It had been said with no introduction, no warning, and silence followed. Antonio and Francis stared at their friend as though he'd grown an extra head.
"And why are we going to do that?" Antonio finally ventured.
"Simple," Gilbert said, as though the decision that a bank needed robbing and they would be the ones to do it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Francis, you were saying the other day that you could use a break from the ol' routine. Antonio, you were saying that you never get to go anywhere since Kirkland wrecked your car... again. And I know that I've been going out of my mind because things are so damn boring. So we're going on a vacation."
Francis shook his head. "Ah, I'm afraid there's a small problem with that, mon cher…"
"Bingo; we're flat broke. If we want to do anything, we need money," Gilbert said. After a paused, he added as an afterthought, "Plus, it'll be fun."
Silence fell over the trio, and Antonio was again the one to break it.
"Which bank?"

The rest of the week had been spent in careful preparation. Plans were made, escape routes mapped out, and the bank to hit selected carefully. Just in case, Francis had said, they shouldn't go after a local place. They picked one in the next town over, and sent Francis to scout. Twenty-four hours and just as many restraining orders later, it was decided that maybe Antonio should be the scout instead.
By the end of the week, they knew all the inner workings of the bank. Antonio could report with accuracy when and where the guards patrolled, who had access to the safe and who didn't, how Tex took his coffee, and with whom Mary was cheating on her husband. He'd even become acquainted with the local sheriff.
By the end of the week, they all knew their roles. They knew who would do what, who would say what, and how to make it all work. They knew the when, the where, the what, and the how.
By the end of the week, the plan was perfect.
"There's a problem," Antonio decided.
"No way," Gilbert argued. "The plan is awesome, and with a plan this awesome, it's impossible for there to be a problem."
Antonio shook his head, steadfast. "All three of us have to be in the bank."
"Right. And?"
"I see," Francis said, picking up on what Antonio had been getting at. "Someone needs to remain in the car. This will require a speedy exit, non?"
Slowly, Gilbert smirked. "It's not a problem," he insisted. "I know just the man for the job."

And that was why Lovino was in a car outside a bank in the next town over, waiting for three morons to come out while a cop went in.
