Money Hungry

23.5

"The beauty of public offices?," Mia asks as she sets down the blue prints of the police station.

"Public records," Bree answers with a smirk.

"This is where he is keeping the money. The vault in the evidence room," Brian explains as he points it out on the blue print.

"Um. Uh, Yeah. Can I get everyone's attention right here, for a second?" Tej says causing everyone to look at him. "We're talking about breaking into a police station. Is anyone listening to those words? Anybody? Popo? Five-0? One time? Pigs? People we don't like."

"You know, police stations are designed to keep people in, not out," Han says as he crosses his arms.

"That's why it's a stealth mission," Bree tells him. "We'll be in and out before they even know we were there."

"Well, we'll need to get eyes in there," Dom says as he looks at the blue print. "At least to find out the make and model of that vault."

"So the vault and then, so... It's crazy," Rome rambles as he looks at the blue prints. "Who's supposed to do all this?" Brian and Mia share a look before turning to look at Rome. This causes everyone else to look at Rome. "What do you mean? Why me?"

"Because you got the biggest mouth," Brian answers him.

"That's for damn sure," Tej says in agreement.

Rome steps off of the elevator with a box in his hands before walking over to the cop behind the window. Bree steps off of the elevator as she makes sure her face is hidden from the cameras.

"Hello, beautiful," Rome says as he sees that the cop is female, causing Bree to roll her eyes. "Look at those dimples. Sexy, sexy. Love those glasses. Where did you get them from? Are those like Gucci frames or something? No English?" The female cop gets up before a male cop walks over. "No, no, no. Damn."

"How are you, sir?" The male cop asks him.

"Special Agent O'Conner. US Federal Bureau Of Investigation," Rome says as he holds up Brian's badge, except it has his picture.

"It says Caucasian," The Cop says as he looks at the badge. If it weren't for the situation at hand Bree would have face palmed.

"That's a tan. You know, tan?" Rome says as he quickly closes the badge and runs his hand over his face. "Look, I'm working this case and I got some evidence here to be held. But I need to get in and check your facility first."

"Nope," The Cop says.

"Look, I know you're a true professional, and I respect you, I promise," Rome tries as Bree holds back a laugh. "You know it looks like you work out a little bit, too. What do you bench, about 350? Ah, shit. Look, I'm just trying to do my job, man. My boss sent me here to just make sure that everything was safe."

"It will be safe," The Cop tells him.

"Okay. Let me just come in and take a quick peek," Rome tried again.

"No," The cop tells him.

"Come on, man. Hook a brother up, please?" Rome asks him.

"No. And you're not my brother," The Cop tells him.

"Brother from another mother?" Rome asks him.

"Look! No one enters the facility but authorized evidence personnel," The Cop explains. "Now stop wasting my time. I'm going to call the embassy."

"No, no, no! No, we're good," Bree quickly says as she walks over. "We don't need to call them. For what? We're good." She takes the box from Rome. The Cop looks her up and down causing Rome to send him a glare. "Here, I got the box. We're all good. I promise you. Thank you so much for your time." Rome and Bree start walking over to the elevator.

"I swear to God, if you were on the other side of that glass I'd bust your damn face in. Now translate that," Rome rants as the door of the elevator closes.

"I'm sure you would," Bree says with a smirk. The Cop takes the box down to the evidence lock up, where the vault is. Rome and Bree make their way to the parking garage, where Brian and Tej are.

"It's done. See, I think I make a better special agent than you ever did," Rome tells Brian with a laugh.

"Well, that depends on how you define 'special'," Brian retorts before slapping the back of Rome's head, a few times causing Tej and Bree to laugh.

"Come on, now. Let's see what we got," Tej says as he focuses on the video camera.

"Not funny," Rome says as he lightly shoves Brian. Tej picks up a controller before using it to move the toy car that is in the box that Rome and Bree had given the officer. The box falls off the shelf before Tej starts driving the car around the room using the video camera attached to the car to be able to see.

"Dawg, you still can't drive," Rome says before Tej crashes into a shelf. "Now, I see why you're always getting into accidents. You can't even drive a damn remote control car."

"I'm going to need you to shut up right now," Tej tells him as he backs the car up.

"I'm not going to shut up," Rome argues with him.

"Shut up," Brian tells Rome.

"Strap him in his safety belt, man," Tej says causing Brian to smile and Bree to giggle.

"Give me the remote, dawg," Rome says. "Go left. It looks like something right over there to the left. What is that?"

"Bingo," Tej says after driving in the direction that Rome said to.

"What is that, six by six?" Brian asks as Tej zooms in on the vault.

"Eight by twelve," Rome says in disagreement.

"Seven by twelve," Tej corrects them both. "Fitted with 18 inch thick steel reinforced walls with insulated copper core to protect against thermal lance. A class-3 electronic lock with a surefire Griffin retumbler and a biometric palm scanner. Ten tons of the top of the line security." Brian, Bree, and Rome share looks of confusion and shock.

"Do I want to know how you know all that?" Brian asks him impressed.

"I had a life before you knew me, O'Conner," Tej answers him. "Let's just leave it at that, all right? She is a beauty, though, man."

"A 'beauty' as in 'good'?" Bree asks him.

"'Beauty' as in, she's going to start off playing hard to get. Then, no matter how much I caress her, no matter how much I love her, in the end, she still ain't giving up that ass," Tej explains to him, causing Brian, Bree, and Rome to laugh.

"Got it. We got it," Mia calls from her spot at the computer, since she was waiting on Tego and Santos to connect to the police stations parking garage camera feed.

"Yeah, we're looking at four cameras," Brian says from his spot beside her as the team starts to gather around.

"Yo, that's some high end shit, too," Han says as he looks at the cameras. "Marker optics. Hundred degree field of view. Ten seconds oscillation."

"Yeah, that's a narrow window, man," Bree says in agreement.

"Can't we just tap in and replace the image?" Gisele asks.

"No, it's hooked into a digital sync. They would know we were in the system. The best we can do is peek," Tej answers her.

"We're going to need some real fast cars to get through this," Rome says as they watch the cameras.

"Not just fast. You got a hard right and a hairpin. We're going to need something agile," Bree explains before looking at Dom.

"You guys mock up a track," Dom orders before looking at Bree and Brian with a smirk. "Bree, O'Conner. Lets go get some cars."

"Nice," Brian says with a smile before they leave.
