Smiles after sitting quietly he gets everyone's attention and start to talk quietly so everyone will focus on what he is saying.

Bellissima you are without a doubt a sharp business woman and I respect that and I know the boys appreciate it too. Lets just say that your up to speed on things and we can make it well worth your while to accommodate us in our request. We will pay you the 6 months rent and only sign a lease for 2 days tops. So you get your money and we get our party and we go our merry way. I think our proposition is more than generous, what say you Madame?

Bell eyeballs the man who has been sitting so quietly in the back of the room.  His proposition was more than fair, but she had to figure out a way to say no to it.  She needed in on this heist, and it was time to think fast on her feet.

Sir, I'd say that's a very fine proposition, though I have one more stipulation to add.  I would like to come to this party.  It sounds as though it will be very exclusive and I may be able to make more deals amongst your guests.  I will not make myself obvious, just bringing up my work in passing conversation. 

Bell hoped her self invitation would be accepted. She knew if she could get into the cover party, she could "stumble" onto what they were really up to.

Watches the faces of his associates and ponders in silence thinking to himself if it would be worth it to have her along. Perhaps she might be willing to waive any fees with the right amount of coaxing and no paper trail was a nice thought too.

Okay here are my rules then if we let you come to the party you waive any fees for the building and we make a gentleperson's agreement on the usage and no paperwork? Coming to our party will win you a lot of favorable business I imagine. I am all for helping people out but I expect some help in return you know the old saying scratch my back and I will scratch yours. I think that you should take the offer as it will benefit you.

Offers her a drink and pours one for himself.

Do we have an agreement? Shall we drink to it?

Smiles at the man as she picks up her glass and raises it

That is fair enough Sir.  I have family in the lifestyle.  Bell winks and then smiles before drinking.

Until tomorrow boys.....Bell stands up from the chair and gathers her things, heading for the door.  I look forward to this party of yours. 

 Tommy, who had been sitting quietly for the duration of the deal took a sip of his drink, got up and spoke.

Well, I guess now that we have the location, maybe I should get decorations and the such. You know, party poppers and costumes. I'm sure you guys can keep Bell occupied until I get back.

Tommy takes a few hundred dollars from a supply fund by the door

I'll see you lot in a few hours then.

Ralphie sees Bellissima leave.  There something that he didn't trust about her but he just can't put his finger on it.  So to make sure she's on the up and up he slips out the back door and around the corner and follows her through the city streets ever so carefully as to not get caught.

At one point one she turns around quickly and Ralphie ducks down behind a car.

Shit!  He said in a loud whisper.

He followd her back to the cafe so Ralphie squated down in front of the window and look inside.  A couple of people walked out and say him there and gave him a funny look.

Bug off will ya? I'm busy.

Ralphie looked in and saw Bellissima and the old man talking.

God damn it!  I hope she didn't hear me.

Bell heads off down the street to meet with her Uncle.  She had a sneaking feeling she was being followed but when she looked no one was there.  Arriving at the cafe, she smiles at her Uncle and kisses his cheek.

Everything is in place Uncle. They are going to do the heist tomorrow night.  I'll arrange for them to "take a fall".  Bell smiles and takes a sip of her coffee, thinking of all the wonderful shopping she had ahead of her.

So now that it was quiet I picked up and began scrawling out a guest list.

So I have all the usual gang and a few special people and I put Bellissima down as her and guest maybe we will finally get to meet the old man. So you guys think of anyone outside our normal gang that should be on the list?

Nobody replied and so he folded the list and handed it to Auset.

See that these get to the printer and get sent out as soon as possible. Also make sure someone keeps tabs on Bellissima  since she is really an outsider and claims to be connected. Perhaps we should move up the operation.

-Auset- picks up the list and starts reading...

Hmm... i see, this is a pretty good list, now that Ralphie is following Bell, i will hand the list to one of my bodyguards to copy it and send it to every one.

He calls for one of his BGs and hands him the list, he takes a few hundreds off the table and hands it to him... make sure the invites are all sent! He looks at Wolf and says:

Well that's that now all we have to do is to wait for Ralphie to come back!

And just then Ralphie Bursts through the door.  The door slamming into the wall and He seemed out of breath.  Keeling over with his hands on his knees Ralphie tries to speak.

You---guys--I--

Ralphie tries to catch his beath first....breaths deep and tries talking again.

You guys, I ---I just followed that dame back to the cafe and she was meeting with an old man.  I think she might be up to something.

Hands Ralphie the beans he left on the table.

Here eat some of this then spill the beans only not literally. So she is plotting something to set us up you say? Well then perhaps we should alter the plan? What do you guys think we should do about it?

