The Owl Job Part 4
Tony, Layla and Jordan are on top of the elevator to make their way to the floor where the codes should be in Sudarikov's apartment.
Tony and Layla repelled down as Jordan made his way down carefully by holding and stepping on the metal beams. They got to the floor then Layla takes out some sort of device putting it on the double door forcibly opening it.
Layla walks into the door to the hallway as Tony Jordan were about to do the same but they heard a noise above them. They looked up to see the elevator coming straight down towards them.
Jordan: "Go Tony!"
Jordan yelled shoving him into the room as he fell to the ground and Jordan made it by a hair and is still standing. Tony is on the ground gasping for air.
Tony: "Whoa! I nearly got crushed!"
Jordan: "Idiot. Next time keep moving."
Layla looks down at Tony on the floor smirking at him with her left hand on her hip.
Layla: "First time infiltrating a secured floor through an elevator shaft."
Tony: "Er... yeah."
Jordan & Layla: "It shows."
Layla: "Look step it up Toretto, we don't have much time."
Jordan and Tony followed behind her over to the two double doors in front of them.
Jordan: "You're right. This floor seems like it's occupied by Sudarikov. By the way what should we be looking for?"
Layla: "Shashi said that the codes may be housed in some kind of USB or CPU."
Jordan: "That seems a little obvious."
—————————————
Sebastian and Echo looking for the keys that Shashi has somewhere in his house. They go down a level of stairs into an office room. Cisco is searching in the kitchen, as Frostee is looking for the keys in the living room. Sebastian walks over to the shelves on the left side of the room full of pictures that look like his parents and pictures of Shashi when he was little.
Grabbing one off the shelf, he flips it around to see if the keys are behind it, but all there is dates on when they were taken. He puts it back on the shelf carefully and made sure it was angled right it was before.
Sebastian was about to move on until he sees a photo of his father in one of the frames. He grabs it confused flipping it over as it read "God Father" on the back of it.
Sebastian: (I didn't know you knew the Dhar family, dad.)
He turns it back over and he stares at his father in the photo who is wearing his hunting gear and rifle down. Sebastian felt a tear rolling down his cheek, he then felt something touch his shoulder, as he looks over to see Echo on his left.
Echo: "You okay? I've been calling your name, but you didn't hear me."
Sebastian: "Yeah I'm alright. Just zoomed out there for a bit. Come on, let's find the keys before Shashi gets back."
Echo watch him place the photo back onto the shelf and he walks over to the dresser on their left. She looks at Sebastian then at the photo on the shelf. Looking at it closely she realized the person on the photo kinda looks like Sebastian a bit.
Echo realized that the man is Sebastian's father and she felt sad for Sebastian as she walks over to him who is searching the drawers.
Echo: "That's your dad. Isn't it?"
Sebastian stops what he was doing but he closes the drawers and turns over to her. She heard him sigh then he nodded to her.
Sebastian: "Yeah..."
Echo: "I'm sorry."
Sebastian: "Not your fault. I'm not. I was angry at him."
Echo: "Why's that?"
Sebastian: "He could've worked somewhere else than working for a rich guy. But he was desperate for money to help us. Don't get me wrong I love him but becoming a hit man isn't something I would've expect him to be."
Echo: "I see... you don't need to be like your dad. Just be glad that you have us in your life to help you through."
Sebastian: "I know... thanks, Echo."
They both look at each other for a few seconds into each others eyes and they were both about to make a move but they both get interrupted by Frostee.
Frostee: "Guys check this out!"
The two looked at him as he went back upstairs and they both rolled their eyes but followed their small friend anyways upstairs.
Echo had her hands in her pocket walking up to him and Sebastian is on her right. They both see Frostee staring at a screen aquarium with hologram sea creatures in it.
Frostee: "Holo-fish, holo-pusses... [Gasps] It's a holo-shark from the movie Holo-Shark!"
Sebastian find is quite interesting that things like this can be holograms now but he prefers the real deal.
Echo: "How can a hologram eat people?"
Sebastian: "I was going to say the same thing."
Frostee sighed turning over to them with a shamed expression.
Frostee: "You guys don't science."
They heard running as they turned to see Cisco running up to them.
