(Y/N) Followed Nate into a little shed, Sam close behind her. They trudged down s few steps, as Nathan peered at an open window, and hooked the grappling hook onto a sturdy looking wooden plank. "That should. hold" He muttered to himself. vaulting out of the window, and repelling down. "Alright, come on down!" "Alright, Alright I'm coming don't have a fit!" (Y/N) quipped cheekily. "Hardy har har..." Nathan shot back as (Y/N) repelled down and jumped to the ground. She heard Sam groan in pain as he hit the ground, grapple in his hand. "These landings are a little bit more painful than I remember." He grumbled. "Yeah, tell me about it.." (Y/N) agreed. (Y/N) walked over to yet another cliff side, which had a lovely view of the ocean.
"So uh... both of your other wonderful finds, the ones I missed. Did you guys at least take any pictures?" Sam asked as they all climbed onto a pillar. "Elena took some with her camera occasionally, but the camera somehow they always got trashed." (Y/N) explained, jumping from the pillar to a small platform, to the side of a cliff. "Oh that's a real shame." Sam commented. "But, Nate has some drawings." She added, causing Sam to snicker. "Drawings? What are they like up on the fridge or something?" He asked Nate teasingly. "What?- No they're decently good drawings!" Nathan exclaimed, but to no avail. He sighed and grabbed onto a one of the four wooden poles sticking out of the cliff.
"This looks promising." Nate stated, grabbing onto the second pole. "I think you mean 'Precarious'." Sam said, as (Y/N) watched him climb with concern. Her heart lept into her throat as the pole nearly snapped in two. "Oh, shit!" Nathan yelled, quickly gabbing onto the fourth pole and making it to safety. "You okay up there?" Sam asked, as he and (Y/N) climbed up to the poles. "Yeah...Yeah I'm good." Nathan said, trying to catch his breath.
Once they got up to where Nate was, (Y/N) punched him in the arm. "Ow! What was that for?!" Nathan shouted, rubbing his arm. "That's for scaring the hell outta me! There's a reason I call you 'Nathan Brake' you know." She shot back, making Sam laugh, as he pulled out the grapple, getting ready to hook it to the stone statue attached to the balcony's fencing.
"It would suck if you missed right now." Nathan said, silently praying he wouldn't get it on the first try. "It sure would;" Sam replied, smirking as the grapple caught onto the statue. "But I don't miss." He climbed up, quickly making it to the top, as (Y/N) followed suit, she smiled as Sam pulled her up onto the balcony. "Why thank you kind sir." She said, a playful grin on her lips. "Of course, Mi'lady." Sam replied, causing the both of them to chuckle as Nathan joined them on the balcony.
"All right.." He said, going over to enter the Auction house. "Ah, Nathan?...Nathan?" Sam called, causing the younger Drake brother to turn around, slightly annoyed. "What?!" He asked; quickly calming down when Sam pointed to the zipper on his blue jumpsuit, and began to unzip it. "Oh.." He said bashfully, unzipping his jumpsuit along with the other two.
"Okay..." (Y/N) said, looking over herself in the windows reflection, and suddenly feeling anxious about her appearance. 'Ugh, my hair looks awful...I shouldn't have worn this jumpsuit, it makes me look like a slut-' "You Alright (Y/N)?" Nathan asked, snapping her out of her thoughts. "H...How do I look?" She asked the brothers, facing them fully. Nathan had a lopsided smile on his face, and Sam gave her a small smile, pink on his cheeks, and his eyes filled with love and adoration. "Like 400 million bucks," Nathan said, Patting her on the shoulder. "Let's go."
He opened the window and headed inside. (Y/N) went to follow, but stopped as Sam caught her hand and pulled her close. "You look like an angel, Princess." He said lovingly. (Y/N) blushed, kissing him on the lips. "You're looking pretty sharp yourself handsome." She replied, and then promptly headed inside.
The room was dark as they entered, making Nate call Sully's name out. (Y/N) felt worry fill her body momentarily, before she heard a voice all too familiar. "You know what I love about partying with a bunch of crooks?" "What's that?" She asked, seeing a cloud of smoke blown away from the couch, and a figure sitting on it. The lamp resting on the coffee table turned on, and there he was, causing (Y/N) to smile brightly. "Nobody cares if you smoke indoors." Nathan chuckled as Sully stood up and hugged him "It's been a while." He stated. "Too long boyo." Sully pulled away and his eyes met (Y/N)'s and he smiled. "Ah, Miss (L/N)." He said, as she laughed and hugged him tightly. "Still lighting up every room you're in I see." He said once they released. "Oh hush..." She said playfully, looking back at Sam, who had his arms crossed, clearly unimpressed. (Y/N) pulled him closer, holding her hand in his. "Sully you remember Nate's dead brother, my boyfriend, right?"
"Victor." Sam greeted. Sully's eyes widened, slightly shocked to see him in the flesh after all this time. "I'll be goddamned...15 years..." "Yep." "Good to see you alive Sam." "Let's keep it that way by getting this cross huh?" Nathan stated.
"Yeah, uh, about that." Sully said, making (Y/N) and Sam glance at each other in confusion and slight worry. "What? What about that?" He asked nervously as they made their way to the door. "C'mon, lemme show you something." Sully stated, opening the door and moving to the upper floors fencing, which overlooked the floor below. (Y/N)'s eyes widened when she realized that the cross was one of the first things that they were gonna auction off.
