“No!” insisted Becca, “We lost two people on the last job we don’t want any more friends killed.”
Becca walked out of the room and left the forge. She slithered into her Lotus and sped off.
Becca turned onto Frenchay Road and a police car pulled up behind her. She climbed out of her car.
“What seems to be the problem?”
“You are arrested on suspicion of theft!”
Becca’s head was pushed inside of the police car. The car drove away and Becca’s car was left there. The police car pulled up outside the police station. Becca was pulled out of the car and taken to the chief superintendent.
“Becca, we know that you have been part of a gang of bank robbers, we found your finger prints at the last scene. If you help us catch your other team members we will acquit you of your charges.”
“What information do I have to give you?” she inquired.
“Where they are planning the job and where the next job is going to be?” the superintendent replied.
Sam, John and Jeremy are still talking at the forge.
“So, are you two still on for the job?” Jeremy asked.
“Of course, I could do with the extra cash” John said confidently. Sam shrugged as if he was saying yes.
Jeremy had planned the job very well. They had a get away car that had revolving number plates for a smooth exit. They had got fake identities to protect them from the police finding them and they had guns. Lots of guns meant no one would touch them.
The plan was for Sam to drive Jeremy and John to the outside of the bank. John and Jeremy would go into the bank and make a withdrawal from the cash machine. They would pull out their handguns and rob the bank. It would be quick. They were only going to be in there for a maximum of 2 minutes, any more and that would give time for the police to catch them.
Back at the police station Becca is being interviewed by the superintendent.
“So my guess is it’s gonna be a hit and run op” said Becca, “well that’s how it always used to work.”
“So you’re saying that we should have undercover agents inside the bank,” replied the officer.
“All I know is that it is planned for the 28th and is going to take place at about 3 pm to avoid lots of people being around.”
Jeremy walked in before John. John walked to the corner of the bank where he was hidden under the security camera. He pulled out his gun and put on his balaclava.
“Get Down!” he shouted.
Everyone dived to the floor. The shutters came over the booths and there was silence.
“Drop your weapon” the policeman called.
Jeremy hit the ground. John stood and stared. He started firing erratically. One shot, two shots and then a third. Another shot could be heard. John fell to the floor. Jeremy lay silently until he felt the coldness of the officer’s gun on his back.
“She grassed us up” were John’s murmured last words.
