A/N Anyone any idea how to progress slowly without describing every night they watch tv on the couch together, lemme know. I mean, I can always let one of them get shot.. but.. .you know.

Previously:

She waited until they were all in the briefing room, enjoying their cake.

"Gentleman, we're going to rob a bank." They all stopped eating and looked at her with confused faces.

…

"What?" Jimmy looked at Donna.

"We're going to rob a bank and team one is going to try and stop us. Of course, they will fail." She grabbed some schematics from her bag while Donna closed the room off.

She explained everything, from what they would be wearing to when it was going to happen. They even went through the plans from entry to exit. Everything was well planned, they just had to buy the clothes and wait for the day to come. They couldn't rehearse it because they were afraid team one would find out. They had decided on telling the hostages they were cops, so they wouldn't be traumatized.

The rest of the nightshift was boring, they had worked out some more and talked about their plans. Just 10 more days, they would do it next Thursday.

…

It was Friday, Greg just exited Holleran's office. Zoë was sure he told him one of their calls next week was going to be a training. He walked towards Donna, he did not look happy. Zoë looked from where she was spinning. She did not want to be close. She noticed them talk for a while before Greg walked away and Donna walked towards her.

"So, your boyfriend isn't happy."

"Did you tell him it was me?"

"No, he can be mad at me all he wants. I don't care." Zoë smiled.

"Thanks. It's still a go?"

"Yeah, he'll get over it."

…

"I got called into Holleran's office today." Oh no, he was bringing it up.

"Yeah, I noticed." They were watching TV.

"Apparently your team is going to test mine out in the field sometime next week. Know more about that?"

"Yes. I do."

"Want to tell me about it."

"Yeah, I want too but I can't."

"When is it going to happen?"

"Sometime next week. Greg, I would love to tell you but I can't." He nodded.

…

Her alarm on Saturday went off at 9, they were going to run later from now on. Greg wanted to sleep past six twice a week, she couldn't blame him.

"Feel like going running with me, Clark and Ed?"

"I don't know, you're in way better shape than I am."

"Come on, it'll be good. We get breakfast on the way back."

"I will come with you starting next Saturday, okay?" She nodded.

"Looking forward to it." She kissed him on his cheek before getting up.

…

Ed had convinced Greg that this training exercise could be fun. It was more like the real deal without much of the danger. Greg wasn't too happy about it in the beginning, but a week had passed and he had calmed down about it.

The bank manager knew they were going to do it sometime today, he had told the security guards so they wouldn't shoot them. They had each brought laser pointers. They would disable the camera's view. There were four camera's in the bank. Zoë would enter last and they would start. They were all in place, none of their faces were registered by the camera. Zoë entered and closed the door behind her. Everyone turned on their laser pointers.

"We are police." She showed her badge. "There is now a training exercise in progress. We need you to act like real hostages with fear of their lives. My colleagues will walk past you with a bag. Please put any means of communication you've got with you into them. You will get them back when this is over. The other team handling this robbery won't know it's an exercise until they ID us, so we don't want this posted on twitter." She walked towards an employee and read her nametag. "Rose," She handed Rose a prepaid cell phone. "Please call 9-1-1, say there is a bank robbery in progress and that you need SRU. But use a hushed voice." She nodded and grabbed the phone.

"9-1-1, what's your emergency." She couldn't call SRU directly, they would know it's a training.

"My name is Rose, there is a bank robbery in progress. There are hostages at king street west." Zoë then took the phone and hung up, the operator tried to call back but Zoë put the phone in the bag with the others.

"Good job. Now, let's get this show on the road. We've got 5 to 10 minutes until party time. Let's make this look like a real robbery folks."

…

"Team one, hot call. Bank robbery in progress king street west. Multiple hostages, that's all we know."

"Gear up. Let's go see if this is our fake call." Greg had been saying that every call that week.

"I hope it is, I'm getting sick of you saying it." Wordy said.

…

Donna had put Zoë in charge, she was the one who prepared it after all. "Jimmy, close all the blinds. Donna, get our dear friends to lay on their stomachs with their hands on the back of their heads." She looked around. "Let's put our masks on for the camera they're going to put in between that open window." They all put on their masks. "Everyone clear?" They nodded. "Bluetooth in, we can't use the radio." She put in a conference call and invited her team. "Can everyone hear me?" She heard six voices with variations in answers so that was good.

