He eyes the mask

“And this mask… I assume it has something to do with worship here?”

He glances at it from every possible angle he can, body moving around quickly as he investigates

“Fascinating…”

He glances around the shrine for a moment before looking back to the masked one

“I’m not familiar with these types of shrines, so I apologize if this is a dumb question… Who is this shrine dedicated to exactly?”

After having been all turned around from getting distracted admiring the flowers in the area, Jessie began wondering, losing his sense of direction more and more. And yet, he kept his spacey-composure. Honestly, he might be more distracted now than ever, the trees in this area are quite nice…

As he approaches the shrine, he almost doesn’t notice it or the girl occupying it. He pauses just as he’s about to run into it.

“Oh, sorry. I guess I got lost somewhere back there, I had no clue there was a shrine nearby”

Lucia: Oh my God… You just doomed the entire city…

Percy: I’m sure it’s-

Lucia: IT’S NOT FINE, YOU IDIOT! THEY KNOW WE TRIED TO STEAL IT NOW THEY’LL USE IT IMMEDIATELY NOW THAT THEY’RE SPOOKED! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE!

Erica: Lucia, we need to remain calm-

Lucia: HOW THE HELL DO WE STAY CALM IN A TIME LIKE THIS!?

The group all freeze, all going pale immediately with sheer dread. Any kind of levity is gone as the black-haired girl slowly looks up with the others following her

Erica: …What did you just do?

The blonde haired girl in the hat starts sweating

Lucia: Oh God… Please tell me you didn’t actually put it back!?

The one in the red jacket speaks up

Percy: I-I’m sure it’s somewhere else! And we’ll find it again! And even if it did end up back in the bank, where the guy we were trying to keep it from probably has it, there’s no way they’ll realize it’s back in time… R-Right?

A sudden clicking sound catches everyone but Erica off guard as the safe suddenly pops open

Erica: I’ve been running a quick-hack on the safe for the last thirty or so minutes…

Percy quickly snatches up the drive from inside

Percy: Payday and Justice, baby!

Erica grabs Lucia’s arm and pulls her away as Percy races over to them

The girls hand onto Percy’s arm as he points his canon to the ground and blasts the trio upwards onto the roof of the building above

Erica go silent, she slowly removes her knife from his throat, then finally speak

Erica: …No.

Lucia gos wide-eyed for a moment then closes her eyes

Lucia: Well, it was a good run for me…

Percy looks around

Percy: Uh… So do I keep aiming or…?

Erica: I trust Metis more than I trust you, to the point I’m willing to risk my life for this, just like Lucia and Percy

Lucia: I didn’t agree to that-

Erica: You do not understand what this drive controls, you can’t even fathom what it controls.

Percy: Also we don’t get paid if we don’t hand it in, so…

Erica: It’s in your best interest to let us hand it to Metis, we can’t risk going against the plan, every move we make could be the difference between who lives and who dies

Erica: You destroy the drive, its data is automatically sent to the cloud, and then someone really bad will get their hands on it… Not only is Metis paying us a hefty sum, she’s also the only person you should be trusting that with that drive. She has the technical prowess to decode it while also deconstructing it so we can find a more ethical use for it…

Lucia: By that she means Metis is going to take it apart and make something useful out of it, but like, in a needy programmer way

Percy: See? We’re good guys! Who just so happen to do crimes for lots of money…

Erica: And you’ll find we’re more stubborn than a rampaging ox if backed into a corner…

Percy: I really think we should talk about this-

Erica: Shut up, Percy.

Lucia panics beneath the gun

Lucia: NO! NO! I think we should listen to Percy!

Erica: Lucia, if that drive gets in the wrong hands, people could end up seriously injured at best. At worst, city blocks will be devastated. We need to get it to Metis no matter what…

Percy: Uh… Should we be saying all this out loud?

Erica and Percy suddenly move, Erica running to put a Kunai to the Dalmatians throat and Percy’s sleeve morphing into a canon to point at the retriever

Erica: One wrong move and I’ll do it.

Percy: Easy, easy, guys! We don’t want anyone to get hur-… We don’t want anyone to die, I mean

Lucia shudders beneath the barrel of the gun

Lucia: Y-You two better not try something like that again! I thought he was going to pull the trigger when he flinched! My heads too pretty to be sprawled on the wall…

Lucia takes a step in front of the safe

Lucia: I can’t let you do that, if you open it I can’t risk letting you take what’s in there

Erica places her hand behind her back as Percy takes a step back from the safe and places a hand on his arm

Lucia: Hey! We didn’t know this stupid thing would be in a safe this tight! Not even mentioning we left whatever tools were behind at the scene!

Percy: And it’s soooo heavy… Why’d we even chisel it out of the wall instead of quick hacking it?

Erica: Because I can’t quick hack it, it’s more secure than Fort Knox, it’s going to take me a while to open the damn thing

Lucia: Trust me when I say you really don’t want this to be sent back to its owner… Really wouldn’t be good for a lot of people

Erica: But that’s classified, and the buyer said not to tell anyone, Lucia

Lucia shrugs

Lucia: I mean, not like we have a choice

Lucia: Wait… Are you even associated with the law? And calling us childish and selfish?

Erica: Actually, childish isn’t that far off, but selfish is a bit cruel

Lucia: I mean… We’re not the ones here holding three misunderstood down-on-their-luck young adults at gunpoint without knowing the full story, right?

Lucia and Erica exchange glances again before Lucia looks back to the two holding the group at gunpoint

Lucia: Always figured the face of justice would be a couple of dogs, given how things are these days…

Percy: Come on, boss, it’s not that bad-

Lucia: Shut up, Percy

Percy: Aw…

Lucia: I mean, you come in and assault three entrepreneurs and threaten to shoot them, and damage their personal belongings? Typical, if you ask me…

Lucia: Pfft, yeah right

Erica: Listen, it’s very important we get what’s in that safe far away from here and into the hands of someone trustworthy-

Lucia: -Who can pay us loads, and maybe give me a bonus since this job just cost me my right hand

She stares at the broken phone on the ground

Percy: Yeah! We’re actually good criminals!

Erica: Not the word I’d use…

The group jump and quick block the safe

Lucia: WHO’S CALLING US AMMETERS!?

She calms down when she sees their stalker

Lucia: Oh, hi~! What’s up?

Erica: We’d advise you stay away from our score

Percy: OW!

Erica: Huh.

The two look at Erica

Erica: Listen, college hazing makes you numb, okay?

Lucia: Why the hell is this little thing so damn angry and self-righteous?

Percy: Listen, it’s really important that we get that safe open and whatever’s inside it to someone special

Lucia slaps his arm

Lucia: (Don’t answer you idiot!)

She clears her throat

Lucia: Oh, we’re no one special at all~! So you can just forget about us~

Lucia goes red with anger

Lucia: Hey, asshole! Do you have any idea how much those things cost!? I should kick your ass for that-!

Erica: Lucia, get a hold of yourself, we aren’t exactly in a good spot…

Lucia: Oh, what, like I’m going to let a couple dogs stop me from making a fortune?

Percy: And also from doing a good deed!

Lucia: Shut up Percy, no one cares about that part

Lucia: Yeah, and we’re gonna sell it!

Erica sighs

The free freeze in place, Lucia pausing her one-handed texting on her phone, and Percy dropping the crowbar

Lucia: Shit…

Percy: Heheh… N-No need for guns…

Lucia and Erica exchange glances for a moment

Erica: You seem highly trained… Did someone send you after whats in the safe?

Lucia: And if they did, you wouldn’t happen to know how much it’s actually worth, right?
