Alex and Bernie tossed the sacks on the ground. You stretched yourself out on a leather couch, while Bernie paced around the room excitedly like a hyena fresh from a kill. Alex stood silently by the door looking outside. Ames folded her arms and stared daggers at you.
“Does anybody else think that heist was awesome?!” Bernie laughed. “I totally thought we would get busted by the police, but those fascist pigs were nowhere to be seen! I said to myself, ‘we could run into some trouble here’, or ‘I might have to go back to juvie for this’, but it was way easy! You know guys, we should really—”
The three of you hushed him. “Shut up! Do you want to wake up the whole neighborhood?” Alex cuffed him in the back of the head. “Keep your voice down.”
“I was just gonna say ‘we should really go there again, you know, because it was so easy.” Bernie whispered.
“So… how did it happen exactly?” Amie asked.
Alex shrugged his beefy shoulders. Bernie spoke up again:
“Well… Jake drove up to the security gates of Imaginetech. Since you gave us that girl’s employee badge, he checked it into the gate and opened it. Jake pulled up to the front dropoff point, that place with those large granite balls next to the entrance. Anyway, Alex and me walked through the fucking front door! The elevators weren’t working, but we used the stairs to get up to the R&D floor. The diagram of the place you gave us was excellent by the way, Ames, nice job. We thought the most valuable scratch was in R&D, so we cased the floor and then snatched the best-looking shit. Enough to fill these large burlap sacks anyways. We tried exiting the place using the southeast stairwell, but somebody (maintenance perhaps) manually locked the door.”
“That should not have happened.” Amie interrupted softly. “Why didn’t you retrace your steps and leave the way you came?”
Bernie raised his hands gently. “Hey… Alex said he thought he saw a shorter exit. We were already behind schedule because it took longer than we thought to break into one of the display screens. Anyway, we climbed out a window and then ran back to the car. We tossed in the sacks, got in the backseat and changed out of our heist gear. Jake drove us back here and that’s the story.”
Alex nodded. That was his way of confirming the story of the heist. When Alex nods, nothing more needs to be said.
There was one part that confused you, however. “If Imaginetech specializes in high-tech products and supplies other businesses with security devices, how was it so easy for you guys to break in?”
Amie already had an answer to that question. She replied, “Because that was my part. You remember that intern I was dating recently? Olivia Lawrence? She works… worked… at Imaginetech. After sleeping with her one night, I had her around my little finger. Asking for her employee badge was like taking candy from a baby. The real problem was getting her to de-encrypt and nullify the security system before leaving work one day. But…” Amie’s voice trailed off, as she bit her lip and smiled coyly. “I persuaded her to do it.”
“Uh, what if she squeals about you, Ames?” Alex grunted.
“If I get found out? Won’t happen.” She answered, having contemplated this herself. “My dear Olivia won’t talk about me unless she’s willing to reveal her relationship with me. She comes from a proud, Christian family; she’ll keep herself closeted for quite some time, and being fired from her job is probably a lesser punishment in her family’s eyes.”
“So I take it you won’t be seeing her anymore.” You added.
“She was nice, but I’ve had better.” Amie stated indifferently. “She served her purpose just like each of us did. Let’s change the subject… what did you guys nab?”
