Quoted By:
Surprising everyone around and behind you, both dump trucks made sudden and unannounced stops in front of manhole covers and sewer grates. After which, said trucks would raise their trailers, dumping massive amounts of sand and cash into the sewers below. Judging from their expressions, the range of emotions playing across the faces of the onlookers was anywhere between curiosity, amusement, anger and absolute shock.
None of them knew about the little metal carts that your crew had set up down there. Now, White Rabbit wasn’t quite precise enough to judge the exact location where you would make this drop, but she had gotten it pretty close. Her self satisfaction was made entirely evident by the enthusiastic grin she had as she fiddled with her many wristwatches.
While this method wouldn’t help you to offload your entire haul, it would certainly help to lighten the load. Funnily enough, the actual bank robbery itself was the easy part. Now, you had to actually get away with it.
—-------
Over the next few minutes, you, Cat, Prowler and White Rabbit were stuffing bills into bags, carrying them off to predetermined drop points. For each trip, you carried as much as you possibly could without it interfering with your mobility. And for someone like you, who had a significantly larger weight capacity than everyone else on your crew(aside from Flint), that meant far less trips for you.
Every now and again, cops would shoot at you as you left, but their aim wasn’t nearly good enough to actually land a solid hit on any of you. But surprisingly enough, that wasn’t even your biggest problem.
The two largest issues here were communication, and mobility.
Since the trucks were constantly moving, in different directions sometimes, communication at this stage was crucial. You all needed to know exactly where everyone was at all times. Flint included.
Every now and again, the big lug would reappear in a dramatic way, bursting out of the sewers to cut off your pursuers. And that led to your other problem: Keeping the trucks going.
After a while, cops started laying road spikes and trying to shoot out your tires. A flat tire here meant that you would get overwhelmed almost immediately. So, you had to change up your strategy.
Instead of devoting your team to solely transporting money, you had to take turns distracting the cops. This meant either disarming them, webbing their windshields, blowing out their tires or disabling their cars in exotic and creative ways. You even had to use a few web bombs for this.
But despite all this effort you were putting in, you all knew that this couldn’t go on for much longer. Eventually, you would either get very unlucky, or an even bigger fish would swim over to ruin your day. You doubted that skateboard guy was the only one out on patrol today.
By this point, one of the trailers was almost completely empty, and the other was a little under half full.
