I braced myself on the window ledge, ready to jump. Why am I jumping out a window? Well if I don't I'll get caught and put in prison. And I don't do well in small spaces with a lot of people or strangers. I'm the famous "Red Shadow" the most sought after thief in the entire world.
Soon they'll realise that the president is dead and his files are gone. I will be a suspect since I was the last person his bodyguards allowed to see him. For being so confidential and careful, they did not do a proper background search on me. I used a fake name and everything along with a disguise.
Anyways I climbed onto the roof with the heavy backpack weighing me down.
" There she is, she's getting away!" one of his bodyguards shouted.
" You go get her I'll go get back up," the other one said.
Just as he went to follow me I had successfully got on the roof. Then I heard the loud sound of my helicopter. Finally their here. I climbed up the rope to get in as they began to slowly move away.
"I missed you 2 idiots," I say to my best friends as I entered the helicopter. I then strapped in myself and put on the headset, the noise is killing me. "Aww, we missed you too A," they said simultaneously.
Ladies and gentlefarts meet my 2 best friends in the whole universe, Nadia Wilson and Jerimiah Carter. I've known them basically all my damn life. Our mothers are best friends so naturally so we became too.
"Mission complete?" Nadia asked. " You wound me, what kinda question even is that?" I asked faking hurt. "So which horrid person am I supposed to give the file to?" I asked.
"Romano De Renitala," Jer ( Jerimiah) answered. "m'kay, we are meeting him in 2 days, making it Thursday, right?" I asked. "Yup, now let's go get food, flying this thing is making me hungry," Dia ( Nadia ) said. Both Jer and I laughed at her.
I then took off the disguise. I mean I had to wear it for 3 months as well as all the federal agencies are probably looking for me. Totally understandable.

THURSDAY
Here comes Thursday. So I did a background search on Romano De Renitala's and apparently, he's the Italian mob boss. Ehhh, I've done business for a lot of people, especially higher-ups in the crime or underworld as they like to call it. I don't recall doing anything for him before, I don't care, I'm getting a hefty paycheck for this. I mean I assassinated the President as well as stole important files. To be honest 100 million for this is not bad. I've had to do harder shit before.
I do wonder what The Italian Mob boss wants with the president and his files. None of my business tho.

" You guys ready?" I asked Dia and Jer. "Yup, let's go," Jer answered for them both. And with that, we pile into my red and white Ferrari F8 Spider. A beautiful car it is, one of the many I have.

"Okay we're here," I say getting out of my car. Properly looking at the building it looks like some kind of warehouse. It really isn't smart to be here without backup, I mean this could be a fucking trap. I'm not worried tho, I'm a literal linking machine and my friends can fight pretty good as well.
We go up to the guards at the door so that they can let us in. " Go to floor 8, the Don is waiting for you," one of the guards says. We nodded and they allow us through.
We walked to the elevator and Jer pressed on the 8th floor. The 3 of us learned sign language to communicate with each other when we are out. : Let's not talk while we are in here it could be bugged or have hidden cameras," I signed. "Yup, I agree, we can never be too careful," Dia signed back. "Yeah, we can't trust these people," Jer signed to us. And I and Nadia nodded.
The elevator stopped and we got off. We walked down the hall until we saw a door that said " Boss's Office". There was obviously guards around, so we made sure to be careful, quiet and observant.
Jerimiah Knocked on the door and when we heard a come in, he opened the door and we entered.
"Hello Mr De Renitala," I say as I take out the files, that I had put in a hardshell case, it wasn't a briefcase though. "Here are the files you hired me to steal," I tell him placing the case with them on his desk. "You may look at them to authenticate," I say in my monotone business voice. "I will do so," he tells me simply.
After him skimming through the files he nodded. " Your 100 million dollars will be transferred now," he says. "Okay sir, " I say turning to leave.
"Wait," He calls out. I stop and look at him. " Yes," I say. " I have an offer for you," He says. " Go on," I tell him. " I want you to help me carry out an operation which I needed the files for," He continued. " What will I get, Mr De Renitala?" I ask.
"150 million dollars," he says blankly. I turn and look at my friends us communicating with each other silently using our eyes. "What happens if I don't?" I ask. He laughed darkly. "You want to say no to me," he says. I just stared at him blankly.
"You do realise that I could use your friends as leverage, right?" he asks. " Mr De Renitala, I could take you down and not break a sweat, you have no idea what I could do, so I suggest you leave my friends alone," I say coldly. You could feel the air tense.
"Are you threatening me? I do not take disrespect lightly," he says. "That was a promise," I say looking at him blankly. He's wasting my time and I do not like that at all. "500 million," he says.
"What do you guys think," I signed to my friends. "Sure why not," Jer says. "It's not like we need the money," Dia adds. "I mean, I think it would be fun to see what, he's planning with the files," I tell them and they nodded.
"Okay I accept your deal," I tell him.
