"This is Detective Lurman with the GCPD! Pull over!."
"He became a cop just to spite us," Drew growled snapping shut a panel on whatever contraption he was haphazardly creating. Shego blew a stray strand of hair out of her face, glancing at him briefly before she quickly swerved their getaway car to the right, expertly avoiding another set of cop cars that had appeared. The sirens of the now ten patrol cars were blaring.
"Is that thing ready yet?" she snapped at him, stepping on the gas.
"Nrrrgghh" was his only reply, as he started wiring the strange orb into his immobilizer ray.
"Patience is a virtue, boss." He snarked at her, as she took another sharp turn trying to lose the cops behind them, only to find a barricade of cop cars was blocking their exit fifteen blocks ahead.
"Not right now it isn't Lipsky!"
A small sound emitted from the machine he was holding.
"Desist immediately!" The Detective screamed at them from his bullhorn.
They were getting far too close to the barricade, for the first time in six years, Shego worried that they might just get caught.
"Drew!"
Growling her assistant reached behind into the back seat and pulled out his own bull horn, grabbing his ray gun and unbuckling his seat belt as he stood on the passenger seat to stick his upper body out of the sunroof.
"What are you doing?"
He ignored her, and aimed the immobilizer ray at the barricade…
The small orb turned blue and Lipsky fired.
For the briefest of moments it seemed like nothing happened, and then to Shego's surprise, the cop cars and the cement barricade in front of them began to rise. Floating up in the air. The cops were shouting.
They passed under the slowly rising barrier without issue. And through the rearview mirror, Shego saw another beam of light hit the floating debris. Witnessing it come crashing down, blocking their pursuers.
Lurman was screaming obscenities.
All the while Drew was laughing insanely into the bullhorn.
The whole sitch was far too ridiculous, and Shego couldn't help but grin.
Drew threw the ray gun into the back of their car before dropping back into his seat. Running his hands through his hair he flashed her a large smile, before buckling himself back in.
"That was cutting it a bit close don't you think?" Shego lightly scolded him.
His smile widened, "You loved it, just admit it."
Shego rolled her eyes and changed the subject ," What is that thing that you built anyway?"
"Oh it's just a rewired immobilizer ray, see, with the components that i had from…"
"English, Drew, not nerdlinger techno-babble."
"Nrrrgh," he whined, "i made an anti-grav beam."
"Really?" Shego asked looking off the road towards him.
Drew nodded, "Yep, not a really good one, admittedly but, with the diamonds that we snatched, I'm sure i can get the right equipment to really improve on the design."
Shego rolled her eyes again, this time irritated, "Newsflash genius, we didn't get any diamonds because Discount-Cop decided to try to get the drop on us."
Lipsky's obscenely large smile seemed to get even wider if that was possible.
"Oh really? Then what are these?" And with the flare of an out-of-work magician, Drew reached back to grab his black duffel bag and opened it.
Shego slammed on the brakes hard.
Inside were about 200 diamonds, glittering wonderfully in the afternoon sun.
"Ow! Hey, Watch it Shego!" Drew snapped, as his seatbelt locked itself, choking him in response to her sudden stop.
Shego stared at him in shock.
"How did you?"
"Get them?" he finished smugly. She shot him an unamused glance.
"Well remember these little babies? He pulled out five of his ridiculous lil' diablo toys.
Shego glared at him, remembering that she had ordered him to stop working on them. At the look she gave him Lipsky at least had the decency to look sheepish.
"Well," he coughed awkwardly, "I got them to work finally… and when we first broke in, i set them loose to open the next vault over. They finished faster than we did and were back in my bag before rent-a-cop Lurman showed up."
Drew gently probed the little red toy with a finger and a small panel popped out.
"I know it's not the amount we wanted," Drew murmured shaking the toy about. And out flew into his outstretched palm a reasonably large emerald, the green jewel catching the dying light just right.
"but, I hope this makes up for it." Drew shrugged with a smile, "Happy Birthday."
"That'll do Drew, that'll do." Shego smiled in return and took it from him, starting the car up again.
Leaning back into the seat Drew rested his arms behind his head, "Where to boss?"
"Apparently, we've been hired to teach some billionaire's kid the proper way to pull a heist."
"Sounds like a great time."