Cisco: "Guys, guys! I found it!"
Echo: "The keys?!"
Cisco: "Better. (Taking out a cup.) boo yah!"
They watched him put it close to his mouth as some froyo came out and into his mouth.
Cisco: "It's a portable froyo, yo!"
Sebastian sighed shaking his head at Cisco but he is laughing in the inside because the way how Cisco is with food.
Sebastian: "Okay, Shaggy. How about you slow down before you give yourself a brain freeze."
Frostee: "Man, Rich people have the best stuff!"
Echo: "Cisco, put that back. Remember, Ms. Nowhere said to leave no trace. You to need to focus and on..."
Sebastian turns his head to the left to see a painting of an Ang Chen.
Sebastian: "Uh, Echo.."
Echo: "What is it Sebastian? I'm trying to.."
She turns over then she also saw the painting on the wall as well as she gasped at it.
Echo: "What the... whoa! Is that an original Ang Chen on the wall?"
Sebastian: "Seems like it."
They all looked at it surprised but they got interrupted by Nowhere on their watches.
Nowhere: "Hey, focus! The tectonic imaging from our earthquake showing a vault underneath the infrastructure. Go find the entrance."
—————————————
Jordan is hanging on the wall waiting for Tony and Layla to put a cover over the security cameras so they can search where the codes are. He watched closely as the two covered the cameras before dropping down onto the floor.
Tony: "Clear."
Tony and Layla untied themselves from the harness as Jordan walks over and helps Layla get the rope off.
Tony hears hoots from behind as he turns around to see an owl in a cage wearing the same hat as Sudarikov and is wearing a golden necklace with a crystal in the pendent.
Tony: "Check out the rock on that bird! Huh. That owl reminds me of my aunt's parakeet, minus the bling."
Layla is searching the codes in the bookshelf listening to Tony and she shakes her head at him.
Layla: "Do you always talk this much on a job?"
Jordan: "Oh, he's just getting started."
Jordan told her while searching the coffee table drawers but didn't find anything in it as he closes it.
Tony: "And one time aunt Molly's house caught on fire. A little bit of a ribs incident. The whole place went up in flames. Then, my cousin Dom ran back in to save that bird. 'Leave no family behind.' That's the Toretto motto."
Tony tells her walking over to the plant searching it but no codes in it.
Layla: "Well, a bird's not family. Now a dog, that's family."
She told him looking at the other bookshelf as Jordan lifts up a carpet then knocks on the floor wood to hear anything hollow but it was still sturdy.
Jordan: "What kind of dog you have?"
Layla: "Why? You stalking me hotshot?"
Jordan: "Just trying to get to know ya is all. Sorry to offend."
Tony: "yeah, paranoid much?"
Tony asked leaning on the bookshelf looking over at Layla with a smirk.
Layla: "Yeah. Uh, I don't know if you two notice, but kinda a lone wolf shadow criminal type, not a baby who ride on his cousin's coattails talking about his stupid family. No offense Jordan nothing on you. Let's move. Okay this isn't the room."
Jordan: "None take."
Tony: "Ouch. You know family is important. You need to have a few people you can trust."
The two follow Layla down the hallway looking at the paintings on the wall.
Layla: "Family slows you down, and trust is for suckers. Look these codes they'll be in a security location."
Echo (comms): "Hold up."
This caused Tony and Jordan to jump a bit because they weren't expecting Echo to talk to them.
Jordan and Tony: "What?"
Layla looks back at them wondering what's going on with the two.
Layla: "What?"
Tony: "What?"
Layla: "Huh?"
Echo (comms): "I wasn't talking to you, bro?"
Layla: "Were you talking to me?"
Tony: "Um.. I was. Did you, Did you say something?"
Echo and Layla: "Are you okay?"
Tony: "Er... Everything's fine. Let's just keep doing what we're doing."
Tony walks passed Layla as she sighed annoyed of him.
Jordan: "Tony can we a weirdo sometimes. Sorry about that. Let's keep looking for the codes."
Layla gave him a nod before walking next to Jordan.
———————————
Sebastian is looking at the painting as he wondered why Shashi has it this large in the living room. A decent size of it would of been fine so he looks over it about three times until he saw something that is completely off in the yellowish area.
