The Green Faces

Three men sat nervously on a couch with green paint smeared on their faces. Mike, Jack, and Tom had been hired to pull off a heist at a wealthy businessman's mansion. They had planned for months, studied the security system, and rehearsed every move. But something had gone terribly wrong.

As they made their way to the safe, the alarm was triggered, and they knew they had to move fast. They grabbed what they could and made a run for it. But they were too late. The police were already on their way.

They barely escaped with their lives, crashing through the window and jumping into the getaway car. As they drove away, they knew they had to lay low and figure out what had gone wrong.

When they arrived at their hideout, they carefully examined what they had stolen. To their disappointment, they found that it was only a fraction of what they had planned to take. They knew that something was off.

Mike suggested that they split up and try to find out who had betrayed them. Jack and Tom agreed, and they set off on their own. They knew that time was of the essence, and they had to act fast if they wanted to clear their names and get out of town alive.

Jack went to see an old friend who worked in the security industry. He showed him the plans they had made and asked for his help in figuring out what had gone wrong. His friend took one look at the plans and shook his head.

"You were set up," he said. "Someone knew exactly what you were going to do and tipped off the authorities."

Jack knew that his friend was right. He thanked him for his help and set off to find Tom.

Tom had gone to see a contact he had in the criminal underworld. He showed him the loot they had stolen and asked if he knew of anyone who would want to buy it. His contact took one look at the loot and shook his head.

"This is worthless," he said. "You were set up."

Tom was stunned. He knew that they had planned the heist perfectly. There was no way that someone could have known what they were going to do.

He thanked his contact for his help and set off to find Jack.

When they were reunited, they knew that they had to find out who had betrayed them. They spent the next few days following leads, talking to contacts, and piecing together what had happened.

Finally, they discovered that the wealthy businessman they had tried to rob had been working with a rival gang. He had offered them a deal: he would give them a cut of the loot if they helped him catch the thieves.

The rival gang had set them up, tipped off the authorities, and made off with most of the loot. They had been used as pawns in a game they didn't even know they were playing.

Mike, Jack, and Tom knew that they had to act fast. They couldn't let the rival gang get away with what they had done. They knew that they were outnumbered and outgunned, but they were determined to get their revenge.

They spent the next few days planning their attack. They studied the rival gang's movements, planned their entry, and prepared for the worst.

When the day came, they drove to the rival gang's hideout and stormed in. The gang was caught off guard, and they didn't stand a chance. Mike, Jack, and Tom fought with everything they had, taking out one gang member after another.

Finally, they confronted the leader of the rival gang. He tried to make a run for it, but they caught up with him. He begged for mercy, but they showed him none. They made him pay for what he had done, and they took back what was rightfully theirs.

As they drove away from the rival gang's hideout, Mike, Jack, and Tom knew that they had done what they had set out to do. They had cleared their names, taken revenge on those who had wronged them, and proven that they were not to be underestimated. They knew that they had each other's backs, and that was all they needed to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
