Hello friends and I would love to share my part in this great contest as organised by this wonderful community, I do hope you all enjoy my article and success in the challenge to all participants alike.
The bank alarm suddenly went off, the security doors closed tightly, and everyone was trapped inside the bank. Sirens were heard approaching from several directions, police officers were stationed nearby, and the agent ran down the street away from the scene, while curious people gathered around filming with their cell phones.
The customers scream in fear as they don't know what's going on. The bank manager tells them to calm down, that it's a false alarm, that there's no robbery, that in a matter of minutes the alarm will turn off and the system will open the doors. Steven, one of the customers who came to the bank that morning, feels that something is not right. His 30 years of experience as a detective told him that something was going on...
Steven was extremely curious, and this curiosity made him ask the manager, why such alarm came off, the branch manager cleared his doubts that all was fine. Steven had a strong instincts and spotted what looked like suspicion. The elevator ding was showing that someone was in there, when it was meant to be empty. Who was in there? Was he getting away with some bounty
Moreso, he aroused the suspicion in all, the architectural plan of the building lay bare before him, he traced the exit of the elevator, it was spotted to be an escape route which had a parking lot, the criminal was getting away already... "Not under my watch!" he firmly said. This was an operation and he masterminded the whole activity.

Interestingly, the elevator child open, all brows were raised, jaws dropped, fingers crossed and dead silence, all in curiosity.

The manager let his dog wander carelessly into restricted zone, from his office, it entered restricted area which indeed caused the alarm go blaring so hard. It ran for safety in the elevator and found itself a snack which it enjoyed which on transit to the car parking lot, it was indeed a false alarm and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