Sebastian: "Echo, yellowish small area in the middle."
Echo looks at him then back on the painting on where he told and she saw it as well.
Echo: "Uh... whoa. That doesn't belong here."
She reached over pushing the button, then the painting slides down and revealing a door with a passkey in the middle. Frostee smirks grabbing his medallion around his neck before saying,
Frostee: "I got this."
Sebastian looks at Frostee watching him clicking something as a laser came out of the medallion missing him about an inch then towards the ceiling making a black mark.
Frostee: "Oops wrong button. Most of these are for lasers, I guess."
Sebastian: "Geez, Frostee."
Echo shook her head at Frostee as he walks up to the door putting the medallion close to start hacking into it. A second later the door opens revealing a dark room.
Cisco: "Yes! We're in."
—————————————
Layla is on some sort of tablet to try and look for anything that has the codes anywhere on the floor their in. Jordan is looking at it on her right as Tony is looking on her left.
Tony: "So, that think is going to know if the codes are in the computers?"
Layla: "It scans the servers for any unusual encryption that may be hiding the codes."
Jordan: "Impressive, Layla."
Layla: "Thanks."
Tony is looking a bit confused of what she said to them as he asked her again.
Tony: "So that thing is gonna know if the codes are in these computers?"
Layla groan by Tony's annoyance and Jordan shook his head at him.
Jordan: "Yes, Tony it does."
——————————————
Sebastian, Echo, Cisco and Frostee got into the elevator and Echo pushed a button and it starts to go down. The elevator stops, as the doors opened revealing a large room with three cars that got them excited.
Cisco & Frostee: "Whoa!"
Echo: "Aw yeah!"
Sebastian: "Awesome!"
They walked in a little closer checking out the cars.
Frostee: "Mm-mm-mm. Check out the awesome cars!"
Echo: "I'm checking them and I like what I see."
Sebastian: "Should I buy you one one day, Echo?"
Echo: "I'm alright. But thanks. I still love my car."
Sebastian: "Doesn't hurt to have two vehicles. I have a car and a motorcycle."
Echo: "Well if you're willing I'll be glad to take that offer one day."
Sebastian gave her a nod with a smile before checking the car next to him. But gets interrupted by Nowhere on his spy watch.
Nowhere: "Forget the cars. Find the keys."
Echo: "We don't even know what these keys look like."
Nowhere: "Scour the place. See if you can find some sort of memory stick or external hard drive."
Sebastian: "Zu'u vaat waan vulsik los atruk ful baarkei, Zu'u bo wah kos ful motag."
Everyone looks at Sebastian wondering what he said out loud. It was the first time that even his teammate didn't know he spoke in a different language but it wasn't some kind of common language.
Frostee: "Um what language is that?"
Sebastian: "Dovahzul or dragon language."
Cisco: "I didn't know dragons have their own language."
Sebastian: "Well, play Skyrim for ten years and you'll know the language quite well."
They all keep looking and Frostee looks at one of the class cases that has a crystal in it.
Frostee: "What if its not a USB or a hard drive. Hm. You know you can store a crazy amount of data in crystals now."
Tony and Jordan are listening to Frostee as they both looked at each other with a smile.
Tony & Jordan: "Data crystals, that's it! Genius!"
Layla: "Um who are you two talking to?"
Tony: "Er, to one another."
Jordan: "Yeah. We know where the codes are."
He then grabs the ear ring from Layla's ear before he got up from the floor.
Layla: "Hey! What are you two talking about?"
Tony: "Did you get a good look of the bling on that owl? The codes could be stored in there. We've got to go back to the apartment and get it."
The boys got up but then, they heard Shashi in their headsets.
Shashi: "Guys, abort. Sudarikov is headed your way."
Layla: "You don't know if the data in the crystal."
Tony: "If we hurry we can get in and out before Sudarikov returns."
Layla: "What's this 'we' business? Yeah- okay you heard Shashi. I'm out of here. You guys can stay if you like."
Tony: "Fine. We don't need you. I'm gonna do what Torettos do best: go back for the bird."
Tony goes left as Jordan follows him and they got back to Sudarikov's apartment and Jordan slowly opens it as they went over to the cage where the owl is.
