Yes... they are VERY bad girls... LOL! And the race is on!
Let's see who wins shall we?
Chapter13
"I hope you don't live to regret this Rose." Lissa said to Rose. "You could have just told him the truth."
"No, I couldn't have. Then he would've known what we're up to." Rose answered as they she drove home. As soon as she'd left Dimitri apartment, Rose called her friend back and put her on speakerphone.
Lissa couldn't help but snort in amusement. "Well, sorry to break it to you babe, but from what I'm seeing on Chris's computer, they're on to us anyway."
"Shit… Do you think they'll go after the same cars as us?"
"I would think so; they're the closest and easiest to get to from here. That's why I chose them."
"I'll be there in five." Rose said before pressing the end button. If the boys were onto them already, then she knew that Dimitri would be hot on her heels. He knew her love for the Mustang; he knew that it was the one car that Rose had to have and she was under no illusions that he would try to beat her to it, especially after what happened with the Stingray.
The thought made her press the accelerator pedal just that little bit harder.
Bad!
Within seconds of driving up to the rear of the workshop, Dimitri was out and striding through the door. "Have they left yet?" He yelled out when he finally walked into his office.
"Nah, Rose pulled into the apartment building a few minutes ago." Christian said as he walked in behind him with his computer, Adrian right behind him. Chris had hooked into the traffic system and watched as Rose drove into their underground parking garage. There were still some issues with his computer that he needed to work out but on the whole, he was ready to go.
"Is everyone here?" Dimitri asked Adrian.
"Not yet, but they're all on their way. Eddie can't make it though, Mia's gone into labour."
"Great timing…" he mumbled. He was happy for his friends, but he would have preferred to have Eddie with them that night.
"Somehow, I don't think Mia really planned to screw with your illegal activities, D…" Adrian smirked. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it up, pulling the calming nicotine into his lungs.
"Hmm… one would hope not. Do you have to smoke that here?"
"Yes."
"Are you two going to continue this?" Chris asked, slightly annoyed at their glib banter in the face of all the stress he was currently under, he didn't want to screw up again like last time. "If so, just let me know and I'll take this outside where I can concentrate."
The room was quiet for a few seconds at Dimitri and Adrian looked at each other. "Huh," Adrian said with a chuckle, "Looks like that root didn't improve his mood after all."
Dimitri laughed but something about Chris's demeanour had him thinking… "Is that still giving you issues?" He asked nodding to the laptop on Chris' lap.
"Yeah… I think I've got a Trojan."
Adrian choked on the pull of smoke he'd just pulled into his lungs… "Oh… I could say so many things right now." He said once he could breathe.
"Screw you." Chris said trying not to smile.
"No thanks… not if you only think you have a Trojan. I make sure I have plenty of Trojans on hand at all times…" Adrian replied wiggling his eyebrows as he pulled out a condom from his wallet.
"When did all the problems start?" Dimitri asked, shaking his head and trying to ignore the playful banter between the other two men.
"Ah… a few days ago. It's a tricky one though; no matter what I do, I can't seem to find the bastard. Well, that's not exactly true. I've found it a few times actually, I delete it but then it pops up somewhere else."
"After Lissa was at your place?" Dimitri asked.
Chris looked up from his laptop and narrowed his eyes at his friend, trying to work out if his sudden anger was at him or at himself when he realised Dimitri was probably right… He looked at his cousin who sat slouched in his chair, dragging on his smoke with a knowing smirk on his face and groaned… "She wouldn't have…"
"Are you absolutely sure about that, Cousin?" Adrian asked blowing a lungful of smoke into the air. Christian thought back to that night, what he could remember that is; he'd been fairly tanked that night and even though he remembered every second of being with Lissa, there were gaps in his memory… But then he smiled… The thought of being used sexually by Lissa of all people was something that actually tickled his fancy.
"Bloody minx." He mumbled with a chuckle under his breath. Now that this bit of information was brought to his attention, he thought he knew how better to find the source of all his problems…
Bad!
Lissa had spent the last hour going over everything that Rose needed to know concerning this boost, at a hundred miles an hour. For the first time, she wouldn't be there to back up her friend and that worried her. So, she went a little overboard in her plans.
"So, exactly how much coffee did you consume last night?" Rose asked. She come home to find Lissa bouncing off the walls and then when Lissa had tried to explain all of the things she needed to know to pull off this heist without her, she had to practically sit on her to calm her down.
"Too fucking much… now, just listen to me alright."
"Lissa… I've got it." She said placing her hand on top of her friend's. "You've explained everything, I've got it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes babe, I'm sure. What I want to know is, are you sure? We can forget about the Hemi and we can just go get Eleanor together… we'll still win."
"No, I'm sure… I'm excited actually. I can do this; I want to do this… I've got it all worked out in my head, step by step…" Lissa rambled.
"Liss!" Rose interrupted. "Breathe…"
"Right." She got up from her seat at the kitchen bench and brought her laptop over from the table. "I want to see what they're doing." She quickly brought up screen after screen, Rose didn't even bother to try and keep up, and then a screen that seemed to be a video, came to life. "Live streaming from traffic cams in the area." Lissa explained quickly.
Rose saw Dimitri's car at the back of his workshop at the same time as Lissa did and they turned to look at each other. "Either they've got very inconsiderate customers coming in at this time of the morning or they're ready to go too." Rose said.
"I'll go with option two." Liss said before she pulled up another screen. "Watch this… Chris tagged on pretty quickly that someone had hacked into his computer and he's tried everything to find the eyes I've got inside his mainframe, but unfortunately for him… he's forgotten to look in the one place he'll never be able to delete me from…"
"Where's that?"
"The battery."
"The battery? You put a virus in his battery? I didn't even know that was possible."
"Oh yes… I actually thought he would have remembered that by now but he hasn't… It wouldn't matter much anyway; the Trojan I put in there has a subcommand that attaches itself to different files every time he shuts the computer down. So, even if he gets rid of it out of the subdirectories, it's still in the battery and if he tries to change the battery, it'll reload to a file when he goes to shut the computer down and then reload when he boots up again… So he's fucked either way."
"Oh, you're mean." Rose said laughing.
"Let's see how mean I can get." Lissa smiled deviously. Rose watched enthusiastically as Lissa wormed her way into Christian's computer. She went into a file that she'd put in to track his keystrokes and smiled when she realised he'd had eyes on their apartment all night. Quickly Lissa started to record the front of her building, knowing she'd need it so they could slip away unnoticed and then went back to work. She got into the in-computer video camera settings and turned it on. Sure enough, there he was…
"I can't believe you didn't suspect her." They heard Adrian say in the background. The girls could only see Christian, but they were able to hear everyone that was in that room.
"Why would I?"
"Well, one reason would be that I'm pretty sure if it was anyone else fucking with laptop, they'd be in hospital by now… But in this case, you don't seem to mind." Rose looked up to her friend as she heard Dimitri's voice over the speaker and was happy to see Lissa's cheeks bloom into color.
"I don't, but now I know, I'll be ready for anything." Christian said calmly.
The girls could hear Adrian snickering in the background and Rose could just see him shaking his head. "I can't believe you left your computer and Lissa unattended in the same room together; you were just asking to be taken advantage of." Adrian said.
"Like I said, I don't mind…." Lissa smiled and bit her lip at Christian's admission. "I may just have to return the favour and take advantage of her, one day soon."
Oh, so they're onto the girls and Chris is loving that fact! LOL! I wonder what he'll do now?
Till tomorrow guys...
Sandy!
