Mazaròl Lions : Chapter 18 "Done Neatly"


In the meeting, they search for which target Elio wanted and research the dealer’s building as much as possible for the perfect plan for them to rob it smoothly. While Sapphire and Aquamarine do the research, Elio is assigned to access their building’s map and get know of what kind of securities they are using as well as handling their payment later. Now their position is on their way to the dealer, of course with one of their cars robbed from the garage, Senzati Mercedes.         “Alright, remember the plan, right?” Sapphire speaks up while they are on their way to the car dealer. “Yep.” Elio simply replies to her. “Yes, ma’am.” Aquamarine replies with a teasing voice and quickly receives a slap from Sapphire who is sitting right beside him. “Good! Let’s do this boys!” Sapphire shouts as to pump the other two members who are in high energy. After driving for almost half an hour, they finally arrive at the place and pass the security check at the front gate. “Everything is ready?” Sapphire says to check everyone’s equipment and what they need for their assignment. “All done~” Aquamarine replies as he is showing a small chip to Sapphire and that makes her grin while shaking her head lightly. After hearing the check from Aquamarine, Sapphire doesn’t hear anything from the front seat where Elio is sitting right now, the driver's seat. “Hey.” She calls him as she is pulling herself so she can look at Elio’s face from beside him. This kind of sudden action, Elio still can’t get used to it as he jolts a little bit by it and how close her face is just now. “I know this is our first time working together and I’m supposed to be by your side. But..” She continues and puts one of his hands on Elio’s head “I believe your knowledge and experience can handle, right?” The softness and calmness in her voice once again makes Elio’s heart beat faster as he is wanting to put all of his effort as well. “You can do this, okay? Just stay calm and believe in us,” Still with that calming voice of hers as she moves her hand slowly from his head toward his chest and stops right on top of his heart “Believe in yourself as well.” she continues. At this moment, there is no way that Elio is able to look directly at her face but thankfully he has almost arrived at the entrance hall. As he is slowly driving the car to the entrance hall, the car finally stops and he gets the chance to look back at Sapphire’s face, who is full of trust in her eyes toward him. He doesn’t say anything back at her, just staring and finally nods his head. Even though Sapphire only knows him for five days already, those small reactions from him are already enough for her as she replies with a soft smile on her face as well. She gives him one last pat on his chest before pulling herself back up at where her seat is. “Here he comes.” Aquamarines speaks up as it is referring to the salespersons and guards who are going to greet and lead them to get inside. “Alright, fighting everyone!” Sapphire says as she pulls her small pouch with her. “Good luck, buddy.” Aquamarine says and slaps on Elio’s shoulder as to pump him up. “Good morning.” The man greets them as he gives one of his hands toward Sapphire for helping her to step out from her car. “Hi, good morning.” Sapphire replies with a smile on her face and takes his hand gently. When one of the salespeople is accompanying Sapphire, the other one is with Aquamarine, still doing the same greeting. The two others are already inside of the building and the guard approaches the driver’s seat. “Good morning, sir.” He greets him and Elio just stays silent without replying back. “May I have your identity, please?” Elio takes out his wallet from the pocket and gives his ID to him. “Thank you very much and you may park the car over there.” the security replies while giving back the ID then points at the parking lot where it is only for the customers. “But isn’t there a VIP parking lot there?” Elio asks him as pointing at the parking lot right next to the building. “Oh, yes there are those executive customers who can park there.” The security says and expects that Elio will leave but he doesn't. Elio knows exactly what the security meant as he pulls out a ‘black card’ in front of him to show it. The security is surprised by Elio’s action but he smiles immediately and slowly takes the card from his hand. “Please allow me to check it, sir.” He says and walks back to the security’s counter where there is the machine to check rather the card is real or not. It only takes a minute and the security goes back to Elio and hands the card back to him. “Thank you for the wait and you are allowed to park the car there.” he says and Elio takes the card while looking at him weirdly. After that, Elio raises the door’s window and drives the car to the VIP parking lot. “Easy peasy.” Elio says with a smirk on his face. He looks around first before taking out his laptop and starts working on it. Meanwhile the other two who are assigned to get inside are still having a small tour that the salesperson shows around. Even though they already know which car they are going to take, they will just follow the flow from the people around them to make sure there is nothing suspicious about them. In the middle of the tour, they suddenly get a signal from their microphone as a sign that Elio is getting ready for their communication system. “Test.. test.. say ‘how about the second one’ if you can hear me.” Elio speaks up and both of them loot at each other. They nod their head as a meaning that they both can hear him clearly. “How about the second one?” Sapphire says and that eventually takes the salesperson's attention to look at them. That’s the signal and now Elio’s assignment is to gain their security access and their payment. “Are you interested in the second one, madam?” The salesperson says as he is approaching them. Sapphire is just about to reply to him but Aquamarine stops her as he wraps his arm around Sapphire’s shoulder. “Ohh.. mio caro..” He speaks up and it makes Elio freeze up immediately “We haven’t seen everything yet. I’m sure there will be something more interesting here.” He continues as pointing at the place where the car of