16th June- Berlin, Germany
Warehouse
Letty's POV
I shifted my eyes to the corner of the room where Demetri was standing talking on a cell. Being in charge it didn't strike me as strange but I hated the way he had been leering at me since I got here. Turning back to my task I went to work services my car. It was pretty much ready to go but being the grease monkey I was I needed to make certain it was up to my standards.
"Bend over a little further baby, it turns me on to see you bent over a car." He breathed into my ear and I sneered as I straightened and turned to him.
"For starters don't call me that and second thing I'm here to work. If you want ass go find someone else." I spat at him. The rage burning in his eyes was almost frightening but I managed to hold myself together.
"You're here to work for me, you best do well to remember that." He snapped at me before he walked away. Once I was sure he was gone I let out a breath of relief. Ana, the other woman in the team, caught my eye from across the room. She gave me a small smile and I found myself returning it. We had spoken a few times since arriving, my gut feeling towards her telling me she was okay.
"He's kinda creepy isn't he?" She asked as she approached me and I nodded.
"Just a little." I scoffed leaning against the car, a spanner hanging loosely from my fingers.
"You look like you have this handled but do you need any help?" She asked hopefully. Though I didn't need the help I found myself nodding.
"Thanks that would be great." I spoke as she breathed a sigh of relief, sending me a proper smile.
"Thanks, I just don't have a particular talent here." She confided. It peaked my interest so as I handed her the spanner and showed her which bolts to tighten, I wondered why she was her. As far as I knew, based on my own experience, Carlos only hired people who had 'talents' as he called them.
"So what are you here for? If you don't mind me asking." I added not wanting to offend her.
"A bit of everything really. The big boss said something about being a jumper."
"Jumping trucks." I muttered in thought and she made a noise of agreement.
"I know we just met and we really don't know each other well, but can I ask you something Lia?" I nodded facing Ana as she spoke.
"This job, it seems more than a little on the dangerous side, I can't see this ending any good. Do you honestly believe this is going to turn out like they plan?" She asked. I bit my lip as I thought of my answer.
"No. I think it's going to be a lot harder as time goes on. Once the government or even the authorities get wind of the heists all hell will break loose. It'll only be a matter of time before we either get caught or killed." I spoke truthfully as Ana nodded slowly in agreement.
"I was afraid you'd say that." She laughed nervously.
"Well from one woman to another let's look out for each other." I suggested and she smiled relieved.
"Deal." She spoke as we shook hands.
18th June- Berlin, Germany
Military base
I waited, seated in a truck in the shadows just outside the military compound. It was eleven o'clock at night, even in the somewhat early hour I was finding it hard to keep my eyes open.
"We have movement." Gabriel spoke, snapping me out of my sleepy state. I sat up straighter as I peered out into the darkness. The trucks inside the base were starting up, bright lights from headlights lighting up the once dark area.
"What do you think they're hauling this time of night?" I wonder out loud.
"Probably the more expensive, banned weaponry. Probably why the boss wants us to hit at night." Gabriel spoke with a slight accent I couldn't quite place. Picking up the radio I hit the button, making the static disappear.
"We have movement. Engines are on, trucks look to be getting loaded and ready to go." I spoke clearly before releasing the button, letting the radio return to static once more.
"Received, stay where you are until they pass and then tail them from a distance. Lights off." Demetri spoke firmly. Pressing the side button once more I raised it to my mouth before speaking.
"Received and understood."
"Well too late to back out now." I breathed out to Gabriel as he let out a chuckle at my words.
"I'll try and get you as near to the truck as I can." He spoke and I nodded in appreciation.
"Thanks." I muttered as I leaned forward more, squinting as I saw the last large metal box being loaded into the back of one of the trucks. Soon enough the trucks started to move forward and the gates were opened. Gabriel and I both ducked and hid beneath the dash as the line of convoys passed by completely unaware. Our car wasn't out of place. The side of the road on either side both lined with empty cars that belonged to personnel.
The static on the radio suddenly disappeared and I held my breath hoping for no bad news.
"Convoys passed, you're free to go. Remember no lights and don't attack until the convoy splits into smaller groups. Lia and Gabriel you have the last truck, Ana and Christian have the previous one, Marco and Lukas the next one and TJ and I will take the final one. Stephan keep us up to date with the authorities movement." Demetri snapped over the radio. A chorus of 'understood' came through the radio before I spoke the same.
We drove behind the convoy for almost twenty minutes. It was almost at the point where we began to wonder if they were going to split. Just when Demetri was getting frustrated and about to call it off they split. We all waited a further five minutes as we followed our respective trucks.
"You ready?" Gabriel asked me as he switched gears about to speed up.
"About as ready as I'm ever going to be." I muttered as I got ready to climb out the window.
"Go." He spoke as I climbed out the window and onto the top of our roof, waiting for Gabriel to pull in real close to the truck.
"Here we go." I breathed out as I lined myself up as I made the jump.
