"Dun dun dun dun dadadadaaaaaaa dadadadaaaaaaa"
"Amy we're currently hanging from an extremely thin rope thirty feet up a lift shaft and we have approximately half an hour to rob one of the richest guys on the planet, so can you quit singing the mission impossible theme tune and concentrate on keeping the lift from squashing us?" Beca ranted into her earpiece as she clambered up the wall.
There was radio silence for about ten seconds before Amy switched to the James Bond theme tune.
"You've got to admit, it does add to the atmosphere" stacie said as she leaped upwards catching on to the edge of a tension cable and pulling herself up.
"Yeah, shorty get with the vibe. We've got to have some kind of ambiance" Amy told her down the mic.
"Okay fine, which floor are we at?" Beca questioned secretly happy that Aubrey forced them to do cardio otherwise she would have dropped by now.
"Almost there, you're at 41 now so two more floors then you're at the vent" Amy told them before she went back to humming the tune.
"Great" beca panted climbing up some of the pipes attached to the wall "why do we always get the worst jobs" beca whined tiredly.
"Cause you wuuuuv a certain blonde and redhead" Jesse teased over the earpiece.
"Shut the fuck up Jesse" beca hissed quickly as she almost lost her footing.
"jeez relax, they haven't got their earpieces yet, remember you're supposed to give them to them at the penthouse" Jesse reminded her while beca sighed in relief.
"Oh yeah" she muttered climbing up a few more feet.
"Here we are" stacie said as she reached the vent " After you m'lady" stacie said with a wolffish grin. " I'm such a gentleman" she said to herself.
"Ha. Yeah right you just wanna stare at my ass" beca scoffed but climbed in anyway. She crawled for a few feet before stopping "left or right, Amy?" She questioned.
"Left then right then straight for three turns" amy told her and beca nodded repeating the instructions under her breath. "Move it Mitchell!" Stacie said punctuating the order with a slap to beca's ass.
"Oooooooh, I'm telling Aubrey you did that" Amy said into the earpiece "remember what happened when you snogged beca while drunk at that party ages ago" Amy reminded the group.
"Ughh, don't remind me" stacie shuddered "there's stick puke stains on my dress" she moaned.
"You know that's not her fault and she only puked because she was drunk" beca called back feeling defensive.
"Sorry we insulted one of your lady loves" Amy said jokingly "maybe if you'd make a move we wouldn't be seeing the green eyed monster as much" stacie suggested.
"We're here" beca said ignoring the suggestion, why would she make a move when she was pretty sure Chloe and Aubrey were with each other.
"The security guys are still here, where are Chloe and Aubrey with the distraction?" Beca questioned stacie who shrugged as they both peered through the vent into the penthouse.
As beca said this there was a knock on the door and they could here Chloe's cheery voice call 'housekeeping!'
The two armed men looked to each other with raised eyebrows and shrugged. "Come in" one called gruffly pulling out his weapon.
In walked Chloe and Aubrey both in the towers housekeeping uniform of short black dresses and white aprons. They both pulled out ID's and showed them to the guard who was to busy staring at Chloe's legs to check them properly. He then nodded before waving his hand around the room "yup go ahead" he said as his partner put his weapon back in it's holster.
Chloe picked up the bag of cleaning equipment she had brought and walked towards the room next to the vent stacie and beca were in. She glanced up and winked at beca before pretending to trip.
"Ouch!" Chloe cried convincingly and both guards turned towards her one rushed over and knelt to look at the foot she was cradling while the other stood feet away.
While the guard was busy looking at Chloe's foot Aubrey crept up behind the other and with deadly precision hit him on the side and the head knocking him out cold. He fell to the floor with a loud thump.
The other guard turned at the sound and before he could draw his gun Chloe had leaped up and delivered a well placed roundhouse kick to his head as she stood and he too was unconscious.
"You can come out now" Aubrey said looking at the vent while she picked up the first guards gun as Chloe did the same with the second.
The vent cover fell to the floor with a clang and stacie and beca slid out. "You'd think they would use something stronger to hold the vents in place, have these people never seen a movie?" Stacie questioned poking the unconscious guard with her toe.
"Who knows, I think they get stupider each time. They didn't even bother to glance at the picture on the ID's. Do I look like a Jeremy to you?" Aubrey said tossing the ID on the table.
"I know right let's tie them up then, beca where's the rope?" Stacie asked beca but got no response "beca, hello yoo hoo" stacie waved her hand In front of beca's face snapping her out of the trance.
"Hmm, what. Oh yeah" beca said distractedly before snapping her eyes away from Aubrey's legs and rummaging through her bags missing the smirk Aubrey shared with Chloe.
"Thanks becs" Chloe husked as she bent over to retrieve to rope showing beca generous amount of cleavage. Beca nodded absently before darting her eyes up to the ceiling.
"Umm guys, where is the safe?" Stacie questioned from where she was looking around the room. " It must be hidden somewhere otherwise they would have used it in the case for tax evasion" Aubrey guessed as she and Chloe finished tying up the guards.
"Okay, so we know it's here so we've just got to find it" beca said looking around " if you were a douchebag tax evader" beca question looking around "with a flair for dramatics" she said noticing the statues and paintings that decorated the apartment and the inspiring quotes painted on the walls " where would you hide millions of dollars".
"Any ideas guys" she said into the mic "try a loose floorboard" Donald suggested.
"Nope the whole apartment is carpet or flagstone" stacie said after checking the rooms.
"How about behind a painting" Jesse offered.
The group all turned to look around the apartment before zeroing in on a conveniently placed six foot wide, four foot tall painting of the New York skyline. Aubrey and stacie walked towards it and pulled it off the wall. Behind it was the large silver safe that they were looking for.
