It was a great evening in Las Vegas as Teach stood in the open desert, overlooking the city skyline off into the distance. The temperature was slightly chilled, but nice. The sun was setting, so the city lights were beginning to show. Teach pulled out a pack of his cigarettes and lit one. The smoke slowly trailed off into the air. The silence was so profound and peaceful that he could hear the tobacco crackle as he inhaled. He closed his eyes and took a couple of slow deep breaths. This was a place Teach enjoyed coming to before doing any type of job that involved high stress and risk of life. He needed to get into the right head space. He needed his emotions absent, his thoughts silenced like the desert around him, and he need his mind focused on a one absolute end.

He stood with his eyes closed, until he heard to motor of a car approaching far off into the distance. He opened his eyes and could see a black sedan making haste towards him, dust clouds piling up behind it, and a faint sound of a radio playing a nice song. That could only be one man, Tony_Vega. He was a new face in the crew, but one that showed great potential. Today was the day Teach would see just how much there was. Teach reached into his pocket and pulled out a small photograph and held onto it as he continued to smoke. He watched the car as it closed in on him. He could spot his friend as the sole occupant of the car.

Teach stepped towards the car as it came to a stop. Tony stepped out of the car and walked towards him. Teach then placed the cigarette in his mouth, and shook the man's hand. He then retrieved his cigarette and began to speak.

"You're early, I like that Mr. Vega. Thanks for that."

He raised an eyebrow and grinned.

"I'm sure you're curious why I asked you to meet me out here in the desert. I won't tease you with that reason."

He handed Vega the photograph.

"That my friend, is an AMD-35 armored car. It was manufactured in France, but now resides in Paradise, Las Vegas. You see, there's a retired Army Colonel that lives in Paradise. He's very wealthy, has an estate, and on that estate he keeps this war truck as a retirement trophy."

Teach motioned for Tony to flip the photograph over to the backside. 

"On the back there is the address for this illustrious colonel. You and I are going to go there, tonight, and we are going to take that prize. How does that sound Mr. Vega?"

My sedan bumped and jolted to the potholes and uneven road i went down. It was peaceful, being by myself always has been my favorite time less people less drama and at the end of the day i know i can trust myself. That could change soon, EdwardTeach offered me a job and a way to make money. I wouldn't say i didn't trust the guy but getting that trust takes more then a job offer and having me meet him on the outskirt of the city.

I rolled up to him puffing on a cigarette. He had a crazy gleam in his eyes obviously whatever he had planned he was getting chub over and god damn do i hope that's a good thing.

I stepped out of the car and walked over to him, he didn't waste any time and got to the point while handing me a picture. I had to double take the picture and figure out if i was hearing him correctly. 

"A fucking Tank"?????

"What are we the military, look i'm the man for the job and ill do this shit with you but what the fuck a tank this shit is bound to fuck us right back forget the Las Vegas cops, feds will be looking at us but then again i don't want to fuck your judgment if this is the plan then if ready lets do this shit".

Teach could immediately tell by the look on his new friend's face as he looked down at the picture, that he was not eager for this task at all. However, what sane man would be? Teach grinned wildly as he heard Tony's voice yelling that it was a tank. Teach shook his head from side to side.

"It's not a tank Tony, relax friend. It's an armored car. There's no tracks on this vehicle. It's just like driving a big utility truck."

He knew that was not going to help calm his friend down one bit, but it was the truth. Tony continued speaking and Teach laughed as his friend finished his thought.

"Well, you bring up very valid points, but it's not like I'm just stealing it to steal it. We're going to take that Colonel's war prize tonight. Then we're going to drive it out into the desert to a government ammunition depot. Use the armored car to penetrate the defenses, and then we're going to load that car up with as many Thompson sub-machine guns and ammunition as we can. Once we get the hell out of there, we'll meet with another contact, offload the armored car, then we'll set it ablaze and abandon it."

He scratched his beard for a moment before continuing.

"Now as far as the cops are concerned, let's just say they won't have an interest in the case once the stolen property is discovered torched. The feds will certainly investigate the depot heist though, but it's a bureaucracy. They will make the attempt for a week maybe, then they will simply write it off."

He smacked Tony on the back.

"So what do you say my friend? Ready for this or not?" 

Did you use crayons to write this? Find a new line of work please..there's enough shit in the streets.

Edward went on about technicalities and all that to i guess ease me up. It really didn't work yet at the same time i wasn't scared i had money to make and my worth to prove, this was the life we led after all. 

I pulled a cigarette out of my front pocket of my jacket and lit it, a small drag and i spoke.

"Ready as ill ever be lets get to this shit".

I gave a grin and waited to see what Edward would do next.
