《The American Heist》Forty Rounds
Advertisement
As Jack stalked up to his front door, he quickly but quietly pulled out his M1911 from his hip and grabbed his silencer from the front pocket of his jacket and screwed the slilncers onto his pistol.
When Jack stalked his way up to the front door, he could hear low conversation being taken between a voice he recognizes and an unknown person. When Jack quietly walked through his open door, he knew who the first person was, Connor. Dude is more quiet than hand communication but doesn't know when to shut up when it comes to working on the job. Jack thought as he walked his way into the living room. As for Connor's friend, Jack doesn't have a clue as to who it is.
"You think Jack will be upset if he knew what you did to his restroom" said the unknown figure as she bended over pick up a glass vase. Just then, the glass shattered into pieces as a white flash blinds the room for less than a second. Both Connor and the unknown figure spin around to aim their guns at Jack.
"Hello Connor, don't you think that tonight is a bit Ironic?" Jack said with a smirk."I just broke into Kaz's apartment too talk to him and I come home to find myself with a set of uninvited guest's". Jake sarcastically said. "To what do I owe the pleasure too and what did you do to my restroom?" Jack asked.
"Hey Jack", Connor said as he lowered his weapon down and signaled his partner to do the same. "I wanted to find the tape of the time we went to the range and scored forty hits with the forty rounds." Connor said. "Nobody outside the range believes that I scored a hawk eye." Said Connor. "I also had to drop the kids off at the pool, hope you're not too upset about it" Connor said.

"Well the tape is on the shelf second from the top all the way to the left". Jack said. "Now why are you really here and who's your friend thats trying to climb the shelf?" Jack asked firmly.
"If I'm going to be honest, we were trying to steal any cash you had". Haven't been able to get any good jobs for awhile now." Connor said as he seathed his firearm and stood up. "My friend over there is Morgan, we've been dating for about four months now." Connor said as Morgan walked back from the shelf and stood slightly behind Connor.
"So you need a job?" Jack asked as the smirk turned slowly into a grin. "Yes, I need a job". Connor said and pulled out his phone and handed it to Morgan. "Morgan can you go wait in the car please". Morgan started to walk for the door just before Jack stopped her. Morgan looked at Jack then back to Connor trying to read the situation.
"Connor this job requires all the hands I can trust." I want to know if Morgan would be interested in doing this job. "Morgan would you like to hear my proposal? Without saying a word Morgan takes off her helmet and un folds her hair. "Sure, wouldn't hurt to hear it." Morgan said as she leaned up against the wall so she can look at who ever is talking. "What's the job and who's the contractor?" Morgan asked.
"The contractor is myself, and I'm going to breaking into Fort Knox" Jack said as he looked Connor in the eyes. Morgan started laughing and bent over from losing her compouse "That's the best joke I've heard, break into Fort Knox." Morgan said as she laughed at the proposal. After laughing for a couple solid seconds, she notices that Connor and Jack both have a serious face. "You're serious about this?" Morgan asked shyly.

"Yes, I am serious about this." Jack said while staring Connor in the eye.
"I'm personally not going for the gold, but I have a plan to help you guy get the gold." Jack said. "I've already got a plan, but I need as much help as possible." Jack said as he looked between Morgan and Conner. "I've already talked to Kaz, he's in." Jack said. "Got the best pilot in the hemisphere and now I'm hoping to have the best ghost for the job."
"I'm in, when is the kickoff?" Connor said. "Connor what the hell are you thinking?" Morgan blurted out loud. "Could we talk about it before you sign us up for a suicide mission?" Morgan said firmly. "Morgan I said I was in, not us. Jack made a proposition to both of us. You can decline the job if you want no role in it Connor said calmy. "Jack if you don't mind me asking, if you're not going for the gold, then what are you going after? Connor asked cautiously."
"I don't need your answers right now. I'll contact you in a week and see weither you're in or out." Jack said as he ignored Connor's question and walked past Morgan to the door that led outside. Just before Jack was about to leave he turned around and looked at Connor.
"Does Morgan know what happend in Caracuss Connor?" Jack asked and turned around without waiting for a reply. Jack stepped out into the fresh air of a midnight breeze and called for a taxi.
When the taxi showed up, the driver asked Jack where he would like to go. Jack said St.Louis and slid the driver a hundred dollar bill. "The faster we get there the better." Jack said. Next thing he knew, he was laying down in the backseat and about to fall asleep knowing its going to be a long drive.
