Seeing that everybody was more or less ready, the middle-aged ringleader gave a final speech. "Alright, everyone, listen up."
He didn't continue until everybody had stopped to look at him. "Tonight, we have to be fast and hard. Don't get caught up with the cops. We'll break in, find the target, and evacuate. If anyone is injured and caught, keep your mouths shut. Everybody will supervise the transfer of your share to your account. Got it?"
The criminals replied with discordant voices, "Got it."
Then, everybody looked up.
Because a cold, mechanical "Got it" had also rung out above their heads just now.
Some guys with quicker reflexes pointed their guns at the source of the voice without hesitation.
But they didn't see anything out of place.
There wasn't any trace of a person on the empty factory's steel beams.
