Rowan makes himself some pepperoni, cheese, and cracker sandwiches from the tray. Rowan puts on a very serious face. "Well I'll be heading off Rio. I'll be out, I have to go buy some equipment and I'll see what I can uncover about some of these people as well. If they are finding out information about us I want to know how they are doing it. By the way, everyone if you leave keep eyes out for tails. We probably all have some and we don't want them to know to much about us. Like don't stop off home for a little while till we sort this all out." Rowan then stuffed a cracker in his mouth and his serious face melted away into a smile. "I love pepperoni, cheese and crackers. Thanks Jojo." Although it was hard to make out since his mouth was full. Rowan walks outside then back in. "I forgot I am hardly dressed to be roaming the streets HAHA." Rowan walks into the bathroom and takes quick shower and gets ready.

"Alright," said Rio rising from his chair, "Meeting is adjourned then i suppose. Thats everything we really needed to talk about anyway." he grabbed a few things from the snack plate that Jojo had brought out. "Meanwhile, I'll be in my room planning out where we might strike next. If anyone needs me, just come on in." he waved to his crew and headed off to his room. As he entered, he flopped down on his large bed and pulled a folder from the nightstand beside it. The folder contained many different pictures and information on buildings throughout the town containing valuable items. Where would they strike next?

((Well I think if we are doing specialties I don't mind being the electronics guy. As long as I am in on most of the jobs. I don't want to be that guy that is practically just supervising like you typically see the electronics specialist doing in the movies. And if nobody decides to take this I don't mind knowing somethings about explosives too. wink ))
Rowan finishes getting ready. "Alright see you all later." Rowan leaves to see a guy about some equipment.

(( this thing says how to say anything in Japanese (or most other languages), and it kinda sounds like 'shifto' or something. try it out and see what you think )) Robert vacantly said good night to the rest of the group and entered his room, closing the door behind him. He sat on the side of his bed for a little while to think. Rio's home was the only home Robert had. He hated the thought of maybe having to move, but these other gangs might just make that happen. They would have to find some way to deal with them. He sighed. It was times like these he almost wished he would kill. No you don't, he thought. Robert sighed again. No, he didn't, but it was nice to dream. Robert kicked of his socks and shirt and turned the light out. He flopped into bed and closed his eyes, though he didn't fall asleep till the sun started rising. (( i'm not real sure what time it is, but i figured that if you were doing a break in at night, then your sleep time would be part of the day ))

Jojo excused himself from the room, and said good night to those who were going to sleep. Jojo himself wasn't in the mood to sleep, and decided to tinker with the police scanner he had just "purchased". He wasn't sure how it worked at all, and mindlessly turned the knobs. Maybe I should ask Rowan to help me with this thing next time I see him. Suddenly Jojo heard a faint static noise coming from the scanner. Jojo gave the thing a few whacks and finally a voice could be heard. "atten---- 64 in progre-- -- -- West Street----" Jojo couldn't make out the rest of what the woman was saying, but he didn't need to know anymore. He turned it off, and tried to remember all the police codes he used to know from the old days. What the hell was a 64... simple robbery? It could one of the other gangs up to something. Maybe I should take this opportunity and see what we're up against. Jojo grabbed a black jacket from his small, nearly empty closet and slipped on his sneakers. He slowly opened his door and looked around to see if anyone was out of their rooms.
Jojo didn't mean to be sneaky about leaving home, but he didn't want anyone else to be in danger if something went wrong. Jojo exited his room and tiptoed near the front door, hoping no one would notice.

"And just where might you be going, little one?" At 6'5", everyone was little to Kurai.

Jojo froze in his tracks, and turned his head to look up at Kurai. "I'm going...to uh..." Jojo was a terrible liar, and everyone knew it. He sighed and gave in. "I just heard that there was a robbery in progress on West Street from my police scanner. I thought that it might be one of our rivals, and I figured that maybe I should investigate a little bit." Jojo shrugged his shoulders. "I know it's a bad idea, but... ya know..." He twidled his thumbs and smiled at Kurai. "Wanna go?"

