The Heist

[crypddyd]

They had been investigating for weeks, planning and setting up for what seemed like forever. But now was the time for everything to go into action. One team dressed up and settled into various undercover positions in the casino- including Lion himself over at the slots, in case he needed to call Greta and let her know someone was calling her out. Though hopefully, word of mouth would find her first.

Another at the bank, Mona using her Executor weapon to prove they could break-in at any time. It was all or nothing now- either way Greta was about to learn there were way more Executors than she previously assumed.

That is, if the Executors were right in their assumptions. But after last time who knows what might happen...

Miss Phantom looks up from where she is, rather understandably, cradling her free-bleeding wound and heaving out sobs of shock and pain. Her eyes are wide with agony and dismay and as soon as Sword says the words it's empty, she surges forward as far as her feet will take her and swoons to her knees.

"It can't– can't be empty!" she splutters. "Let me inside– you have to let me see!"

[swordofajerk]

"We really don't. You just tried to kill us, we don't have to do shit."

[discutio]

"She can do as she likes from here. Stay in an empty vault or leave for all I care, we have to see to getting out of here before this gets even messier."

[cancrymods]

Speaking of getting messier...

Do you feel something rumbling underfoot?

[discutio]

"...Either someone in this plan's actually successful or we set off a building collapse. Either way, perhaps this is not the best place to stand right now."

[cancrymods]

That's a good call as well – Phoenix may be able to tell that something is going on, but Wolfsbane and Sword will very quickly be able to see that the hallway has suddenly started to get narrower.

Why look at that. The walls are starting to close in.

[emberserker]

Wolfsbane snaps something in a foreign language (whatever it is, it's probably cursing) and starts running down the hall.

"They're closing in the walls. Everyone, move out!"

[swordofajerk]

"For fuck's--" Sword starts off after Wolfsbane. "Either get up and run or stay there and get killed!" Maybe someone else would try and grab the woman and run with her, but Sword is not inclined to be slowed down by a traitorous bitch like that.

[discutio]

Phoenix certainly wasn't about to grab her either, following just behind the pair of his fellow Executors himself.

This day was not going all that great.

[cancrymods]

The walls ease in gradually, slow enough for an Executor to escape but perhaps not a Specter.

And certainly not a Specter already slowed down by an injury.

But the curious thing is... when Miss Phantom climbs to her feet, she heads in the opposite direction. Back towards the vault. Even though she's still bleeding all over the place, if the Executors care to glance back at all as they make their escape, they'll see her scrabbling to pull herself into the hole blasted into Vault #0's door.

I'll leave what happens after to your imagination.

[emberserker]

Wolfsbane certainly isn't going to be visibly disturbed by this. Well, not right now. They've got an escape to make. She forces down a shudder and runs forward back the way they came.

"I should hope the place isn't going to keep trying to kill us!"

[discutio]

“Just worry about getting outside and we’ll deal with the rest afterwards!”

One, two, three sets of running footfalls—so she hadn’t followed them. Very well, if that was her choice, then...

...He had more important things to think about than the brief and fleeting twinge of something akin to guilt. Later, perhaps.
