Aaron steps out of the car at his cabin with his dad’s best man and long time friend, James.  The two of them rush inside to escape the bitter, snow filled air, only to be greeted by a woman screaming something neither of them could quite make out as they walked through the front door.  The only words Aaron was able to understand were something about the baby and something was too dangerous.  As James took the woman to the other room to calm her down, Aaron dumped the contents of the bag onto the kitchen table and started dividing out the shares of cash.  As James gets back to the kitchen, Aaron slides him a stack of cash then shakes his head.

“Man, this shit ain’t gonna cut it much longer.  Dad died and left me with all his problems to resolve, a baby sister to take care of, and a set of guns to do it with.  By the time I get everyone paid off it just ain’t enough.  Damn grocery stores don’t keep as much cash as they used to.  We need something bigger.”

James looks up at him, pocketing his share of the cash.  “You could fire that psychotic nanny in there.”   Aaron looks at him and laughs a bit.

“I couldn’t do that if I had to.  She’s the only one I can find who’s that good with little Ana, and doesn’t have a holier than thou attitude towards how she’s getting paid.  No, I need to find something big, something fresh.”

Looking down at the newspaper, Aaron sees it.  Right there on the front page.

Local casino under new ownership!

“That’s it!  James, we’re going to hit the casino.”

James looks on at Aaron in utter disbelief, then busts up laughing.  “Good joke man!  Hit the casino.  You’d have to be half crazy and totally desper...oh shit...you’re serious?  You can’t do that man, the planning alone will take ages, we don’t have that kinda time.”

“What planning?  I got the plan laid out, it’s simple, we walk in, blow the vault, fill the bags, walk out, drive off, and shoot whoever the fuck gets in our way.  Simple right?”

“We can’t do that on our own man, we need people, someone to keep the car running at least, and what the hell do you know about explosives?  Shit, you make it sound that simple, just like your old man for sure.  Ok, give me a couple days to call some people, maybe some of your dad’s old friends might know some people who’d be up for something like this.  You know if we get caught it ain’t the cops you’ll be dealing with right?  These people who run the casino’s now, they’re like gods.  Snap of their finger and you’re all but forgotten.

“Then I’ll wear a disguise...maybe make them think Abe Lincoln robbed them, I don’t know.  I gotta go feed Ana.  You know the hotel in town, where you picked Jacob up for me?  Well, that room is still there.  Just let me go smooth some things over with it’s current resident, you make your calls, have whoever is interested meet me there in three days ok?”

Aaron heads to the living room and picks up his little sister, getting her ready to get in the car while James reaches for the phone grumbling something about a psychotic plan and getting everyone killed.

Happen to have been enjoying a simple stroll down the street she see a bit of ruckus going on across the street by her friend McKeever's house. Stopping and intently watching she can see through the windows what appears to be a few people hustling about.

Roguelaure.. don't do it. Curiousity kills the cat remember.. Her thoughts filled her head but she knew that she couldn't turn her back on her friend and fellow leader. Damn it..

She stepped off the curb and onto the pavement right into  a puddle. Seriously damn the luck. She shook her foot violently trying to get the water off her shoes before they soaked into her socks. Looking back up she still could see a bit going on and she found her way to his front walkway. Listening closely, she heard the muffled sounds of a guy talking and suddenly she heard McKeever blurt out..

Disguise....Abe Lincoln...

I can't let him do that. She shook her head and then made her way to the door. Something was going on and she figured since she bothered to come across the street step into the puddle, then at that point she might as well help. Raising her hand to knock on the door, she stumbled backwards as the door was flung open and none other then Mckeever stood there with a women she knew of as Ana.

Crap! Losing her footing, Roquelaure took a giant step back and even though she wobbled a bit she was able to catch herself before she fell right into some freshly planted flowers.

McKeever.. You slowly open the door you don't try to murder someone with it! Roguelaure straightened her shirt up and smoothed out her pants.

What are you doing? She raised an eyebrow as she looked up at the both.

Walking down the streets with her son Haytham...Tessa hears a big commotion going on she see's Aaron and his friend his James arguing over a disguise...Tessa picks up her son and just watches for a second debating if she should go over there or not..She continues to watch she can't help but laugh a little hearing them argue so she decided enough was enough...

Tessa walks over to the men  and blurts out...

Hey you guys you know an Abe Lincoln disguise is not intimidating right i am here to off you my help....

The men looked at her as Haytham gave them a look clinging on to his mother...Aaron i suggest that you calculate this carefully also if your gonna break into a vault than i suggest you form a team who is right for the job...Tessa looks at Aaron hinting to him that she can help him break into the vault....

Haytham hears a little child near by as he struggles to get out of his mother's arms...she looks at Aaron and asked is your little sister here Aaron maybe she and Haytham can have a play date while you figure out how you are gonna pull this off without failure my friend i can help you but your gonna need more people than this you know that right......

Tessa waits on Aaron's response...

Sitting near an alleyway hustling some dope, Lefty was approached by a hobo-looking man who offered him some valuable information 

if he had cash. Lefty paid the hobo a few hundred bucks and listened to him.

"Thanks sir. I heard a man talkin about a heist around the corner then there was this commotion going on, maybe get vouched in and you

could make some real money kid."

The homeless man walked away in joy as he stuffed the bills into his pocket and ducked into an alleyway as he disappeared.

Lefty walked around the corner of the building he was next to and went down the street. He started to hear the people conversing

and approached the group in a calm manner.

"Hey! Whenever you *points at McKeever real quick* got a moment can we talk? It's important"

Waiting for McKeever's reply, Lefty lights up a cigarette.

Smiling when he sees Roguelaure, Aaron tries to play it off and act innocent.  As he reaches for his flask and takes a drink he grins at her.

"Going on?  No, nothing's going on.  Why would you think that?  It's freezing out here, how bout we...well, I was just about to head to town, would you like a ride in with me?"

Aaron slips out the door, doing his best to not show her what was going on inside, as he notices Tessa approaching.

"Oh for the love of...James, what kind of crazies did you call?!?!"

Aaron throws his hands up in defeat and opens this door to his house inviting both the ladies in.

"Ok, come on in, James, if she's so curious, you can catch Roguelaure up on what we're thinking.  I've got to get to town and take care of a few things already."

As soon as he opens the door again, Aaron notices another man, trying to get him to walk down some alley, then looks over his shoulder. 

"Does anybody know that guy over there?  I think he wants me to follow him."

Tessa puts her hood down for a moment as her son starts to tug on it..

Now haytham don't mess with mommy hood I need it so no one see's my face...

she looks at Aaron after he did not sound to happy to see the femme fatal...but she hears him asking if she or Rougelaure knows the guy trying to lure him away her response is..

Hell no I don't ...Tessa waits on Mceevers response as she tinckers with her hood a little..