"Alpha, go to the basement and do your thing. Beta, go get the bank manager and do your thing." She was now alone in the big bank. "Now all there's left to do is wait. Hostages, are you all okay like this? They all nodded. Anyone who needs to take his medicine somewhere in the next hour?" One man raised his hand. "What time?"

"I need to take it at three." Zoë checked her watch.

"Let's get you out of here by then."

"Alpha 1, TNT in place."

"Good, Alpha join Beta. We should be almost done by the time they get here."

…

They arrived at the scene, it was filled with police. All blinds were closed. They exited their vehicles.

"Spike, tap into their security. Get us some picture from before the call." Spike got in the truck. Greg turned towards Ed. "Get our own camera in, a smart robber will disable the others.." He then grabbed the megaphone.

"This is Sergeant Parker. I'm with the Police SRU, we'll be calling the bank phone in a minute. Please pick up so we can talk."

…

"Alpha, Beta, team one on scene. How are you doing?" Zoë asked them.

"Almost ready, just loading it up."

"Good. I'll keep them busy."

…

"Boss, snake camera in. We've got picture." Spike told him. "Still working on the video, entering the codes now." Greg walked towards the truck and entered it.

"That the picture?" Spike nodded. "So we've got hostages lying on the ground, and one robber wearing a mask. Still don't know who they are. Let's give them a call."

…

Zoë had the voice-distorter in hand. She knew any of them would be recognized immediately. She waited for the phone to ring.

"This is sergeant Parker, am I speaking to the person in charge?"

"You are." Her voice was morphed, hopefully enough for him not to recognize it.

"Is everyone inside doing ok?"

"For now. I want you to get me a helicopter."

"A helicopter?"

"That's how it works, right? I demand something from you."

"And I ask you for something in return. What can you give me?"

"I can give you one of the camera's back." Greg looked towards Spike, he nodded.

"Ok, give me a camera back and I'll start working on that helicopter." Zoë kicked one of the laser pointers away, giving him footage of the hostages.

"You got 10 minutes." She hang the phone up. "They will have a mic in here in 10 seconds. How are you guys doing?"

"Almost done. Give us 5 minutes before we blow it." Jimmy answered.

"Copy." She waited around. "Everyone okay?" They all nodded. She checked her watch a quarter to three. Time go get the man out who needs to take his medication. The phone rang.

"I'm still working on that helicopter, can you tell me your name."

"Jackie."

"Okay, Jackie. I spoke to my bosses and we need a little more for a helicopter."

"What about a hostage?"

"Hostage sounds good. Can you bring him to the front door, so my guy can get him?"

"No, he can go through the window you guys put your camera in."

…

"Boss." It was Spike.

"I have to ask my boss, I will call you back, Jackie." He hung up the phone. Spike rewound the footage.

"It's them. This is Jimmy." He pointed at someone. "Donna." He pointed at her. "And then Zoë comes in." He pointed. "All the camera's go useless from there. Except this one." He pointed to one of the screens. "You can see in the corner of it. Zoë's showing her badge." Greg nodded.

"Good job Spike. Okay team, new deal. Paint and less lethal only, we've got team two on scene. Let's keep this real." He picked up the phone again. "Spike, only Zoë's there, let's find out where the rest is." He waited for Zoë to pick up the phone.

…

"You got me my helicopter?"

"I'm going to be honest with you," She knew he made her. "I'm not sure that's going to work out." She looked into the camera. "You lied to me, Zoë." She smiled and put the voice distorter away.

"You still want that hostage?"

"You want to give him to us?"

"He needs his medication and I don't want a mess."

"Okay, we'll take him. Bring him to the front door."

"Fine, but if you don't keep your distance I will shoot one of your guys." She showed her rubber-bullet gun.

"Okay, we'll keep our distance." She hung up the phone.

"Sir, come on. Let's get you to outside." She helped him up. "Rose, can you come with me as well?" She nodded and got up. "I'm going to grab you around your neck, so they don't storm us. Okay?" Rose nodded. Zoë grabbed her around the neck and told the man to walk to the door. She handed Rose the keys and asked her to unlock the door. Zoë kept an eye on the guys from team one. When she saw Ed move closer she shot 5 rubber bullets on his upper leg. Making sure he wouldn't come any closer. Those things hurt pretty bad. "Your guys didn't keep their distance Parker!" She shouted before walking back in. She locked the door and let Rose go. "You okay?" She nodded. "Go lie down again."

"Alpha and Beta ready, moving to basement."

"Copy. Stalling them here. Wait for my go. Leave without me and follow the plan. I will hold them off and try to follow if they don't arrest me."

