BANK ROBBERY - Episode 2

The gun shots ceased, only to give way for wailing voices. Loud and clear, the crying and agonizing voices of David’s colleagues could be heard through the walls, already mourning their colleague.

Bank Robbery - Episode 1 - For those who missed it.

David’s motionless body lay on the ground. Some bloody spots were clearly visible on his immaculate white shirt; his sensory organs all blanked out from the shock. Though he looked lifeless in every sense, David was still alive as a kick to his chest served as the CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) needed to jump start his heart, calling him back from the journey of death on which he unconsciously embarked.

Still breathing but unconscious from the shock and fear of death, he was dragged off the door way, and left in a sitting position by the wall, his head hanging on his neck, seriously bent and falling to his right, with trickles of blood and saliva free falling from the corner of his mouth. He had earlier bitten down on his tongue due to fear and it was bleeding.

Although his life was still intact, his body was in shambles and his spirit lost. He was experiencing robbers for the first time and the trauma has overwhelmed him.

The robbers, now very furious, fired multiple shots at the door, but to no avail. The door was quite a fortress but there was a limit to what every fortress cold take, so the manager kept praying and hoping that the police would come. Unfortunately, they didn't. They weren't even in sight.

The robbers then resorted to the use of explosives which brought down the fortified door in an unbelievable manner.

Thick dust and smoke took over the vicinity and with the sound from the explosion still rocking the brains of the bankers, as some of them no doubt had concoction from the blast, the robbers, in commando style invaded the banking halls rounding up everybody in the building to the main hall.

Show time said the leader of the gang, then he added; I have only 17 minutes to spend here. If you cooperate with me I could spend less time and leave; but if you choose to behave otherwise or try to be a hero, I will re-paint this banking hall with your bloods. Now who and where is the manager?

Mr. Okon shaking as if the surface on which he stood was experiencing a tremor, humbly identified himself as the manager, and was quickly asked to call on the vault officer. Without a second delay, they were commanded to break the vault’s combination, and without hesitation, they obeyed.

Taking a look into the vault, the leader of the gang smiled and said; just like we were promised, the foreign currencies are there. Load them up boys.

Having robbed the vault clean of the foreign currencies, it was time to go. The leader with a grim face turned to the manager and said, you shouldn't have disobeyed me initially. The manager, looking remorseful and even with his begging posture did not attract the mercy of the gang leader as he immediately pulled out his gun, pointed it at him and started his rhetoric counts; five, four, three, two, one, ka ka ka ka ka (gun shots).
