"This place....it like..... STINKS!" B whined."This is really gross, and it might get my bombs wet. Blade was there really no other way we could take?"
"Heh, you sound like Tech and Shoot. Exactly like them." Blade chuckled. "Are you trying to be a pantomime artist, the one that copies people exactly? There was no other way, B, I looked into it. Besides I really didn't think you'd be so afraid of a little sewage water. That's a funny thought." Blade laughed. Scythe tried unsuccessfully not to. B, feeling insulted, threw her sash of bombs to scythe and took lots of small bombs from her jacket, belt, shoes, pants off as well before throwing herself in the murky water.Making sure to completely drench herself, she smiled smugly and looked at Blade and Scythe.
" I don't know why you're smiling when you're going to have to put those clothes through a lot to get them to not smell putrid." Scythe said with a laugh. B's smile fell. She swore at Blade and took her bombs back before insisting they move on. Making their way through the smelly, twisting, rat-infested tunnels of the sewer, they came upon what they were looking for. An opening. Actually, it was gated off, but the point was it was an archway that would lead them to Mike's. Not in his house directly, but about 3 miles closer than they would get any other way. Hey, a rich, snobby, cheating loser has got to protect himself. B turned to Blade and grinned.
"This is where I can go 'boom' right?" she asked, hope glimmering in her eyes.
"Yes, B, blow it up for us. This is your first 'boom' of the night. Start up this party for us alright?" Blade said smiling, as this was their first mission in 2 months. She shared glances with Scythe, (also smiling) and stood back. *BOOM* Dust,dirt, and pieces of metal flew everywhere.
"THHHHAAATTT WASS SOO COOOOLL!" B yelled almost incoherently, as she ran through and climbed up to ground level.
"Yup, I say that starts our party. Shall we get going?" Scythe managed to get out, before she followed. Blade just laughed.
"Whatever happened to the leader going first?"

After having run eight or so miles out of town and deep into a forest, the three thiefs could finally see the fat pigs mansion. Scythe whistled. Although she couldn't see the mansion that well, the gate in front of them was huge. She slowed down.
"How high is that gate?" She asked. "And is that the front or back?"
" It looks to be somewhere around 19-21 feet high.That's probably the front gate. He's got more guards in the back 'cause his room is back there. So I don't think we will bust in through there." Blade replied, slowing her run to a jog.
"Probably?" B asked, breaking her stride as well.
"Well, I've never actually seen this place. Mike keeps as much of his info as quiet as he can keep it. I was lucky to get blue prints." Blade said, taking out rolled up parchments. "See, the back is where we want to avoid." Blade said. "I have a source that says he has a treasure room, elsewhere. Ready to jump this big thing?" Blade asked, totally excited. Her comrades answered with confidence and Blade and B picked up their pace. Blade and B ran ahead and took out several guards, with ease, knocking them out before they had the chance to defend themselves, let alone sound an alarm. Scythe had started sprinting once she saw the ambushes success. Blade stood as a base and B got on top of her, standing on her shoulders. Blade had to hunch over a little bit so Scythe could jump off her back, onto B's and boost herself up, barely being able to grab hold of the top and vault herself over. It was a tall gate. Scythe, however, managed to jump it smoothly and soften her land on a guard. She quickly took him and his partner out with swift, yet hard kicks to the stomach and knocks over the head with her scythe (oh, yeah she definitely jumped the gate with her scythe).She turned to her companions with a smug smile.
"Oh, like we couldn't have done that," Blade said, rolling her eyes. "Sometimes you're such a showoff. You know that?". They finally all turned to see the mansion. "Did I tell you this place was a big house? Scratch that, this place is an enormous village." There were several sets, yes sets of huge houses. They couldn't see where the houses stopped stretching on.
"So....where do we go? " B asked trying to snatch the blueprints that Blade had.
"Well.." Blade began. She turned to Scythe. "Since you're being so showy today, I want you to sneak around and find out what you can about where Mikes room is, where the diamond we're looking for is, what parts are heavily guarded and why, and maybe draw us up a map? Or find one. Whatever. Find out everything you can without getting caught. Whatever you do, however much you're able to find out do not get caught." Blades eyes narrowed. "Listen, if you get caught it's all over. We won't save you, we'll run. You'd be on your own. " Blade warned trying to get the seriousness of the matter across to her friend.
"I gotcha," Scythe said winking. "This Mike guy is not someone to mess around with right? That's why you are sending me, the sneakiest, correct? In other words, 'don't screw up or else' . Relax, if you send me I'll get the job done." Scythe said, and before another word could be said about the issue, ran off.
"Hey! She's the sneakiest?! I beg to differ. I think I'm pretty sneaky. Aren't I the one who usually does this kinda thing?" B asked frowning a little.
"I always ask Scythe first. Usually she says 'someone else can do it'. She was a real thief before this you know? Not like now, but a real thief, in a real gang. I was in a gang, but I wasn't a thief like she was. If there is anyone who knows how to sneak around it's Scythe. She can get a little bit over confident, and she's scary when she's mad, but she's good at what she does. She's probably the best. Next to me of course." Blade replied.
"Whoa, you guys were in a gang together?" B asked, surprise coloring her face. That made Blade smile.
"No, we were enemies. Our groups always seemed to be in conflict. We really hated each other. I was the leader of my gang, although I don't know how they ranked each other in Scythe's gang.I do know is that she was able to steal from me by herself when I was surrounded by my crew and I didn't even know it until later. That was pretty sweet, and that was one of the many reasons I recruited her."
Blade said sweetly enjoying the memorable moment.
"Ohhh....what were the other reasons? Surely someone from your own group would have been better to ask to join you. Why an enemy? What qualities does Scythe have?" B asked curious why someone would want to partner up with their enemies.
"Don't you know most of them? Isn't Scythe someone you trust? Do you think Scythe is your enemy? So you tell me why I chose Scythe for my partner." Blade said smiling. She was enjoying this.
"Ah, well..." B smiled. She suddenly felt stupid for asking. "Anyway," she said changing the subject. "What are we going to do while Scythe's out?".
"Well, we have got a job of our own. And I need you help, miss when-do-I-get-to-go-boom." Blade replied. B smiled and said "Finally. Let's go make some noise in this quiet little villa!"