Smiles as he thinks of the ways to dupe the traitor in their midst.

-Auset- takes another sip off his drink and looks at Ralphie.

So she did didn't she... yes Wolf we need to come up with a plan on how to make this happen and deal with Bell at the same time without the guests noticing and without the cops finding out, ohh and we have to deal with the old guy too... right...

ok, let's get some shut eye and we will plan this out in the morning shall we?

He takes his cigar and heads to the bedroom, you guys can crash at my place if you want, i have two extra rooms, he lays down on his bed thinking about what the next day holds for them and then falls asleep...

Early the next morning the alarm rings and signals that it is time to get up. I wanted to be ready for today and have time to resolve any last minute kinks. I climbed out of bed and slipped on some sweats and a jacket and went to grab a bite to eat from the kitchen. When I walked into the kitchen Auset was already their pacing back and forth I guess he woke up during the night.

Well good morning Auset did you sleep at all? Whats on your mind? I have a few ideas to run by you and the gang. I want to get a run in first though. Will you take care of rounding up the rest of the gang and tell them we will meet in an hour.

After Auset nodded he turned and ran out the door for his morning jog.

As Auset and Wolf are talking in the kitchen Tommy walks in carrying a box.

Hey guys, I got some ammo, three thompsons and a shotgun. I also got a stick of dynamite, however I doubt we'll be needing it. 

He sets the box down on a coffee table

And I also got some decorations for the party, just the regulars. So whats the deal with Bell? Did Ralphie find out anything about her? 

Back from his Jog, Auset looks at Tommy surprised and says: "What? he didn't tell you?"

After letting Tommy know about what bell was planning to do, he takes a small peace of paper and places it on the Kitchen table. This is the guest list, the people that will be coming are written in red. He looks at Wolf and nods, now that we are all here, we have to sit down and make a plan!

Bell walked briskly down the street with the intention of buying the hottest dress she could afford.  Walking into a boutique, she smiles at the saleswoman whom she recognied.

Hello Lindsey, how are you?  I've got a party tonight, which may yield in good return.  I need to look good and turn heads.  What do you have for me?

She waited as Lindsey brought out her best dresses and ended up choosing a sharp little green dress with a plunging neckline and a short hem.  She also chose some matching green shoes and paid for her wares.  She was sure she would turns heads in this outfit.  The green brought out her red hair and green eyes, and showed off her curves. 

Walking down the street with bags in her hands, she smiles as she thinks about the party tonight.  She knew she was taking a big risk by  not being honest with the boys, but her Uncle had bigger plans for them and she was being used to test them.  She looked forward to what they had planned for her.  Bell headed into a salon to get her hair and nails done.  She must look her best tonight.

-Auset- takes a small note and places it in Wolf's pocket, "you will know when to read it"

He enters the Kitchen and prepares some food for the guys, after finishing he takes a pen and a piece of paper to draw out the plan of the robbery.

He writes down:

First, we get every one inside the party
Second, at twelve midnight we enter the tunnle
Third we get to the Bank inner wall and blow it up with the TNT (alarm goes off)
Forth we have exactly five minutes before the cops arrive, we use the map to get the cash and we leave.
Fifth, we hide the tracks and get back to the party (and if the cops ask, we were at the party the whole time)

If any one has any other plan go ahead, let's hear it!

Sounds good to me Auset well thought out plan I am thinking that Ralphie will take Bellissima aside with to an uncrowded area and tell her there is a change in plan and keep her occupied while we do the hit. That way she will think we are including her and that something came up she won't notice we are missing as Ralphie will tell her we are getting last minute preparations ready and will come get them when its time. Any thoughts?

That's a very good plan!

-Auset- picks up his glass and takes a sip, he looks at Wolf and says: When Ralphie gets here let him know of the plan and what he has to do, i have to go buy a new tux for the party, Tommy your job is to make sure every thing goes to plan and that no problems, fights, wacks occur at the party while we are gone. Take care guys and see ya in a bit.

He heads off to the suit shop on the other side of the street, a fee minutes later he exits the suit shop holding his new suit and making his way back home, to his amazement he spots Bellissima at the end of the block holding shopping bags... hmm, so she is getting ready... haha, she doesn't know what she will be missing!!

The door shut as Auset left.  It wasn't that loud but loud enough to instantly wake Ralphie.  On his way out to the kitchen to pour himself a bowl of milk and beans and a full English breakfast with extra breakfast when he spots Wolf sitting in the living room by himself.

Hey Wolf.  Good morning.  Uh, where's Auset?
