"There is an ice cream parlour down this road. We can get a cone from there" Mike suggested and after mild hesitation, Type smiled and nodded.

"Why have I never had this Ice cream before?" Type asked, excited "It tastes so good!"

Mike looked at Type's happy face and smiled "I know right"

They had their ice creams in hands and were coming back to campus.

"Umm I definitely owe you for introducing me to this amazing place" Type said and looked at Mike "Lets go there sometimes again uh.. I am sorry I haven't asked you name yet "

Mike felt his ears ringing loud bells. He couldn't believe the guy just asked to meet him again on his own. Type looked at Mike's expressions and immediately apologized "I'm sorry I didn't mean to impose. We can go there again only if you want"

"I'll want!" Mike yelled happily but immediately retreated and replied in a much gentler tone "I mean sure. And I am Mike"

"I am Type" Type smiled and took a big bite of his cone "Now I really have to go. See you around later"

He smiled, excusing himself and went to his car.

Bright was standing besides Gunther along Gun, Mike and few other trusted guys, staring down at what appeared to be a map of local area, circling few areas.

Gunther put his hand on a block drawn near the red circle and looked at Bright, nodding as he spoke "You stay in this building and hacks the store's security. Mike will stay with you"

Bright who was already focused on the map, nodded subtly. He licked his lips and looked at mike who had nervous yet determined look on his face.

"Gun"  Gunther said and looked at the tall boy standing in front of him "You'll enter the store along with these three guys and do the deed without any ruckus. Stay connected with me and Bright at all cost"

Gun nodded and glanced at Bright who was still looking down. Gunther then looked at the rest of his boys and continued "Rest of you will stay around disguised as normal citizen. Take notice of the surrounding and provide help when needed"

Everything was planned. They just had to wait for the evening. Bright was as usual sitting on top of decided building, exactly on the edge and placed the bluetooth device on his ear, closing his eyes and sniffing the strong wind.

"Its dangerous to sit there" Mike interrupted, standing behind.

Bright ignored him and opened his laptop, tapping on the keyboard like a cat throwing its paws at goldfishes in bowl.

"I don't wonna say this right now But I am really nervous" Mike chuckled, looking at his sweaty hands.

"I really want you to go home alive. Can you cooperate?" Bright asked, looking at him. Mike immediately nodded and sat behind Bright, observing his work.

Their men entered the shop like normal customers at first. Bright hacked their cameras and forced closed their automatic doors, making it look like the shop was closed by the shop owner.

And after exactly 19 minutes, Bright received signal on his bluetooth device, asking him to help them out.

Bright tapped few keys on the keyboard with a smile on his lips and the security alarm in the shop went off, indicating a robbery.
