The skies overhead turned dark with clouds. They seemed to form from nowhere, then collide into one mass, obscuring the sunlight as a torrential downpour began.

*Crim rose her face to the clouds as they gathered, and no sooner had she done so when droplets of rain began pummeling her face and body. Sputtering a few times at the water that went up her nose, she shook her head and attempted to bristle her already soggy tail. With a bitter look of a half-drowned cat, her brow furrowed and she turned to the mansion. Not in any mood to be outside in a rain heavy enough to send drops of water so painful, but not knowing quite who this man was, Crim reached to a pouch under her skirt and pulled out a cell phone, quite unaware that it looked like she had just reached up to her crotch. She flipped it open and quickly dialed Oxy's cell. Tapping her waterlogged toes in the puddle gathering about her feet, she listened to the phone ring and hoped that he would pick up.*

In the attic, Oxy had heard the sudden onset of the rain on the small skylight embedded into the roof. He glanced out momentarily, it had been alright weather before, not overly sunny, but certainly nowhere like this.
Shrugging, he put it down to a weather mage, as everyone knew mages are stupid.
When he heard his cell, Oxy immediately turned to the source of the noise on the bed. He walked swiftly over to it and swiped it up, spotting Crim's caller ID on the small screen briefly before it was at his ear and the 'Answer' button pressed.
"Y'allo? 'Sup?"

*A soft grunt of recognition came from Crim as she glanced up to the sky for a moment and then at the ground*
Oi, boss, sorry to bother you, but it looks like we have a customer. Could you come out and see him or should I let him in?

Oxy gave a small frown, his nose wrinkling. "Would said customer have mentioned the 'business' at all? Anything to indicate they know?"

*Crim shook her head subconsciously even though Oxy couldn't see it.*
Not yet, sir. Only that he was told to come here.

His face adopted a contemplative expression while he mulled over the thoughts in his jumbled mind.
Heist, now stranger, authority? Though some people did find out about the mansion's true secret by their own initiative, as Sarah had done by tracing his internet trails.
"Let him in."
As he disconnected the call, Oxy's thoughts strayed to Sarah. The computer station was complete, yet she was now gone without payment. Oxy shrugged. He had contacts, he could find her.

*Crim gave an affirmation and hung up her own cell phone, holding it in her hand as she motioned to the short wall by the gate. She still hadn't been given another ID since she accidently destroyed her last one during her battle with Raven*
Um, sir, the gate's not really working too well right now, so if you could kinda, jump over that wall there?

The turrets, currently trained on Maelthra, suddenly went limp. Oxy had only just remembered to switch them off via his wrist-comp.

((Darn. I was wondering whether you'd switch them off. xd ))
Seeing Shawn now working on the melee weapons, Vladar returned to his room briefly and came back down carrying what he suspected was a claymore. It must have been valuable too, for it to have been locked up in that bank. He sat down opposite Shawn, and began looking at what Shawn was doing.
"Any luck with the bindings?"

(( Claymore as in sowrd or mine? o_O ))
Oxy stopped over to his wardrobe, opening the doors slowly. He picked out some more respectable clothes than that which he had on now, and changed.

He sighed, and stepped out of the car. He pulled the key from a newly adorned Black hoodie and locked it up, and looked at the wall. He grinned, and jumped effortlessly over it.
"Happy?"

*Still a bit bitter about the rain, Crim rolled her eyes and motioned to the mansion. She easily could've risen a fire shield to repel the water dropping from the dark clouds above, but if he was indeed an enemy, she didn't want to waste any energy. She would've liked to warm up a bit though considering that she was getting cold and well, her body responded to that a way she didn't want noticed. So to remedy the matter the best she could in the situation, Crim crossed her arms over her chest and assumed an impatient expression*
Ecstatic, can we get going now?

A booming crack of thunder accompanied a large fork of lightning which snaked down to the ground what seemed to be a few miles away.
The rain became heavier still, then turned to small chunks of hail which crashed down to the ground, the sound eerily like an announcing drumroll.
