right. I'm never here for practices." She giggled as she pulled out her nail file and began to file her nails carefully; letting Ashley, Karen, and Rashad get back to bickering at each other.
"See?" Rashad huffed. "If Mary-Lynn knew and came then you two should have been here."
"Sorry we thought having money to eat was important." Karen rolled her eyes and shook her head in irritation, as she bit her tongue from saying anything else. "We'll be there next time."
The members of Chaos were all hardheaded in their own personal way, but Rashad was the most hardheaded of them all. In addition, every member knew not to argue with him for too long because you would become the focus of his anger for quite the while. Usually it was Lucas, but if any of the other members stepped out of line, they became his focus.
"You better be. No more screw ups." Rashad spat as he flopped down into another large chair across from Mary-Lynn.
"So, um," Natalie thought aloud to change the subject. "Where's Lucas?"
"Where else?" Mary-Lynn chuckled halfheartedly.
"Seeing his girlfriend." Rashad hissed.
"Is it wrong for him to be talking to the enemy?" Natalie asked in shock as she stared at Rashad in surprise that he let Lucas visit Sam.
"Even if I wanted to stop him, you think I could?" Rashad glared back at Natalie.
"No. I guess not." Natalie said as she looked down.
There was a long pause between all of them, where tension built between Karen and Ashley and Rashad. Natalie sat back cautiously to avoid the fire between the three, while Mary-Lynn ignored it all and concentrated on filing her nails.
"Well I already went over the plan of our "big job" with Lucas, so I think we're all free to talk about it without that annoying Scottish child." Rashad rolled his eyes.
Mary-Lynn snorted at the Rashad's comment. "Oh Rashad you know you love him." The only response Mary-Lynn got from Rashad was him glaring at her.
"Anyway. Moving on," Rashad hissed as he glared at Mary-Lynn. "We've been planning this job for the past couple weeks now."
Natalie sat down on the armrest of the chair that Mary-Lynn was seated in and sighed, while Karen slowly picked up some of the money off the floor and smirked at it. Perfection. Karen thought.
"You wanna pay attention, or drool over the money, Miss Prissy?" Rashad hissed at Karen who responded by glaring up at him.
Ashley sighed and spoke softly. "Karen just stop."
"Fine." Karen said bitterly as her blue eyes were locked on Rashad's brown eyes as she threw the money back onto the table and stood up. She walked over to Ashley and sat down next to him.
"Are we every going to get to the damn plan?" Mary-Lynn sighed as she finished filing her nails and looked up at Rashad.
Rashad stood up and walked over to behind the cabinet and pulled out a rolled piece of paper. The rest of Chaos, minus Lucas, exchanged glances with one another and then returned to looking back at Rashad. He walked over and stood in front of the table with money spread over it and unrolled the large paper in his hands. He flipped it over and pushed all the money off the table onto the floor, before laying down a large piece of paper across the table for everyone to look at. "These are the blueprints."
"Really?" Mary-Lynn said sarcastically. "We couldn't tell, thank you so much Rashad for clearing that up for us. What ever would we have done without yo–"
"Can it Mary-Lynn." Rashad hissed as he sat down and held the blueprint down.
"When did we get this?" Natalie asked in confusion as she stared down at Rashad.
"We went and got it last night." Karen sighed.
"Who's we?" Ashley asked as he looked around and when his green eyes caught Natalie's silver eyes he slightly blushed when Natalie softly smiled at him.
"Mary-Lynn, Rashad, and me." Karen sighed. "Enough with the questions."
"I have to agree with her," Rashad said in distaste. "Where, who, or how we got this blueprint doesn't matter. It just matters that we have it, alright?" Chaos slowly nodded their heads and refocused on the plan. "So here's the plan…"
