"Our team, team 1, Jeremy, myself, and Dermot will enter from the West side…Team 2, Thomas, and Natalie…you both will enter from the East Side of the building. On the East side, we have been monitoring them for a while and have found that they are lacking in security due to constant shift changes at certain times of the day. This is why we are carrying out this job after sundown….this is when they take the longest to change out their guards for the next round of shifts." Wesley looked at the table, at each of the team members sitting around the blueprint map of the warehouse that they would be entering tomorrow.
"Those on the West Side are going to be faced with a little more company. They have guards in windows of the warehouse at point A…and point B." Wesley pointed to the windows on the second and third story of the building. "As well as point C." He then pointed to the middle window on the third story. "Team 2 will need to get inside, and take out those guards so that we can get into the building as well. We only want to worry about what is happenin’ on the ground, not above, you see?" Once again, Wes’s eyes looked up, making sure everyone was listening before moving on.
"Once we’re inside, we only have 10 minutes to get in, confirm the bust, and get out before more company will arrive. Unless you want to arrive back home in a body bag, I suggest you work quickly with the evidence bags as well as the cameras provided. Since we are only a small team, we can only take what is on our persons and the rest will have to be torched. It’s important that when extractin' evidence you wear a glove and place it in the bag. Seal it properly before placing it in your backpack. And make sure everyone on your team is accounted for before we light the place up. Understand?"

Releasing the button, he then looked back towards the warehouse before whispering, "It looks like they are making the change now. Let’s go." He then moved to get up first, slowly creeping up before crouching and running towards the building. The twilight sky was getting darker by the second, and their all-black attire made it easier to blend in. When he made it, he pressed his back to the front of the building on the left side before slowly taking a step forward and shuffling towards the entrance. When no one was seen, he continued inside.
Once Natalie was inside the building as well, he pointed to the staircase to her right and they both hurried up it. "You take out the gunman on the second floor, I’ll take out the two on the third floor and we’ll meet back-" He didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence before he ran into something soft on the stairs. Or someone rather. "WHO THE FUCK-? Thomas rammed his rifle into the man’s chest before he could finish the sentence. "No guns!" He told Natalie, "Or it will let them all know we are here." Thomas dropped his rifle, pulled out his knife, and stabbed the man in the throat without a second thought. Thinking would have to wait, even as the man’s warm blood pooled around his fingers. He pulled the knife out and grabbed his rifle again, "Come on." He said to Natalie before continuing up the stairs, this time taking care to make sure no one else was coming down it, keeping his knife at hand as he strapped his rifle to his back.
Fortunately, no one came down the stairs after that. "Gunman, second floor. We’ll meet on the third. Use the distress tone on your walkie if you need me." Thomas said to Natalie his voice still hushed, looking at her before nodding his head, "Call in once it’s done!" Then he bounded off.

Normally, they were able to use some sort of surveillance for this stuff. But to keep things completely safe, they had to cut them all off…even the ones surrounding the building. None of the cameras were working. None of them would work until after they got the fuck out of there. Still, they were able to see out the windows of the vans, that only looked out one way and not in. To the outside world, the windows looked painted white, all except the front windshield which looked tinted black. Wesley was watching the warehouse from a distance. For any signs of extreme movement. "How long do you think it’s going to take them?" He asked out loud, to any one of the two men who were willing to answer. Wes couldn’t help it, he was fucking anxious. If this job went sideways and something happened to either one of them or anyone else in this van… the very first job? Welp, that would be the end of this whole operation now wouldn’t it?
Wesley tried to not look as anxious as he felt, but that was completely ruined when he saw the guards, who had all been busy with their shift change…alerted to something happening inside. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven of them ran inside the building without any other conversation and Wesley stood up from his seated position and looked to Jeremy and Dermot. If it had been one or two guards, maybe he would have let it roll off his shoulders, but seven? "I think we need to intervene," Wesley said, looking at Jeremy and Dermot.
"We can’t wait for them to take out the gunmen up above, what if there is somethin’ goin’ down in that building right now and they need our help?" He asked, "We could take them out ourselves. They just sent seven guys in there, there are only, what, 4 out here now. With the three up top, we can handle that." Wesley’s foot started to tap just a little bit against the van floor, anxious to make a decision but acknowledging he couldn’t just go in there guns blazing without getting consent from the rest of the team he was with. "What do you say?"

Train Station Landing
~ Somewhere in London ~
Dawson Rogers
~ Somewhere in London ~
Dawson Rogers
2 times, his train had been delayed. Dawson found himself to be a very, very patient man but this was just ridiculous. Here he was, hoping to catch a train to go just a short trip down to visit some historical site and now he was stuck reading the same public service announcement poster over and over again. How many friggin times can they warn you to wash your hands? Who doesn’t wash their hands? Making a face, the man looked down and away from the poster at the watch on his wrist, sighing once more. He was convinced that perhaps the train would just never show up. Maybe he should just get onto a different one? Raising his eyebrows, he suddenly latched onto that idea and realized that he had been foolish that he hadn’t thought about doing that sooner.
Maybe he was just tired, but had he really overlooked that option and just sat here the whole time, wasting his day to himself? Or maybe he was just getting old. Dawson then scrunched up his nose at that thought and shook his head. God, there is no way in hell he was getting old. At least not that old. Sure, he had a kid, sure he was a responsible adult with a job and he didn’t go out to clubs and all that but he could still have fun and do stuff.
Standing from where he was seated, he decided that whatever train was going to stop next. No matter where it was coming or going, he was just going to board it and see where it would take him. Because that was what the young, fun, Dawson used to do. Spontaneity and all. And who was to say he wasn’t still that person? He just needed to do it and see where it took him. As if on cue, ready to take center stage…a random train to god knows where pulled up, and with the utmost confidence in himself and his ability to just go for whatever life was going to throw at him, Dawson walked towards it, ready to board the train without looking back.
Of course, he didn’t factor in people who were getting off.
He hardly felt like bumping into someone with his shoulder like an animal. But when he saw a flash of red hair tip towards the floor, it caught his attention enough. "HOLY SHIT ARE YOU OKAY?!" He asked immediately, turning to see a lovely woman toppled on the ground. "God, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do that! Here, let me help you up!" He quickly moved to crouch down, holding out his hand for her to grab.
"I’m so sorry, miss, are you hurt?"
