The Boys Disappear

“We got caught.”
Thomas said calmly as he and George entered the game warehouse.Though they were only hackers they were almost completely drenched in sweat.
“What?! How?” Rodney gasped. The warehouse was now full of movement.
This time, George answered,” We don’t know exactly, but we got locked out of Huphermen’s database. We hacked into the cops’ radio waves and they’re coming. We’ve gotta’ get out of here.”
“Plan A?” Jamal asked.
“Plan A.” They all agreed.
For five minutes, the men gathered their things, paying no attention to each other. Finally, they met in the center of the warehouse. They divided up the rest of the money and exchanged good-byes and left.

The cops arrived minutes later, but it was too late. The Boys were gone.
