Tory thumbed her mobile phone and, after several months, assembled a cracked team of heisters: Turbo Lean (the speedster), Andreas Ut (the fireworks expert), Shirt Disease (the unlucky loser), Ellen Atroy (the face that lunched on a thousand ships), Gaven Fluh (to be announced), and Larry, the maths whiz.

He had secured the assistance of Tory's daughter, who was also his own child: Looch Adore-Pips. Tory had raised her eyebrows at this member, but kept mum. Sweet.