their target is. Sapphire knows exactly what he is doing and follows his guide quickly. “If there is nothing more ‘interesting’ here,” She deepened her voice in that word to emphasize it for the salesperson “we won’t get anything from here.” There it is, her threat toward the salesperson who needs to get her idea immediately before losing a potential customer. Thankfully, Elio can put his thoughts aside and focus on his assignments right away when he remembers that they are playing the married couple role right now. “Hoho.. you’re not going to believe it later.” Aquamarine replies and breaks eye contact with Sapphire as he is now looking at the salesperson. His face shows a signal to just straight forward to the last car of their tour, safe the best for the last. Thankfully, the salesperson quickly gets the idea and takes action to it. “This way, please.” He says and leads them toward the car’s display. It is at the center of the display and has the highest stage which makes it shine the most from the others. Just from looking at it before taking two steps before getting in the same place with the car, Aquamarine and Sapphire eyes are sparkling by the view. Their smile grows wider as they are stepping closer to the car. “Lamborghini Aventador Jota. One of the limited-produced cars in Italy.” The salesperson says as they finally step on the same floor with the displayer. “Woahh..” Both of them say in amazement but not showing it too much because their lust for robbing it might be shown up. It is enough for the salesperson to know that his decision is correct to show this display toward them and gain his courage back once again. “This car has-” The salesperson is about to explain the type and tell them anything about the car but again Aquamarine stops him right away. “V12 engine. A full-speed suspension. Series production is Aventador LP 700-4. Carbonskin, set the brand new carbon fiber materials and also the side bumpers. What else?” Aquamarine explains and that leaves the salesperson speechless. What Aquamarine just did actually is one of the distractions toward the salesperson for Sapphire to give her a chance to put her small chip inside the car, the center of it. She quickly puts it inside, right at the center of it, and acts as if she is still checking the passenger seat. “Get the signal.” Elio says through the microphone as a signal that he just needs another chip from Aquamarine. Seems like he knows that Sapphire is already done with the assignment, Aquamarine winks and gives him a pat on his shoulder as he continues to check on the car with Sapphire. When he is just about to enter the car, suddenly someone shows up behind the salesperson. “Not a fan of wheels?” He says and slowly walks toward them with his hands at the back. Aquamarine looks back and finds someone who looks like has a higher position than them, the sales manager. He smiles at him and turns his face to look at the car’s wheels. “Around twenty inch rims at the front if I’m not mistaken and it also has an additional carbon fiber for optimum brake ventilation.” Aquamarine replies as he bends down and touches the left front wheel. “Twenty one inch at the rear and five-spoke aluminum wheels that have a central lock system.” the man adds as he smiles toward Aquamarine. “Oh! Cool!” Aquamarine replies naturally, still with that wide smile of showing satisfaction on him. He doesn’t want to reply much because it might give them that he is so unprofessional. It leaves both of them to stay quiet but Aquamarine still acts so naturally that no one in the room will spot any suspiciousness on him. “Mio caro,” Sapphire calls him when she pulls herself out from the car until her head gets above the car “Check this out!” She calls him. Aquamarine smiles and nods his head first before turning his head back to the manager. “May I check the interior, please?” Aquamarine says to let the manager tell him how it is designed inside.         “Of course.” The manager smiles and lets Aquamarine sit in the driver seat. While the manager is explaining to them all of the buttons function in the car, Aquamarine manages to find his chance to put his chip in the car. Elio gets the signal and quickly accesses the car with his laptop. “Get the second chip signal.” Elio tells them as he is now processing for him to take full control of it. “Hoo.. nice.” Aquamarine replies to both Elio and the manager. Here we go Funkidz.. Elio says inside of him and lets his bot do the job perfectly as he projected it before. All of the processes are done quickly within a minute and he already takes full control of the car and also the entire building without anyone from the company noticing it. It becomes more powerful as time goes by! Elio exclaims excitedly with a big grin on his face. Back to the members who get inside the building, the manager is already done explaining to them about the car and Sapphire nods her head while facing Aquamarine. Aquamarine gets the signal of what she just meant by that. “We’ll take this one.” Aquamarine says firmly as both of them get out of the car. Gasps from people inside the building can be heard by hearing what Aquamarine just stated in front of them. “Very well.” The manager replies and bows a little bit “Allow me to lead you guys to the payment area.” he points at the payment area. Of course Elio doesn't let his guard down, his ears always open from the beginning and hear their whole conversation as well. He checks the other laptop he brought, the one to that full of their fake money suitcase, and it is ready to be used, perfectly. This part is where Elio needs to focus the most, their payment, the one that they have been prepared for before coming here. On their way to the payment area, Aquamarine takes out his phone to call Elio and Elio picks up the phone right away. “Bring the suitcase here.” Aquamarine says and without waiting for any response from Elio, he hangs up his phone. Elio, who is already on stand-by in his car, grabs the suitcase from the back seat and proceeds to get inside the building. He meets the other two in the payment area where they are sitting together but strangely the manager is on the same table with them.         “Ah.. there you are.” Aquamarine says as he greets Elio who is stepping inside and pats Elio’s back “Great work.” He continues and Elio just nods his head. Elio puts the suitcase on the table and bows to them before leaving the building. However before he turns around, the manager suddenly tells them something. “Your driver may drive your vehicle back first, madam.” he says as he is speaking to Sapphire about Elio “This vehicle has only been produced once in this country so there is no other unit other than this. You can drive it right away later.” Sapphire doesn’t flinch at all when she hears what the manager just said, instead she still puts her smile there. That’s probably because they already knew these things would happen. “Yes.” she says and looks directly at Elio “You can drive back home first, Savino.” that is just a fake name that Sapphire just made a second ago. Once again, Elio doesn’t say anything and just bows them as he is leaving the building now without anyone stopping him. After Elio leaves the payment area, Aquamarine opens the suitcase where all of the documents needed and cash are. When he already takes out all of the documents, the manager starts to speak up again. “May I please, sir?” He asks and points at the suitcase meaning that his crew is going to count the cash. “Sure.” Aquamarine replies and gives the suitcase to the manager. The manager walks away from them and toward his crew members. This is the chance for the two of them to check about their current condition. “What do you think of it?” Aquamarine asks Sapphire but this is actually a signal for Elio as he is asking of their condition. They had talked about which words they were going to use as a signal for each other. “All good.” Elio answers right after and their smiles grow wider. Elio’s position right now is in the van and ready to drive away from the car dealer. Not too far away since he is still assigned to check on their condition through all the security cameras and the system they had in the chips. “Lovely.” Sapphire answers and slowly puts her hand on top of Aquamarine’s hand “I would love to travel around with this one.” rubbing the back of it gently. “We will make a plan for that.” Aquamarine replies and holds her hand which makes her giggles. The entire things they have done from the beginning are all acting for playing the perfect role as a newly married couple. So far, there is nothing suspicious that can be spotted at them, unless.. “What do you think of it?” Suddenly someone approaches and asks this to them, the same signal code for each other, it’s coming from the manager. It takes all of their attention in a second as the other two look at him but try to hide their surprised faces. Hearing the manager’s voice is totally different from Aquamarine, Elio notices it right away before replying to them. Both of them take a glance at each other for just a couple of seconds and show their smiles to the manager. “We haven’t planned it yet but..” Before continuing it, Aquamarine looks at Sapphire once again “We are probably going to use it for something special.” Thankfully, Sapphire notices Aquamarine is looking at her right now so she turns her head to face Aquamarine. She doesn’t need to say anything to add it and only giggles from his words because it might give any hint for him to interrogate them. The manager starts to speak up again and gives his hand out as he is wanting to check their documents. Without showing any surprise and hesitation, Aquamarine gives all of the documents to the manager. All of the documents needed are already in the manager’s hand, driver’s license, proof of auto insurance, and complete financing documents. He scans through their documents quickly and raises his face to look at them again. “Mister and madam.. Graffero.” He says, smiling at them. They don't say anything in a reply instead just nodding their head synchronously. “You live a bit far from here.” he says when he is reading their financing documents “Not a fan of the city, I suppose?” turns his face back to the couple. “Yep. Both of us prefer to enjoy being far away from those.. You know..” Aquamarine answers and gives the hand gesture by waving his hand horizontally.         “Air pollution.” Sapphire adds in and finishes his sentence. “Definitely, the biggest reason. What could be better than fresh air, right?” Aquamarine replies by looking at Sapphire. “Getting something for free could be better, I say.” The manager replies with a sarcastic voice which almost catches them by surprise. Fortunately, they manage to not be too surprised by what they just heard. Eyes still on their documents but the manager says something that can refer to ‘robbing’ as it’s pointing at them. “Oh.” Sapphire speaks up to reply to him “Do we get some kind of offers later?” she asks the manager with those bright eyes of hers. The manager looks up to see them directly and shows his smile again. “I’m afraid we could only give you the car covers, madam. One for covering the body and one set is for the seats. Is that alright?” the manager replies and explains about what they are going to get. “Perfectly fine for us.” Sapphire answers with a wide smile on her face and turns her face to look at Aquamarine as he replies to her with a nod. Moment of silence comes again for a minute until the manager’s crew comes back with their suitcase of cash. “Sorry for the wait.” She comes with an innocent smile that doesn’t suspect anything from both of them because all of the money they have been scanned just now showed it is real money. “You may sign it here.” The manager says as he is handing the purchase agreements to both of them and they happily put their signature on each of the papers. Done with the purchase agreement, the managers give them a small suitcase that fills with the car’s key and the documents of ownership rights of the car. “Thank you.” Aquamarine says to the manager and offers a hand shake with him. “Thank you and nice doing business with you. Please drive safely back home.” The manager replies and accepts the hand shake. With all of those things done, Elio’s first mission with them goes smoothly without anything going wrong from their prediction. Seems like Elio is working with someone who is beyond expert this time.
