Pushing my body harder I kept swimming, the cylindrical painting holder held in one hand whilst the others moving frantically. I really hope it goes well, I don't want to go to prison, I want to go home and leave Andrei behind.

Come on Storm, do this for dad. With the extra motivation I managed to get to the half way point, I didn't stop though.

"Princess!!!" The familiar nickname pushed me out of my frantic thoughts they're here. I broke the skin of the water to see them standing impatiently, worried looks marring their features.

"Quickly they've locked of 2 exits and are spreading out across the river we need to go before they get  here" Finn rushed.

Nodding I quickly pushed my self out of the ice cold water and shook towards the car, Ray grabbed the painting and threw a bag at me.

Too busy cold and shivering I didn't notice their new attire, both ditched their casual jeans and shirts and have now donned fresh Tuxs.

"Who did you fuck to get them?"I couldn't help but say, Finn chuckled before he jogged to the drivers seat.

"Change quickly, Ray hide her shit"

Throwing my tools at Ray I pulled the lilac fabric out of the bag, oh God this is beautiful.

"Seriously? I yelled whilst slipping out of the tight wetsuit

"Seriously? I yelled whilst slipping out of the tight wetsuit. I heard Finn mumble a few things but instead of finding out what he said I quickly and with difficulty slipped it onto my body.

The fabric isn't giving enough, and to make it worse it's strapless, my boobs aren't made for strapless bras. Covering as much tits as humanely possible.

Pushing my thoughts away I grabbed the wetsuit and threw it at Ray before ensuring I left nothing behind, we can't risk being caught now.

"Get in quick" Ray yelled, dammit.

The dress doesn't help me be any quicker. Lifting the puffy fabric up high I slid onto the front seat and pulled the mirror down.

I don't have make up on but weirdly enough the dirty water has given me a glow. Puffing my curly hair up I glanced at my tanned skin, let's hope it doesn't get ashy quickly.

"So we went to a party at the Bourdua mansion, I'm your boyfriend and Ray is our friend" Finn stated whilst driving like a normal person with absolutely nothing precious in the car. There's slight panic hidden beneath his eyes but he's trying his absolute best to look confident.

The area is surrounded by dead trees, well dying trees. Orange and red leaves gently falling to the floor calmly. Suddenly my mind went back to the driver we were previously appointed with, whipping my head back I groaned, he isn't here.

"Where did you leave the driver?" I asked cautiously, I pray he's ok to be very honest. Ray turned his phone off and smiled.

"We dropped him of at a motel, we will pick him up before we leave"

Perfect.

It's only supposed to get easier from here, I mean the Mona Lisa is in our possession and I managed to escape unscathed so what could go wrong, right?

"Get ready they're ahead, paintings in a fake pipe under the car, they won't find it"

We slowly approached the road block, yellow cones and blue and red flashing lights lighting up the dark endless street, there's no traffic here luckily so if we need to make a quick get away it'll be slightly easier.

Inhaling a deep breath I plastered a fake smile on my face, the silver fox officer motioned for us to come foward.

Not silver fox in a good way, silver fox in a dirty old man way.

"Bonjour officer" I mumbled innocently, the old hag let his gaze drop to my boobs.

Don't slap him Storm, don't.

"Bonjour belle, nous devons chercher la voiture" he spoke attempting to sound husky, nothing really registered in my mind. I can't stop thinking about the Mona Lisa under the car. (Hello beautiful, we need to search the car)

With a smile I gently slide out of the car, the boys followed a-suit calmly.

"Bien sur" Finn mumbled whilst standing beside me, Ray and Finn both hid me from the nasty gazes of the officers, its adorable. (Sure)

I don't know about the guys but Im severely nervous, especially when 2 officers began rifling through the car, their facial expressions remained stoic as they looked around.

I don't really know where Ray hid my clothes but let's hope well.

Honestly the police don't terrify me too much, I'm already filled with dread and terror upon having to meet Andrei. The man promised me terrifying consequences, I know he isn't one to bluff.

The most important thing is to get the painting sold as soon as possible.
