~Flashback: 15 years ago~
Rena lived in a orphanage most of her life. Her parents left her on a doorstep but she never knew why they gave her up. But if it wasn't for her parents leaving her, she wouldn't have met her amazing family. Here's how they met.
Rena and Blaine were each other's closest friends since they were toddlers. So, they were like brother and sister. They were the only kids in the orphanage for a little while.
Then, the caretaker, Jackie, brings a red-haired girl, with pale skin and hazel eyes in the room they were in.
"Rena, Blaine. This is Sasha, she is going to be staying with us. I want you two to make her feel at home." Jackie says sweetly as she introduced the young girl to the children.
They gave her their best smile, to show her that they were friendly. Sasha hides behind Jackie's skirt, still a little shy from the others. Jackie soothes Sasha by slowly getting her in front.
"It's okay, Sasha. They don't bite." Jackie reassures Sasha.
Sasha walks slowly to Rena and Blaine and gives them a toothy smile. "Hola. Me llamo Sasha."
"Hola Sasha! Me llamo Rena."
"Y me llamo Blaine. Mucho gusto. I might need a refresher on my Spanish. But it's nice to meet you." Blaine days
Sasha let's out giggle. "It was actually great, it's so nice to meet you too! How long have you two been here?" She takes her place in between them on the couch.
"Since we were toddlers. But don't worry, Jackie is the best caregiver. You'll feel right at home. So what country is your parents from? Or ethnicity?" Blaine asks curiously
"Me and my family are from Venezuela, my parents and I immigrated here. But something happened and now I'm here."
"Don't worry, you'll like it here." Rena gives her a reassuring smile
Jackie was like the crew's mother, even if she struggled a bit to provide for them. She still was able to make them happy. When she passed away due to an illness, the crew looked out for each other and learned how to take care of themselves so they wouldn't be separated.
When Rena turned 18, they lived in a run down apartment together. They worked minimum wage jobs just to pay the rent and their nesseccities. But one day, things changed when they saw people with their fancy clothing at the museum.
"I wish I had her shoes..." Sasha sighed
"I want her dress" Zoey says
"Well we just need to work out what we have. Someday, that will be us." Blaine says
"But, look where we are. High school dropouts, Blaine. No degree, no high paying job. We basically live in a dump." Asher complained
"At least it's something. But I do miss Jackie. If she was alive we wouldn't be like this." Simon says sadly
Rena looks to her group, despair and grief sat in their eyes. She looks back to the event inside the museum. She then gets an idea, a crazy one, but good plan.
"Well, if we want to live the high life; then we going to have to cheat our way to the top. And I know just how." Rena says nonchalant.
"What ever it is, I'm in." Asher says
"What?? Why, it could be crazy?" Simon says confused
"Because aren't you tired of this shit. The way we live? We deserve this." Sasha says pointing to the wealthy people inside.
"I'm just not down with murdering people." Zoey says while looking to Rena
"Don't worry, I wasn't thinking of it either. I was thinking we rob things and pull off heists. Then, we would have all the money in the world and do what we want with it." Rena says dreamily
"I want to help donate to hospitals to kids with cancer. Enough to also help the scientists find a cure for it." Simon says
Asher nods in agreement. "I want to make a good orphanage home for kids who were like us. But they would have a better life than we did financially."
"I always dreamed of having my own animal shelter. And also to never put them down because of space. Only if they are dying." Sasha says
"I want to open my own boutique shop. And make donations to kids in the system so they would have better clothes than we did too." Zoey says
Everyone but Rena looks to Blaine. He sighs and looks in on the event. "I would want to have a center for troubled kids, like us." Blaine says
"What about you, Rena? What would you do with your cut of the money?" Simon asks
Rena looks to the group and back in the window of the museum.
"I would try to find my parents. Hire people to help or something."
"Then it's settled? We become criminals?" Blaine asks
"Well, just be glad we didn't decide on being murderers. Besides, I think Rena should be our team leader. She did come up with the plan and all." Sasha says
"All hail leader Rena, so what are you thinking of doing?" Asher asks
"I'm thinking we steal that golden jewelry set in that museum right there." Rena points to it in the window.
---------------------------------------------------------
The airplane lands in Hawaii and the crew walks down the stairs, the warm, breezy air hitting their bodies.
"Finally, 7 hours in a plane does something to you." Simon says while stretching
"Ain't that the truth, but let's get to our villa and we can complain then." Rena says as a slick, shiny silver car pulls in. Out of the car, is there driver Frank.
"Welcome back, Silver Crew. Worked hard?" Frank asks
"Sure did, thanks for picking us up, Frank." Blaine says as he gets in.
"And thanks for watching over the home for us. I owe you one." Rena says
"It's not a problem, Rena. I'm just glad to see you all okay." Frank says as he closes the door and starts driving to their villa.
Frank. Their driver and trusted helper. He was hired by the crew after they were fleeing from a scene and their van broke down. He swooped right in to help. Since then, he's became a trusted helper and servant to the crew.
---------------------------------------------------------
The crew walks into the villa, setting their bags down and go into different directions. Rena goes to their vault and puts the painting inside. She locks it back and heads to her bedroom.
She sets her bag down and takes a shower. She puts on her comfortably clothes and goes down to the kitchen.
Asher and Sasha were cooking in the kitchen. The room filled the aroma of roasted vegetables and hints of seasonings. They were the chefs of the house.
"Something smells good." Rena comments
"Awww thanks Re, we figured we needed this as a celebration for last night's heist. We pulled it off once again." Sasha says as she puts the entree in the oven.
"Is the painting secure?" Asher asks
"Yup, it's in the vault and preserved while we wait for the buyer. And we might have another heist on our hands." Rena says
"Ooooo, what will be stealing this time?" Sasha says
"I'll tell everyone later after dinner in the meeting room. It's something that will make us richer." Rena says as she walks upstairs and back to her bedroom.
---------------------------------------------------------
After dinner, the crew gathers in the meeting room. Everyone takes a seat and Rena hands them the photos of their next heist.
"Our new buyer wants us to take the Hope Diamond located in a museum in D.C. He is willing to pay us 50 million, for it. We start the job in 2 weeks during a gala at the museum."
"Damn, it's beautiful and so is the money." Zoey says
"This is going to be our greatest heist yet." Blaine
"But remember we still need to be careful, the FBI is involved. One wrong move and we could be separated." Simon says worryingly
"We will Simon, we won't separate. We will never let that happen." Rena says calmly as she puts a comforting hand on his shoulder
"So, we all in?" Rena asks
Everyone looks to each other and nods. "We're in."