"That's Avery's Cross." Nate stated heavily. "They brought it out of storage just before you guys got here." Sully explained. "They changed the lot order.." Sam muttered. "Yeah but that takes a whole lot of cash to make that happen;" (Y/N) commented. "how long until they start the auction?" "10-15 minutes tops." Sully said. 'Well that's just great..' (Y'N) grumbled in her head. "Well there's got to be some way we can grab it." Nate said. "There is just the small matter of a few hundred eye witnesses down there." Sully added. "Okay...okay. We just need a diversion." "Like?" (Y/N) asked him. "Like, um....Like I don't know... But there's gotta be something." "Yeah, but if the guards see us making for that cross-" She argued, but Sam cut her off. "Well what if they don't see us?" He chuckled, "Jesus, you guys act like you've never spent time in prison. If you want something dirty done, then you wait.." "For lights out." The other three said in unison. "Where's the electrical unit for this place?"
The group walked over to a nearby table and Nathan pulled out the map of the estate. "There's ventilation...electrical, that's it up there. Pointing to a building near the far right of the estate. "We just have to climb up there and kill the lights." "And grab the cross in the dark." Sam added.
"There will be an emergency generator." Sully commented. "Okay, that'll give us a few seconds of dark to work with." (Y/N) said. "Meaning, we'll have to be right by the cross when the lights go out. " Sam added. "Except there's no way of getting that close without being noticed." Sully said as a waitress walked up to them.
"Scusate, signore e signori... (Sorry, ladies and gentlemen...)" She said. "Antipasti? (Appetizers?)" "I'm all set." Nathan said to her. "Hi...How are you?" Sully said, looking her up and down. Making (Y/N) roll her eyes as Sam grabbed an appetizer off of the tray. "Ciao (Bye)" She said seductively, walking away. "Would you focus?" Nathan said to him, rolling his eyes as well. "A waiter wouldn't get noticed." Sam said suddenly. (Y/N) nodded in agreement. "That'll work." She said.
Nate put away the map in his pocket. "All right, I'll get to the breaker room, (Y/N) , Sully, you both head down to the floor. Keep an eye on the prize okay? Let us know if anything, uh, hinky goes down." (Y/N) nodded "Rodger that." "You mean I'm the waiter?" Sam asked, popping the last of the appetizer into his mouth. "You're the best pickpocket." Nathan explained. "All right. Listen, we still got this." (Y/N) said confidently. "Ready?" "Ready." Sam and Nathan said together. "All righty, follow me. We'll cut through the cellar." Sully stated. The group started to head to the stairs but the boys stayed a little further back to seem not be or seem suspicious.
"I've gotta say Sully, since the last time I've seen you, the years have been kind to you." (Y/N) commented. "Thanks. I chalk it up to going vegan." "Really? You? Vegan?" Sully laughed at this. "You kidding me? Hell no." (Y/N) giggled as well. "Yeah I didn't think so." They walked down the stairs to the the auction house floor, packed with all sorts of people, drinking, laughing, and dancing to the blaring music. "Cellars just through here; let's go."
They walked over to a door in the back corner of the room. (Y/N) leaned on the side of the wall as Nathan tried to open the door, but to no avail. "Oh hell...It's locked." He muttered. "Shit. It was open earlier." Sully said, trying the door himself. "Well now what? Can we pick it?" Sam asked. (Y/N) shook her head. "No it's electronic. We're gonna have to find another way in-" She cut herself off as a waiter exited the doorway, put a key card in his back pocket, and walked onto the floor.
"You see that?" Sam said to Nate and (Y/N). "Key card, left back pocket." She stated to Sam, who nodded. "Yup." "I'm on it." Nathan said, stepping forward. "Oh, whoa whoa..." Sam said quickly, grabbing Nate's arm. "You sure you wanna do that? There's a lot of eyes out there." Nathan chuckled. "I think I can handle a simple lift." He shot back. Sam let go of his arm. "Alright."
Nathan walked slowly behind the waiter, who was leaning on the side of the wall. He focused as he slowly moved closer to the waiter and extended his hand out; but the waiter walked out onto the floor. "Oh, real smooth." Sam said sarcastically. "I'm not even trying yet.." Nathan replied. "Yeah I can tell." (Y/N) added.
Nathan walked over yet again, and successfully grabbed the key card and walked back over to the door. "Hmmph. And they doubted me." He muttered to himself as the others joined back up at the door. "A pleasure to watch professionals at work." Sully said, moving out of Nathan's way. "All right, let's try this again." (Y/N added. she let out a sigh of relief when the door opened. "We'll still need these." Sully pulled out four earpieces. (Y/N) grabbed one and the boys did as well, putting them into their ear canals (A/N: That was such a weird thing to write lmao). "Good luck." She said as Sam and Nathan entered the doorway. "We'll be in touch."
(Y/N) watched at the door closed and sighed. 'Please for the love of god be safe..' She thought to herself. "Shall we then?" Sully asked her, motioning to the floor. She smiled politely. "Well you heard the boss, lets keep an eye on the cross." She replied.
