The trick is this: don't get caught

Who: Nathan Drake, Harry Flynn and Chloe Frazer
When: March 7th
Where: Region 5
What: Chloe and Nate get hired to do some thieving. Little do they know, Harry's been hired for the same job. This worked out so well the last time they all took on a job together what could possibly go wrong?
Warnings: language, theft, tiddies and arse.



[There's something strangely comforting about being out in the dead of night, dressed all in black and waiting in the shadows for a contact. If you weren't concentrating too hard on the hotch-potch of architectural styles, the unfamiliar constellations and the odd, distinctly inhuman noise from the distance, it would be easy to believe that this scene is happening somewhere on Earth.

But, as Chloe's all too aware, it's not Earth. A client's a client though, and getting herself established is all well and good but it's no good putting herself forward as one of the best drivers in the business if there's no business.

Fortunately, opportunity knocks in mysterious ways.

In this case, the opportunity happens to be a four foot seven alien going by the name Vinnie. She had been frequenting some of the shadier bars in the area, seeking out contacts and looking for work, when she'd been tapped up by a nervous looking client called Jibjerneen who'd filled her in on the job.

The target was a very striking fellow who was was as wide as he was tall, liked to speak with the same clipped accent as a 1940s news broadcaster and had a penchant for wearing garishly coloured velvet smoking jackets that could easily double for a small tent in the case of an emergency. He went by the name Vinnie vin Goth (and it was a struggle for Chloe to keep a straight face when that nugget of information came out). Her contact informed her that he was a self styled 'collector', a connoisseur of off-world artefacts, and who happened to live in a suitably ostentatious pad right in the heart of Region 5.

"He's got somethin' of my buddy's," Jibjerneen had told Chole. "And I need you to help my break-in guy get it back."

What Chloe needed to do, as driver, was to provide a getaway vehicle and her services behind the wheel, and ideally some muscle to help the break-in guy get into Vinnie's heavily fortified domicile. Break-in guy had the plans and the brain power to mastermind it all, apparently. Chloe hadn't met him yet and wasn't exactly thrilled that he was an unknown quality, but in case of emergency it's always best to have a specialist at improvising, blowing shit up and stealing at hand and luckily she knew just the guy.

Which is why she and Nate are making their way through the dark streets to the rendezvous point where they're meeting their third man. Chloe's behind the wheel of a small, dark car - an open-top Jeep type- and she's grinning from ear to ear at how silently the engine's running. Alien technology rocks, no one will be able to hear them in this baby.]


So what's the official party line for Elena on this one? She knows we're on a job together, right?
