PAYDAY: Equestrian Heists

The van turns a sharp corner and Vlad stands there waving his hoof lazily, turning around he walks past his two gunmen and shakes his head. The police were still in the 247 gathering what they could for evidence. Vlad pulled out a cigarette and lit it sucking in the toxin before blowing it out. Walking down the side of the street he waves to one of the cops and beams them a fake smile. The stallion rolls his eyes and takes another puff from his smoke. Walking up to a pony he quickly swipes their cell phone and opens it up and begins typing. Vlad leans up against a wall with the phone to his ear. A pony on the other end picks up and Vlad smiled to himself.

"It's good to hear you again my friend. I have some news that may interest you, something of benefit to you friend" He stands still and waves to a passing pony taking a puff of his smoke again waiting for a response on the phone.

"Alright yeah, you know what to do"

................................................................................................................................................................

Twilight rips off the mask and lunges into a hug with Sunset Shimmer, the mares all had big smiles on their faces. Pinkie Pie stared at the large bag of cash, she was curious onto how it got in the van. Rarity was sure it was thrown in by the stallion who forced them to leave so quickly after the cops arrived. Twilight separates the hug and looks to her friends and beams a smile.

"I can't believe we did it!! Yeah, Alright!" She looked at the bag of cash and levitated it over to her and giggled at it. Rarity shook her head and stepped forward.

"Even if I agree that we should do that again because....wow....it felt so good" She smiled and looked over at the cash herself. "We almost got arrested, the cops were called. That was not doing it or succeeding. We didn't even get our revenge on Twilight's ex-boss" Pinkie nodded and smiled.

"That was the whole reason we were there riiight! then how come we didn't do it, I mean everything seemed to be going as planned what in a cherry chimichanga happened?" Pinkie squeaked as she spoke really confused and still feeling on edge and guilty to be apart of this. "Everything was going perfect right?" Twilight blushed in embarrassment. Sunset grinned and nudged the alicorn.

"Everything was going fine until our little princess here tripped. A pony saw here and...you can probably guess what happened after that" Sunset spoke and nudged Twilight again. Twilight blushed being called a princess, even if that rank was extinct and nowhere to be seen in Equestria it made her feel warm and important to be called one. "However it wasn't a complete loss, we got paid! More than any paycheck could ever give" Pinkie giggled and snorted at the end of it. The pink mare wiggled her tail in the air and smiled wide.

"Well that is obvious, when you take it all your going to get more then what you would normally be given. Duuuh~!" Rarity began to rub her chin and moved one eye to look at the bag of money.

"Who was that stallion. The one with the funny voice, I think he is the reason we have this large bag of cash" she blushed, Rarity liked his voice. It was strong  and very alluring to her but she was more focused on the money right now. "Who was..." They all squeak when out of nowhere Twilight's phone rings. Twilight quickly pulled it up and up to her ear.

"Hello? This is Twilight Sparkle. How can I help you this afternoon?" a chuckle came from the other end, it was the stallion they were just talking about.

"Hello my friends, enjoying my gift? I hope it is too your liking" Vlad smiles on the other end of the line taking another puff from his smoke. "Thankfully the cash helped me find you, a friend of mine has been looking for a new group of criminals.."Twilight interrupts and points her hoof at the phone holding it out in front of her face.

"Hey! I am not a criminal. We are not criminals" Twilight growled and her friends looked at one another and raised a brow now feeling very worried not knowing who Twilight was talking too. "Who are you?" Vlad takes another smoke and chuckles again.

"Listen, Twilight, thanks for your name but you are very wrong. Isn't robbing a place something criminals do?" Vlad grinned and tapped on the cell phone. "Nopony does something like that just once, a close friend of mine would like to speak with you tonight." Twilight begins to pace biting her lip. "I am sure you are familiar where the Tastehoof Club?" Twilight raises a hoof and nods to herself.

"Yes, I am aware of the Tastehoof, what about it?"

"I would like you and your crew to meet me there tonight. After all, you were on my ground, my area and you decided it would be okay to rob it. You could say you owe me for that, meet me there tonight" Vlad then hung up and Twilight pulled away from the phone and stared at the phone for awhile before clicking end. Rarity tilted her head and coughed.

"What was that, darling?"

......................................................................................................................................................

Twilight stepped into the Tastehoof tightening her tie. Rarity gulped and began to shake as they entered the club. Pinkie Pie was hoping looking at them all as they wore the tuxedos. They were all wearing them because they got another call from Vlad. He told them to get suits and that makeup on the flanks just wouldn't work. Twilight turned the corner entering the dance floor area. Vlad was sitting at a table on rim of the floor, he had his head resting on his hoof and a drink near the other. Two ponies stood next to him with glasses on and he waved them over as they started his way. Rarity squeaked and nudged Twilight.

"I don't like this. Why are we doing this? Why are we here? Do I look okay? Oh my mane feels knotted! Is it Twilight!" Rarity began to freak out and stopped moving. Twilight turned around and looked at the Unicorn.

"Calm down, you look fine!! We are here to talk to him, then we are leaving okay? Calm down, okay? Stay cool, we don't know what this is all about. I am just sorry for whatever bad happens from here. Its all on me, okay, lets do this" Twilight turned back around and took a seat on the other end of the table. Her friends finding places close by to sit so they could be part of this, the table barely was able to have them all around it. Vlad raised a brow and set a phone on the table. Twilight looks at the two stallions in glasses.

"Is one of these your friend that wanted to speak with us?" Twilight smiles and wipes the top of her head and forces a smile. Vlad shakes his head and taps the screen of his phone. The stallion grins and slides the phone over taping the screen making it on speaker phone.

"Hello gang~ you don't need to know much about me. I'm Bain, I am the guy your asking about" Twilight moves her head back and raises a brow. "Don't ask why I am talking over a phone, I am a guy of secrets" Rarity coughs and keeps a straight face.

"Bain? Why wouldn't you just come here and..."

"I said not to ask, I hear you have been stomping around Vlad's ground" Bain chuckles and could be heard moving around in a chair. "I like it, its about time somepony gets more police attention then Vlad" Vlad sits forward and talks into the phone.

"Old stomping ground, let me remind you, OLD stomping ground" Vlad sat back down and crossed his hooves, "Proceed with your mocking and bad jokes" Twilight leans back in her chair and wiggles her wings inside her suit. She bought a regular suit to cover the wings, she just looked like a unicorn now. Bain clears his throat and begins to speak again.

"Well girls, I apologies you never got revenge on your old boss" Twilight moves forward and shakes her head and taps the phone with her hoof as if she was confronting Bain in person.

"Hey how the heck did you know about that!" Twilight huffed and Sunset placed a hoof on her shoulder pulling her back down into her seat. "How did he?"

"I know lots of things, your revenge will come soon. You need more practice before you return to your old lives. If your old lives are what you want, I am sure you said you wanted to do this robbery thing again in your escape van"  Twilight grunts again hearing him say something again that she thought only she and her friends knew. "I have an offer for you, how would you girls like to be apart of something BIG?"  The three mares nodded and Vlad leaned forward sliding them their ski masks.

"Lets start here" He grins and gets out of his chair heading to the back of the building.
