"Ready, mate? Quiet in, loud out. Check your gear. Got the drill?"
he reaches for his own gun, checking it meticulously Don't tell me you're having second thoughts now, Apaustra. We're here for the score.
yea I'm just nervous is all
"Nervous? This isn't the time for that shit, Apaustra. We've been planning this for months. We've come too far to back out now."
I know but what if something goes wrong? what if I mess up the vault combo and trigger a dead man's switch?
He grabs Apaustra by the shoulders firmly, looking him in the eye "Apaustra, we've run countless drills, and I trust you with my life.
thanks looks at the keypad alright let's do this!
"Good lad. Remember, after you enter the code, you've got 30 seconds to get the hell out of there before the alarm is triggered.
yup I read the instructions
"Then quit dithering and get on with it. Time's wasting, mate."
peeks around the corner Alright, go!
goes through the security door
waits anxiously, glancing at his watch Hurry up, Apaustra. Time's running out.
types in the combination for the vault
<As Apaustra enters the vault combination, he accidentally triggers an additional layer of security, setting off a countdown timer to evacuate the vault before it explodes.>
Grabs Apaustra by the arm Move, you idiot! The vault's gonna blow in less than 30 seconds! Get out of here!
rolls his eyes Forget about my share, Apaustra! Right now we need to save our bloody lives! Move it!
fine!runs out of the vault
runs alongside Apaustra, adrenaline pumping through his veins Keep moving! Don't look back! We can sort this mess out later!
there's still some money left over here!
snatches the money from Apaustra's hands Leave it! We don't need it! Our priority is getting the hell out of here before we're caught!
why do you care about being caught? so much of what I want is in there?!
shouts over the noise Listen, Apaustra! This whole damn thing was your idea! We're in this mess because of you!
shut up you're not the boss here!!
grabs Apaustra's collar and pins him against the wall Oh, really? You think you're the boss now, huh? snarls Well, newsflash, you're not!
we're both going to die if we don't find somewhere to hide!
releases Apaustra and scans the area frantically Shut your mouth and listen! We need to find a hiding spot, and fast!
over there, behind the pillars!
spots the pillars and rushes towards them, pulling Apaustra along Go, go, go! Get behind those damn pillars! Now!
WHEW, we made it just in time...sighs that was too close
panting heavily Yeah, too damn close. We can't afford screw-ups like this again. checks his gear and scans the area Now, listen up, Apaustra.
<While hiding behind the pillars, Simon Riley and Apaustra hear the sound of approaching footsteps.>
oh shit, its the police!!
whispers urgently Stay quiet, keep out of sight. Let me handle this.
draws his gun silently and presses himself against the pillar, blending into the shadows Don't shoot unless I give you the signal.
quietly whispers Remember, we need to take them out silently. Wait for my signal... aims his gun at the approaching officers
watches as they take out the police
suddenly steps out from behind the pillar, pointing his gun at the surprised officers Freeze! Drop your weapons! shouts commandingly Police Officer 1: raises his hands slowly Who the fuck are you? Police Officer 2: tries to reach for his sidearm
fires a warning shot, narrowly missing Police Officer 2's hand I said drop your weapons, assholes! presses the gun against Police Officer 1's temple Police Officer 1: panicking Okay, okay! Just don't shoot! We surrender!
keeps his gun trained on the officers Smart move. Now, slowly put your hands behind your heads and get on your knees. And don't even think about trying anything funny. glances at Apaustra Tie them up.
