Over the next several days, Luis’s apartment was a hive of activity as Scott directed the preparations for the heist. Luis had the job of cruising the local electronics stores and acquiring components. He also hit up a locksmith shop, pulling together a box of important supplies.

Kurt had to spend a half day sitting outside an industrial laundry facility waiting for the prime moment to sneak up and grab a uniform out of the large roller bins that were always being moved around the loading bay. Finally, when he got the chance, he walked away with the uniform of a communications technician for a company called Tricomm. That would be his cover.

Dave was responsible for getting a new license plate without any connection to criminal activity for the van. He made his way through the parking lot of a shopping mall and, when no one was looking, stole what he needed.

Back at the apartment, Luis handed off the electrical components to Kurt, who inspected them, then, pleased, started to assemble them together. Simultaneously, Dave, who was going to be the getaway driver, used Internet printouts to map multiple escape routes in case they were needed. He was going to have to drive each one several times to familiarize himself with the roads.

Finally, everything was ready, everything was planned.

That evening it was “go time.”

Luis parked the van a few blocks from the Pym mansion.

Kurt hopped out of the van and scaled the telephone pole that held the lines that led into the house. Since he was wearing his stolen Tricomm uniform, any passersby would assume he was just a technician doing maintenance on the line. But that was the total opposite of the truth. Kurt carefully installed a wireless device to the junction box, blocking the circuit.

When it was done, Kurt spoke to the others over his headset. “Landlines cut, cell signals jammed. No one will be making a distress call tonight,” he said.

Down in the van, Dave sat at the wheel, ready to scram at a moment’s notice. Luis was in the passenger seat, and ran a quick test of the headsets that, like Kurt, they were all wearing.

“Comm check,” said Luis into the headset.

“Check,” echoed Scott from the backseat.

“Check,” confirmed Dave.

Luis looked at Scott in the backseat. “If it goes south in there, we’ll know. We got your back.”

“Don’t worry,” said Scott. “That’s not going to happen.”

Scott pulled his hood over his head and stepped out of the van.

Luis smiled. “I like it when he gets cocky,” he said to Dave. “I’m telling you, he’s the real deal.”

Slipping up to the grounds of the Pym house, Scott easily scaled the gate, and then climbed up the outer wall, using gutters and drainpipes to pull himself all the way up to an alarm box hanging near the top of the second story. Hanging on to the wall with one hand, Scott opened the box with the other and flipped a switch inside it.

“All right,” he said over the headset. “The window detectors are deactivated.