They got to the cage as Tony opens it and Jordan covers him if Sudarikov is coming. Jordan takes out the ring from his pocket and gave it to Tony who takes it. Tony grabs the crystal in the middle of the necklace but the owl tries to bite it back from his hand.
Jordan: "Would you stop playing around, T?"
Tony puts the ear ring where the crystal was before shutting the cage. Then they hear a beeping noise from the entrance door as they went over to hide behind the balcony window curtains. They saw Sudarikov walk in and they try to open the balcony door.
—————————————
Cisco: "Yo it's creepy down here. Maybe we should leave."
Cisco said to everyone afraid of being down in the vault that looks spooky to him. Sebastian shook his head at him with a smile then looks back at what he was doing.
Echo: "We haven't found the keys yet."
Cisco: "But what if Shashi comes back?"
Frostee walks over to the other glass cylinder box looking for anything that looks like keys.
Frostee: "Quit sweating. Tony and Jordan will tell us if that happens."
———————————
Tony and Jordan tries to open the door but it still wont open and they look up to see Sudarikov talking to his owl an starts to walk over to them. Jordan used all of his strength to open the door which it did and they ran over to the edge of the balcony as they hold on to the edge of the building below Sudarikov.
Jordan had a good grip but he looks at Tony to see him about to lose his.
Jordan (whisper): "Tony, relax and don't make a sound or move."
Tony (whispered): "Shut up."
Sova the owl tries to let her owner know that Tony and Jordan are below them but it didn't seem to help.
???: "Guys let go. Let go."
They look down to the right to see Layla as she was in her grappling gear and is holding on to magnets.
Tony: "What? No way! Ah!"
Tony lost his grip with his right hand and now he's dangling with his left hand.
Layla: "Trust me. I'll catch you two."
Jordan: "T your going to have to trust her or we are stuck up here."
Sudarikov: "Aw do you got to take a number dvah, Sova? Yes you do, yes you do."
Jordan watch as the owl poops on Tony's head and he tries to hold his laughter to not try and get caught. He watches Tony trying to get it off him but when doing it he loses his grip with his left hand causing him to fall and starts screaming.
Jordan: "Oh, crap!"
Jordan lets go of the building as he falls and made his way down to Tony. He catches up to him and wraps his arms around his friend and then he felt someone grab him as well. He turns his head to see Layla behind him.
Tony is screaming all the way down as they landed on the ground and he starts coughing loudly.
Jordan let him go and Layla let go of him and he starts to dust himself off
Tony: "Thanks J and Thanks Layla for keeping us splattering on the ground."
Jordan: "Don't mention it.
Layla: "Well if you'd fallen to your death, the crystal might've broken."
Tony: "Where's Shashi?"
Layla: "In his car heading home. Why?"
Layla turns around as Jordan and Tony puts their to fingers on their ear piece to tell the team that Shashi is coming home.
Tony & Jordan: "Get out. Now."
—————————————
Sebastian: "Ah, crap."
Echo, Frostee and Cisco heard them as well and Cisco is starting to have a panic attack and starts to back up in fear.
Cisco: "Oh no, oh no! Shashi's coming, what are we going to do?"
Frostee: "Quick, hide!"
The two starts to run all over the place as Sebastian watches as he shakes his head at them being childish.
Echo: "It's not a surprise part!"
Nowhere (Through comms): "Get out of there. Stat!"
They all run towards the elevator as they got in as the elevator door starts closing in front of them.
Sebastian: "I would sing an elevator song, but I'm kinda freaked out right now."
Frostee: "Well it's a pretty long elevator. Are you going to sing one?"
Sebastian: "It has to be an epic one like..."
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(Do not own this song)
Echo: "Hey hey I usually love your singing Sebastian, but we need to get out of here."
Sebastian: "Aw."
Sebastian slouched down feeling sad that he has to stop singing the song. Echo pats him on the back a couple times and then the elevator opened.
————————————
Shashi is driving home as he hears his phone ring. He looks and saw that it was Tony as he answers it then puts it up into his ear.
Shashi: "Hey Tony."
Tony: "Yeah, it's Tony. Is this Shashi?"
