The Rodwells
Inside the Rodwell's manor.
Adam and his brothers had been rescued by old Mr Rodwells who was one of the richest men in Robinson. The four brothers had run away from home after Adam had killed his abusive father accidentally with a rod when he was trying to stop him from beating Jake. When Mr Rodwells had taken them in, he did his best to teach them everything he knew, which included the life of thieves.
Adam sat behind the desk inside his study and silently listened to the invitation letter that his younger brother Leon had brought in from the mail. His other two brothers, Jacob and Maximilian sat quietly as well on the sofa both taking in the news.
Leon
*reading* Dear Mr Rodwell.
Leon
You've been invited to the high stakes artifacts auction taking place on Mr Frederick Jones private Island.
Leon
Your presence will be highly appreciated.
Leon
*looks up animated* Big brother, this is the chance we've been waiting for. We can finally get the safe.
Leon was the youngest, he appeared as naive in front of people. But behind the scenes, he was a sharp man driven by the zeal to get it done.
Jake
I think this a grand opportunity, it has been presented to us on a silver platter.
Jake
And we won't struggle at all.
Jacob, was second from the youngest born of the Rodwells. Unlike his brothers, he loved a life of luxury and parties. Amongst the four, he was the most lively and most loved by the girls because of his striking good looks and style. And he was no different behind the scene, his good humor still played even during heists
Max
It's not a bad idea, but it won't be easy. Am sure Jones would not invite half of Robinson on his private Island without measures.
Max
He must have the whole R squad on the Island.
Maximilian, the second born of the Rodwell family. This one was a wiry and agile man with dark piercing eyes, he was the complete opposite of Jacob when it came to lifestyle and personality. Max, was quiet but had speed and precision during heists. He was known to society as the most noble of the Rodwells.
All of them relied on the family business, and the heists. They had no personal jobs and it was only Adam and Max who handled the family business while the younger ones especially Jake, liked to party and gamble. As for Leon, he spent his days behind the computer doing god knows what.
Leon
Exactly, which brings out more of the fun.
Max
Don't be ridiculous, we haven't operated for almost a year. We don't know what's out there.
Leon
*excited* relax, I've got us covered.
Leon
I heard about this a couple of days back......
Jake looked at Leon surprised. It occurred to him that Leon was always ahead of the public news. He seemed to know things before news reporters. But the truth of the matter was that, Leon lived for what they did behind their public lives, which made him focus more on getting information that was useful.
Jake
Didn't the news only broke this morning?
Leon
*scoffs* Not on the dark web.
Jake
*less interest* Ah, that.
Leon
.... I've already went through the invitation list, it seems like we are going to have a couple of friends there.
Leon
*smiles* Including special agent James.
Special agent Ivan James was one of the government agents that had been on their tail for So long. Aside from Sparks agents which the Brothers knew nothing of their identities, Agent James was the only government agent that was close to identifying who they really were. so he was a big threat.
Leon
*nods* He didn't even bother to use a disguise.
Jake
*looks at Adam* What do you think?
Adam rubbed his beard, being the oldest of the four he needed to be careful despite how much fun they always had. He used every chance he could get to be strict just to keep his adoptive father's legacy. Which meant that, sometimes, he had to let a chance slip if he so it fit.
Adam
*sighs* We should sit this one out.
Adam
I'm serious, we've been invited. We can't mess up.
His deep voice exuded a tone of command without meaning to. A tone he only used at times like these, he figured it was the only way to make them understand. If they were going to be exposed, then a lot would be at stake. First his business then the legacy that was left to them by the man who gave them a second chance to life. He could not risk it.
Leon
*eager* We won't mess up, I've done thorough search and planned well too.
Adam
*looks at Leon* And I don't doubt you for a second.
Adam
But this is a trap...practically not by Jones himself but someone else.
Adam
*nods* Until we find out who their secret agents are, we cannot do anything.
Leon
*pouts* That's unfair.
Leon
*lightens up* What if I find them for you....
Max
Stop, Leo. Don't forget, James will be there too, we can't underestimate him. And we leave tomorrow, you don't have enough time.
Leon
*pouts* but I've already sampled out possible candidates, let me work on those first.
Jake
Stop torturing yourself, little bro.
Jake
I'm going to the casino tonight. why don't you tag along, we can have some fun.
Leon
*uninterested* No thanks, I hate that place.
Jake
*sarcastic* How is he part of the family?
Adam
*sighs* This will be a chance for many others to enter Jones lair, it will be a fight to the end.
Adam stayed silent for a moment looking at his brothers.
Adam
If you're so eager to do something......
Adam
I can give it to you.
Adam
Map out the entire Island, entries to exits. Use this visit to get as much information about the area as possible.
Adam
*smirks* Then after the auction.....we can come again for the safe.
Max
*shrugs* Good plan, but won't it be gone already. After all, there will be so many people trying to get it this time.
Adam
Let me assure you that no one will be able to get to that safe during this period of the auction.
Adam signalled for Leon to give him his tablet. Leon did and Adam went through the invitation list.
Adam
Half of this list are Robinson's wealthy people. They will not come alone, each of them has gland security and that combined with the governments and Jones own security, no amateur thief can get through.
Adam
It will take three times the men and technology skills to break through this security measure. Which means, it would take us, a month or so to prepare for such a heist.
Leon
*groans* I had it all planned out.
Jake
*puts his arm around Leon* I've changed my mind, why don't we go to the Club and wash away your sorrows?
Max
*stands up* Then we've agreed to sit this one out.
Jake
*follows suit* Yes, sir.
Max
*pats Leon's back* Chill, little bro. Next time.
He snatched his tablet from Adam and stormed out. Jake chuckled amd followed behind him.
Jake
*grin* Don't worry, I'll help him get over it.
With that he left the two elders alone.
Max
*rubs his nose* You won't like it though.
Adam
Don't tell me it has something to do with Glow tech.
Adam
*sighs* What is it this time?
Max
Remember there was a competitors meeting this afternoon?
Max
Well, Glow's CEO began with verbally insulting the MD of cross tech before she finished with a punch which actually removed a tooth.
Adam knew Jessica as Glow tech founder and CEO, and she was not in his like list. He had to admit that it was impressive to see a young woman in her early twenties like her shoulder such a big company. But he would also not deny the fact that she was rude and lacked some formality.
Most people said she took it from her father, who was the older version of her.
Adam
*winces* That girl.....
Adam
As long as she did not touch my people, I will not do anything to her.
Max
*cautiously* But we must be careful. despite the fact that she uses violence, her products and services are good and a lot of people wants to work with her.
Adam
*clenches his fists* that......