"Nice one Jess, trust you to go for the most cliche place in the apartment" beca laughed " well it worked didn't it, this is why you should watch movies" beca rolled her eyes before pulling out Emily's device from her bag and used the drill Aubrey had brought in the cleaning bag to drill into the keypad of the safe and pull out the two wires Emily had told her about and attached them to the ones on the phone.
"Is Emily there Amy?" She asked once she had followed Emily's previous instructions. "One second, she's watching the new series of orange is the new black" Amy said before calling Emily over.
"What the hell" she heard Chloe say "we told her she couldn't watch before us after she spoiled the last series" Chloe huffed before grabbing her earpiece and putting it on.
"Hey guys, what you doing?" Emily questioned putting on an earpiece
"Nothing much just robbing some billionaire, you?" Stacie said "oh yeah" Emily giggled "I forgot about that, it's just Piper and Alex drama makes me zone out" she sighed.
"Hey Emily" she heard Benji say on the earpiece before he was interrupted by Chloe "how could you betray us like this Emily, I thought we were going to watch together I can't believe you would do this again! Don't you remember what happened last-"
"Uh Chloe, the heist" beca said
"This isn't over Emily" Chloe said into her earpiece before muting it.
"Right so Emily its all hooked up to the safe, what now?" Beca questioned. "Um just call this number on the phone and that should trigger the hacking sequence" Emily said before reciting a number to beca. "Now once the screen says complete the safe should open, it will be around three minutes though" Emily told her.
After entering the code beca walked to where Chloe was ranting to Aubrey and stacie about her betrayal.
"Here you go guys she said handing Aubrey and Chloe each a pair of black jeans and black t- shirts with leather jackets and gave stacie her own jacket. "You'll need them for the bikes" she said.
Aubrey and Chloe changed quickly and stuffed the housekeeping outfits in the bags.
A tap on the window made them all look up at Jesse standing in the window cleaners basket grinning at them. Stacie and Aubrey walked to the window and applied some of Emily's paste into the supports of the windows and soon enough they dissolved with jesse's help from the outside they pulled the window pane of and laid it down on the floor.
"Nice entrance" stacie remarked as Jesse hopped of the basket and into the apartment. "Thanks" he grinned before tripping over slightly.
At that moment beca shouted from across the room " it's finished help me load up" she said tossing a duffle bag to each of the group and beginning to place the money in the bags.
"Fucking bitches!" They heard spat from across the room as they saw a guard had woken up and begun struggling in his binds.
"Rude" stacie muttered while he shouted "you won't get away with this" he screamed.
"Wow these guys are always so cliché" beca said shaking her head.
"We're being relieved but the afternoon team soon anyway" the guard said looking at the clock he smirked "they should be hear any minute"
The groups eyes widen as they hear the lift pulling up to their floor "Amy jam the lift doors" Aubrey says into her earpiece.
"It won't last long" Amy tells them " they can open it manually" at this beca hears the other team begin to prise the doors open.
"I've sent it down to the ground floor" Amy says but they're using the stairs now she tells them using the cctv.
"Gag him" beca says to Chloe gesturing to the guard as she loads one of the full bags into the window washers basket. "Load up the rest guys" she tells Aubrey and stacie before grabbing the unconscious guard and dragging him into the bedroom and stuffing him in a cupboard. Jesse walks in behind her with the conscious guard and they shut him in too.
"That should buy us some time" she says running back into the room to see the others have loaded all the bags and replaced the painting.
"Let's get out of here" Aubrey says as beca grabs the device Emily made for the safe and she, Chloe and stacie get into the basket grabbing a bag and placing it on themselves. Aubrey pulls out a tube of the adhesive Emily had made and squeezes it onto the window pane.
She and Jesse lift up the window and step onto the basket while placing the window back on the pane. Lucky Emily's special adhesive was instant acting they quickly. Stepped back and beca began lowering the basket just as they heard the new guards enter the apartment.
"We have approximately two minutes until they find that guard, he saw the basket so they'll be on us quick" Chloe told them.
"Escape plan two" beca suggests to the group knowing this would be the best way and they all agree.
"The bikes are in the ally across the street" they hear Benji tell them as the get closer to the ground.
"Thanks Benji" stacie says as the basket stops abruptly.
"Why have you stopped?" Aubrey asked beca. "Shit, it doesn't go any further." Beca told them they were still around six foot of the ground.
"Guys, look who woke up" Chloe says they look upwards and can make out three figures standing in the window of the penthouse.
"We're gonna have to jump" Aubrey says looking downwards. "Quick guys" she says before leaping down from the basket gracefully landing with her knees bent. Jesse follows making the landing but stumbling slightly.
Chloe, stacie and beca throw down their duffle bags which Jesse and Aubrey catch. Chloe lowers herself down so she's sitting before dropping down as does stacie. Beca groans before following and as she lands her ankle twists and she feels a sharp pain in her foot.
"I'm fine let's go" she grits shrugging of Chloe and Aubrey's look of concern as they run towards the alley some limping rather than running.
"Bagsy silver" Jesse says putting on his helmet which Benji and bumper had left in a nearby dumpster and handing one of the three bags to Chloe who has taken the red bike.
"This is not the time for childish things like what colour bike we want" Aubrey chides but grabs the green helmet anyway as its her favourite colour. She takes a bag from Stacy before getting on the green bike.
"Hypocrite" beca coughs climbing on the blue bike with her bag as stacie gets on the yellow.
"Everyone know the plan?" Aubrey questioned and was given a chorus of 'yes'. "Well then let's go" she says starting her engine as they hear sirens close by.
They all charge out of he alley as Jesse shouts " FOR CAMELOT" at he top of his voice.