Shashi: "Uh. you called me."
Tony: "Oh! Oh yeah! Hey where are you?"
Shashi: "Hold on, Tony."
Shashi turns pulling up to his driveway and he saw his security guard Rusty by the gate.
Shashi: "Hey, Rusty. Anything happen when I was gone?"
Rusty looks kind of sad but he told his both anyways.
Rusty: "No sir, Mr. Dhar."
Tony: "Hey, Who's Rusty? Seems like a fun guy!"
Shashi: "You're calling me Mr. Dhar? Is there something wrong?"
Rusty: "Don't matter."
Tony: "What's going on with Rusty?"
Shashi puts his phone to his ear as he tells Tony to hold on.
———————————
Sebastian and Echo are keeping watch as Frostee is trying to shut the door and tries to reset everything that they hacked or tampered with. Cisco was getting a bit hectic waiting for his small friend.
Cisco: "Frostee hurry up, man!"
Frostee: "Argh! We have to reset everything just right or Shashi would know it was tampered with."
Zarathos: (He's diffidently going to know with the black mark on the ceiling.)
Sebastian: (Yup.)
————————————
Shashi: "Look I'm sorry I hung up on you earlier."
Rusty: "It's okay. I know you're... busy."
Shashi looked back at his security guard with a smile before saying.
Shashi: "No that was rude. You were saying about the first camera?"
Rusty: "Ah its not important. We can talk about the discoveries of Louis Daguerre another time."
Shashi: "Promise?"
Rusty: "Yes sir, I guarantee. I guarantee that. You have a good night Shashi."
Shashi drives into his drive wake parking his car near the side walk. He gets out out of his car shutting the door behind him before putting the phone back on his ear.
Shashi: "Sorry about that, Tony."
Tony: "Eh, no problem. Are you at home?"
Shashi: "Just walking in. Why?"
Tony: "We just had a crazy mission, and I thought you might want to come celebrate with us!"
Shashi: "So you got the codes?"
Tony: "Na na. No spoilers! Come out and meet us."
———————————————
Jordan, and Layla are walking down the side walk next to Tony who is talking to Shashi on the phone.
Tony: "You'll never guess what happened. Go ahead, guess."
Layla: "Just tell him."
Jordan: "Yeah serious. I don't think Shashi likes guessing things."
Layla: "Your right about one thing about him."
Tony: "No, no. I want him to guess."
Shashi gets a little annoyed as he touched the bridge of his nose before asking Tony if he has what he needs.
Shashi: "Did you get the codes or not?"
Layla: "We got it, Shashi."
Shashi: "Yes!"
Jordan: "It was all Layla. She's a genius."
Shashi: "I have to handle some arrangements, but we'll celebrate later. Great job, Layla. Those codes are going to get us into our next race."
Layla was confused as she turn around towards the boys.
Layla: "Why did you guys give me all the credit?"
Tony: "That owl with still be pooping in me if you didn't come along."
Jordan: "Also you saved us from becoming a squash tomato when falling."
Layla: "Well, if you two haven't thought about the crystal thing. We never would of gotten the codes."
Jordan: "Maybe we make a good team."
Layla: "Yeah.... Maybe two should shower. And by the way, you owe me a diamond ear ring, Jordan."
The two looked at each other in silent and Tony looks at them before interrupting.
Tony: "I better get back. See you back, J."
Jordan: "See ya, man."
The two were still silent to talk but Jordan breaks the silent and asked.
Jordan: "Want company to your car?"
Layla: "Sure why not."
The two walk down the side walk towards the cars and they were silent for a moment before Layla asked Jordan.
Layla: "I told you some stuff about me. Why don't you tell me what you do?"
Jordan: "Well, not a whole lot I'm afraid. I'm a weapon mechanic and I help out the crew if they need it."
Layla: "Isn't that hard to do?"
Jordan: "Not really. Been doing it for the rest of my life."
Layla nods before asking him another questions that might be a bit personal.
Layla: "Do you live with anybody?"
Jordan: "No, just my mom."
Layla: "No dad?"
Jordan: "He left my mom and I alone. Didn't care anyways. He was abusive towards me and my mom. He cheated on her with another girl."
