WHO: Leverage Team (Nate Ford, Sophie Devereaux, Eliot Spencer, and Parker), Claude Rains, Noah Bennet, Peter Petrelli, and Mark Davidson [NPC!bank manager]
WHAT: The Bank Heist Job
WHEN: Early morning - around 9AM
WHERE: The First National Bank of Colligo
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress
NOTES: Given the size, and intricacy, of this scene, it's going to be done in sub-threads as various characters are needed at various places within the scene, at different times.

The sun rose in a clear blue sky, the start of a new day. New opportunities. And, for a handful of the displaced people in the city of Colligo, a new con.

The plan was simple enough, in a very Nate sort of way. Everyone knew their roles and everyone present was professional enough not to deviate from them unless necessary. The paperwork announcing Parker as the new bank teller and Eliot as the new security guard were in order and being gripped firmly in Mark Davidson's shaking hand as he stared at the picture of the guard. The fact that it was the same thug from before - the one whose boss wanted his money back and wanted it now - told him that something was amiss. His time was running short, if not up. He had to get that money, and fast.

Quickly, his gaze flickered to the blond bank teller's picture. She didn't look familiar. She could just be a new transfer from another branch. Or possibly one of the temps he'd hired at random a week before. Or she could be a plant just like the guard. Anything was feasible when dealing with these sorts of lowlifes, Mark was sure. And as he wiped his hand across his sweaty brow, he knew that no matter what, putting this off anymore simply wasn't an option. He needed cash. He needed it fast. His gaze strayed toward the vault of the very bank he was entrusted to run.

Just like that, the mark was in place. The trap was set. Now it was time for the game to begin, with the Leverage team doing what they did best - and this time, with a few new people in their midst. And as the clock at the church down the street began to chime nine times, signaling the start of a new day of banking, one by one they began to arrive with the manager none the wiser of what lay ahead, for both him, and his bank.

Parker's outfit made her itch. It was expensive, and nice, and looked like something someone who worked in an office would wear. She looked like someone who worked in an office. Professional and proper, which was great. That was the part she was playing. Professional bank teller Katherine... something or other. She wasn't sure, but didn't really care. She knew her first name. That was what mattered.

Straightening down the front of her blouse as she stood just around the corner from the bank, she went over in her mind the role she'd been assigned. Go in, be a teller, wait on Nate-the-customer, open the vault, get yelled at, cry, then clear the vault out of everything inside. It seemed easy enough, she had already decided. Except for the crying part. She was still unsure if she could pull that off.

But Noah seemed to think she could. And Nate wouldn't have suggested it if he didn't think she could, too. And considering they were the two most influential men in her life, whose opinions actually mattered to her, she supposed she could, too.

Slipping the small earpiece that wasn't like Hardison's but was still enough like it (and in some ways better, she had to admit) into her ear, she cleared her throat softly and then spoke in little above a murmur.

"Okay, I'm going in." As she spoke, she reminded herself that she could do this. As she rounded the corner and stepped into the bank, she told herself that she could be Katherine... whoever she was, for however long it took to get this done. And as she smiled at the woman who greeted her and was shown to her assigned window, she assured herself that she could play the part, and steal the money, and help the people of this city.

She just really wished her outfit didn't make her itch.

	"Hello, miss." Nate said, that nervous smile back. "I'd like to make a withdrawl." He said tapping on the paper he'd already placed in front of her. Then his smile widened. "For a ring ... please." Now the show would really begin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
