BANG! A bullet hit the back window of the BMW M5 and all three of them dropped back into the car and Bruce once again revved the car and left the police cars behind. The police cars could never compete with the BMW M5 in speed. After a long drive they stopped outside a big bungalow. Bruce pressed the button on a remote and the garage door opened with a buzz. Bruce parked the car while the others went in the bungalow.
“It was a bloody tough day today,” remarked Beck. “The police just increase in number and seem to get tougher after every robbery.”
“They are on our tail now, we should be at full alert,” claimed Dan. “They search for us day and night.”
“Whatever it is, it is all over now,” responded Beck.
But he was wrong it had hardly begun, and everyone knew that including Beck. Everyone knew that Brad, the officer in charge of the mission was never going to give up until he had finished the most wanted criminals in the country Dave, Dan, Beck and Bruce.
“Just get the bag and check the money out will ye, we haven’t got time for this nonsense,” thundered Dave.
Bruce went to get the black bag and everyone had their eyes settled on it. Bruce unzipped the bag and they were in for a surprise. The bag was full of blank papers instead of notes!
How can this happen? Who could have tricked them? This was what went through everyone’s minds. They were sure they had checked the bag before they got out of the bank and it was full of crispy bank notes. Then how can the money change to blank papers? Everyone sat down to think about this calamity that had struck them not only the first time but four times in a row. Someone was playing games with them!
The sun was setting and the men were deep in thoughts about their lives, about their future. They had been deprived of something their lives depended on. The money could have freed them from the grasp of the godfather forever and they could have sated a new life as good people.
Dave, Dan, and Beck never really wanted to turn to the crime world but incidents persuaded them to. The three brothers were orphans since the age of ten. They grew up in the streets and one day they met another orphan called Bruce and they become really good friends. They use to live by begging from people in the streets because they had no one to look after them. One day a really high classed person came to them when they were all around the age of fourteen years old. He told them that he will give them a nice home to live in, and they will be given good food as well.
Dave denied his invitation because he knew that the man was none other than Edward the godfather. He knew that his works were bad and evil. Bruce who was a quiet but a greedy person persuaded his friends to join Edward and they agreed with him after many arguments. The godfather’s intention was obviously to use them for his dirty works and after the first robbery the greed for money fell in their hearts and they started to adapt the bad ways of Edward. Dave, Dan and Beck still had a little feeling at the back of their hearts that they were going to do something bad that they will regret later and that is what happened exactly.
Once when Bruce was sent to threaten someone for not paying money to the godfather, Beck, Dan and Dave were sent to kill a woman named Michael because she had been causing problems in the godfather’s gang. They succeeded in killing her but after they killed her they saw a necklace in her neck that seemed familiar. It was the same necklace their mum used to wear and she had given to their sister! That is when they realised that they were caught up in a big mess.
Dave, Dan and Beck were all in tears when they realised what they had done. They knew that they had to give up this work right now and so they asked the godfather to remove them from the gang. But the godfather never really cared about their sister because all he wanted was money. The godfather knew that the three brothers were his best men and if he let them leave his gang then his gang will tremble.
He still agreed to let them go, but he wanted them to use them for his last job. He wanted them to steal a very rich bank and give all the stolen money to him. They rejected to do that but then he threatened them by saying he will kill them if they deny. They had no other choice but to agree.
They robbed a bank three times but when they will open the bag after the robbery all they would see was blank papers. The godfather acted as thought he was being generous to them and gave them a last chance. But now it happened again, and they had no money to pay him which meant they had to prepare for their death!
“Dan, what did you do with the bag when I gave it to you,” said Dave staring in to his eyes.
“I…I…don’t know really I just left it near my feet in the car and took it in when we reached the house,” replied Dan unconfidently.
“Bruce did you do anything to it,” asked Dave.
No answer. Dave looked around to where Bruce was sitting but he was missing!
“Where is he,” demanded Dave.
“He was said he needs to go to the toilet, but that was a long time ago.” replied Beck and Dan together.
They searched for him everywhere in the house but could not find him and his car was gone as well. Where could he have gone? Before they could go any further with the search for Bruce disaster stroked. BANG! BANG! BANG! Bullets were fired from the outside and a voice was heard on the microphone.
“This is the police, we have got your house surrounded, and you have no chance of escaping.” “Surrender or we open fire.”
The announcement was repeated once again and all three of them raced from one window to another. It was true there was no chance to escape; it was fully surrounded by police. What the police never thought of was the garage. The garage had a door to it from the inside of the house and there was a car parked there as well. Dan, Beck and Dave ran to the garage as the police started to fire at their house.
Brad, the police officer, heard the starting noise of the engine. He realized that he had missed a spot and ordered the team to gather around the garage but it was too late the garage broke with a smash and a black Porsche Cayenne jumped out. The police started to chase them close behind and this time they were prepared for them. The gang’s skilled driver Bruce wasn’t there to help them dodge the police. The police shot their car and the Porsche went out of control but luckily it stopped after a few spinning and Dave, Beck and Dan ran out of the car. They did their best to fight but as you know crime pays its price and they were all killed by the fearless police officer, Brad.
The news was on every channel, every newspaper and every street of the country. The most wanted criminals were killed. Bruce was watching the television with Edward and laughed at the stupidity of his friends. He had betrayed his friends for money, he had made them come towards the criminal world, and he had helped Edward use them for the last and the biggest robbery in their life and then to take the money of them. He had to pay for this. Someone had to kill him and the godfather. That someone was always at their tail, and he will not stop until he had finished the godfather and Bruce.
This story shows us that it does not matter who tells you to follow the bad path you should not follow it. You should not listen to your friend if they insist you to follow the bad path especially if you know it is the bad path because you are surely to regret later. Crime pays for its price.
THE END