"Both for my curiosity and to protect you," he said with a smile. Kurai was fond of Jojo, as one was fond of a friendly, useful puppy. "Just to look." And if it was Rei's gang... all the better. Or perhaps worse.

Jojo smiled broadly, and gave the thumbs up. "Thanks Kurai! Let's go before we miss the robbery!" Jojo threw on his black jacket, opened the front door, and ran down the alleyway towards West Street.
((Sorry that was short but I'm REALLY late for work! lol))

[[ aw that's okay... heh I'm at work right now.... >_> ]]
They dashed along familiar streets, it would be another hour before the predawn light would begin to illuminate them. They reached the corner of West Street and Sarritella Avenue, and stopped to consider the situation.
"C'mere," Kurai muttered, and gestured up. There was a handy fire escape staircase on the side of the building, which he immediately began to climb. They'd have a much better view, and better protection, from the rooftops.

Back in his room at the base, Rio sighed and put the folders away. He hadn't had much success in coming up with a new plan or place for them to rob. Kicking his boots off, he lay down on the bed, and grabbed the remote control to the large TV at the foot of his bed. He switched it on, and turned to the 5 o clock morning news. As he watched, a story on the national news caught his attention and he smiled widely.

Shizuka cracked open her eyes as the sound of a television playing echoed through the house. Sliding on her once kicked off slippers, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and dragged herself out of bed following the noise. The noise came from Rio's door. Taking a breath she knocked on the door nudging it slightly so it made room for her head to crane around the door. "Rio? Is that what I think it is...?" she said pointing to the television.

As Rowan was going to meet his contact for some new equipment he couldn't help but think he was being followed. Rowan took a different route. He went into an alley and up a fire escape. He saw a couple of guys walk down the alley slowly but they didn't stop or act like they were looking for someone at all. Rowan jumped to a few roof tops away and walked nonchalantly with a crowd. "Maybe I'm just imagining it. Or maybe they realized I noticed them and backed off. Either way they aren't on my tail anymore." Rowan Finally went back on route to meet his contact.
Rowan finally arrived and saw him. "Lex my man how are you doing."
"Fine, fine. What do ya need this time." He says with a British accent.
"Lets see, I need a few laptops, some new head sets, I could barely hear with the last ones. I need a few hardware firewalls. I mean the good stuff. Lets see a handful of new phones. You know unlocked, no GPS, nothing that will track us. And any new gadgets you got lying around. Oh right I might need to increase the security around the home. Nothing to big that draws any attention."
"Gotcha, gotcha. I'll throw in the good stuff for ya and i'll even give ya a discount, mate. Lets see here your lookin at eighteen."
"Eighteen. Well thats steep but I guess I can manage it. I thought you said there was a discount." Rowan says while pulling out stacks of money."
"What da Ell. That is a discount. Normally I would charge twenty three."
"I'm paying, I'm paying." Rowan gets it all ready and hands it to him."
"Thanks and enjoy your new stuff." He hands Rowan a duffle bag.
"Thanks Lex. I'll call you if I need anything else. Just keep your supplies replenished."
"HA HA HA. Ya know I will."

"Oh hey Shizuka," said Rio noticing her presence, he sat up in bed and swung his socked feet over the edge so that they were sitting on the floor. He motioned to one of the many chairs in his room that she could have a seat in. Noticing that she was asking him a question about the TV, he turned to face it as well. "Oh, yeah," he said smiling, "This is the Museum of World History, just completed construction and opening in New York two days from now." he said. "Lots of fantastic artifacts, and works of art of all kinds in there. It'd be a shame if someone was to rob them the night that they opened..." he caught Shizuka's eye and smiled slyly.

The heist was... interesting. Not their style, that's for sure. Alarms going off all over the place, police swarming the area... even Kurai, who loved being able to just smash his way out of a situation, could see that this was just too crude. They could have eliminated half the hassle by just being smarter.
"C'mon, Jojo, let's go..." Then he saw something, two dark figures break off from the crowd and head down an alley - towards their base! He frowned, tugged on Jojo's sleeve, then followed them silently.
[[ When I say 'their' I mean our hideout. Okay, does everyone agree that Raptor Dolus is friggin awesome and should be the official name of our band of theives? Because it's ridiculously catchy. ]]