The phone rang a minute later.

"I'm not happy with you shooting my guy."

"You said they wouldn't come closer, I told you I would shoot them if they did. So either you lied to me, or the bald guy went rogue. Now how about that helicopter."

"That's not going to work out. How about a car, how many people do you have with you?"

"4, so a car will be just fine."

"Are you lying to me again?"

"Yes. Get me a car, park it at the back entrance. You got 2 minutes. Tick tock." She hung up.

…

"You think they are all there?" Greg asked Spike.

"I think so. But they're not exiting the back she wouldn't let you park there." He nodded.

"Find out what other way they can exit." He turned his com on. "Be ready for aggressive entry in two minutes. She gave us two so she's going to be out of there in five."

"Copy, boss."

…

"Alpha, Beta, ready?"

"Ready."

"There is going to be a controlled blast, nothing to worry about." She told the hostages. "Go." There was a loud noise.

…

"Boss?" It was Ed.

"Immediate entry."

"Aggressive entry go. " The burst through the window. "POLICE! Show me your hands" Only hostages. "Jules take care of the hostages. Sam, Wordy in pursuit of the subject with me." They could see Zoë just taking a turn at the end of the hall.

…

"Blast complete. Moving out."

"Dump your clothing and continue the plan. I'll try to follow." She knew they would enter so she walked down the hall towards the stairs. She took her time, wanting to give her team the chance to get away. She could her team one yelling in the background.

"POLICE! Show me your hands." The yelling came closer. She was just about to enter the stairwell when one of them fired a rubber bullet on the wall beside her. "FREEZE!" She stopped. "Drop your gun and put your hands up where we can see them." Ed said.

Zoë did as she was told, she did not want a rubber bullet in her back. After those bullets she fired at Ed she was sure they weren't going to use paint. Ed walked towards her and smashed her into the wall.

"Sam, Wordy, she was headed for the basement. Go take in the rest." Sam and Wordy descended the stairs. "Hands on the wall." Ed demanded. He smashed her in it again when she waited a second. He did a quick search for any other weapons and grabbed his cuffs. He put them on tight and turned her around.

"A little tight on the cuffs, pig." He smashed her into the wall again. She smiled at him, she got to cal him bald guy and pig and shoot him in one day. This was a good day.

"Where's the rest of your buddies?"

"Gone. With approximately 1 million dollars." She smiled at him. "How's your leg."

"A little sore."

"Ed, they're gone. They blasted a hole into the wall, it exits in the subway. No sight of them. We're coming back."

He took her by her arm and walked her out into the bank. "Think I should uncuff you? Or let the media see you?"

"I don't know. Maybe you should uncuff me." Greg walked towards them.

"Where is the rest?"

"Gone, with a million dollars." Ed answered.

"They'll be back here in a couple of minutes." She looked at him, damn did she love seeing him in uniform. "Can you remove my cuffs?" Greg looked at Ed.

"I don't know, what do you think, Constable Lane?"

"I think she's a flight risk."

"Let's keep them on then." Greg said. Ed grabbed her arm roughly again and walked her out.

…

They were leaning against the car when her team walked towards them with the bank manager, he needed to stay with the money.

"Congratulations, you robbed the bank." Greg told Donna.

"Feels good."

"We play to win." Zoë said, still cuffed. She was about to walk towards them when Ed pushed her back against the car, hard. "Stop doing that."

"You shot me. Those things hurt."

"Be glad I didn't aim them a little higher and to the right."

"Let's get the money back into the vault." Greg interrupted them.

…

Both teams were sitting in the briefing room.

"Can you uncuff me now?" Greg and Ed shook their heads. The rest had mercy and wanted to uncuff her an hour ago. "Come on guys."

"No, you lied to me and shot him. You're staying in them until we think you've suffered enough." Greg answered. Zoë sighed. "How about we all go home?" Everyone nodded. Zoë followed Greg into the elevator.

"If only I'd known you were into this."

"The handcuffs? Yeah, they look good on you."

They elevator dinged.

"I'll take them off when we get home, maybe." They got into the car.

"Fine, can you fasten my seatbelt. My hands are kinda stuck." He smiled and fastened her seatbelt. "You're not mad, right?"

"Not really, but I must say. You are the hottest bank robber I've ever seen." He kissed her before starting the car.

A/N Hope you liked the robbery, and I did it justice. :)

Review, please? I know about 40-60 of you are out there reading it. So you can review, right?