Layla: "How did you know he was cheating on her?"
Jordan: "I followed him from the rooftops. Sebastian and I loves doing parkour. Anyways, I saw him stop and seen him talk to another girl and saw them kiss."
Layla: "I'm sorry that happened to you and your mom."
Jordan: "Its okay we're over it now."
They were silent again but a Layla asked him another question that she was curious about wants to know.
Layla: "How long were you with Toretto and his crew?"
Jordan: "A long time. Since we were in Elementary school. Tony, Cisco and I were already friends. I met Echo when skateboarding in a park. As for Frostee, him and I are neighbors and became great friends. I introduce him to the crew and now he's family."
Layla: "What about Sebastian. He seems like a smart and cool guy."
Jordan: "Oh, he is. I met him on a rooftop looking at the view of LA. He was new here. He was cautious with me at first until we start talking about things we both like. He was born in Illinois on the western side Mississippi River. He's smart yes but he can also do martial arts, boxing, wrestling, Krav Maga, and Brazilian jiu jitsu. His older brother taught him a lot of things when comes to fighting. His brother was a member in Gracie Barra in Jiu Jitsu."
Layla: "He seems pretty awesome. Maybe I could spar with him sometimes."
Jordan: "If he's up for it."
They got to their cars as Layla walks over to it opening the door but she stopped turning over to Jordan who was about to get in his car.
Layla: "Hey, Hot Rod!"
Jordan stops as she looks back to see her smiling at him.
Jordan: "What is it?"
Layla: "My dog was a Lab. Her name was Derby. She loved birds."
Jordan: "That's a cute name for a dog. Thanks for telling me."
The two got into their car and drove off home or meet their friends. He calls Sebastian to see if everyone is alright. It took a few rings but he answered him.
Jordan: "Sebastian how's the investigation at Shashi's house?"
Sebastian: "You called in a real bad time buddy."
—————————————
Sebastian is holding onto a wall next to Frostee and the others who are dangling but strapped in on a harness on a rope.
Jordan: "Why what's going on?"
Sebastian: "Dangling on Shashi's deck outside in the back just hanging out."
But when he said that, the part he was hanging onto gave out as he starts to fall.
Sebastian: "Ah! Oh shit!"
Echo gasp before she quickly grabbed his wrist to save him from falling. Echo sighed in relief glad to save her crush and she shook her head at him.
Jordan: "You alright bro?!"
Sebastian: "Yeah! The thing I was holding onto broke. Thanks to Echo who caught me in time."
Jordan: "You got a real act for breaking things, S."
Sebastian: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, will talk later when we get back."
Jordan: "Stay safe."
Sebastian disconnects the call and all four grappled down to the rubber dinghy below them. Echo, Frostee and Cisco gets unhooked from the harness and Cisco drives them back to the docks.
———————————————
Everyone is back in the warehouse to tell Nowhere that they didn't find anything that are keys but Sebastian is having second doubts about the three cars they saw when in Shashi's house.
Tony: " The codes aren't the keys. Shashi said it's for getting into the next race."
Jordan: "We checked every nook and cranny. Nothing about any keys in Sudarikov's house either."
Nowhere looks at the four on her left and asked if they found anything.
Nowhere: "You three didn't find anything in Shashi's crib?"
Frostee: "Nope."
Echo: "Nuh uh."
Cisco: "Mm umm."
Sebastian: "Niid"
Tony arch back onto the couch with a groan feeling bad that they got nothing on the mission they did.
Tony: "So we've got nothing."
Nowhere: "Well, not nothing. Stealing the data crystal from Sudarikov meant that he was unable to trade those code for weapons of mass destruction."
Jordan looked up at her with a smirk and Tony asked her.
Tony: "So we did good?"
Nowhere: "I suppose, just this one time, you did not completely mess up the mission."
The crew was surprise and Echo, Cisco and Frostee yelled in excitement and Tony, Jordan and Sebastian smiled looking at them and is happy that they didn't mess up for once.
Tony: "We did good."
Jordan: "That we did man."
Sebastian then smiled as Jordan and him high five each other.
After an hour in the warehouse, everyone was getting tired as they drove home to get some rest from the long day they had.
