The New Yorker's Choices

Repossession (Part 3)

Back at Rob's house it is quiet, not a sound to be heard. However the light in the master bedroom turns on and Gabrielle is awake and is about to get up and walk downstairs to get a glass of water. She turns over and notices that Rob isn't in bed. "AH". She quietly screamed. She got up and looked around the the second floor of the house, going from room to room. First she checked the bathroom outiside her room. It was neatly tiled with a small red washcloth and fine marble sink to the right. On the right was the shower which was similar to the floor only with light beige tiles. Gab left the room and peaked through Bruce's door to see if Rob was in their. The only sign of life in Bruce's room was Bruce himself sleeping quietly. She walked downstairs and noticed he wasn't in the Kitchen or the living room. She walked by the office and peaked in and noticed he wasn't their either. She also peaked in the downstairs bathroom which was almost similar to the upstairs bathroom only without a shower, instead had a white marble bathtub with a silver nozzle. Her eyes widened even more then when she found out Rob was gone to begin with. She quickly ran upstairs and unplugged her cell phone from the charger, went to her contacts and called Rob. RING RING.

Back at the thrift store the Athens gang is outside the store getting ready to break in. RING RING. Someone's phone started ringing. Everyone looked around and noticed it was Rob's. "Forget it i'm not answering we have a job to do". Rob explained. RING RING RING. The phone stopped dialing for a second. Then the voice mail started to play. "Rob where the hell are you come home right now. Rob I know you can hear me. Goddamn it Rob answer me right now". Gabrielle said while chocking on tears. "Forget it Rob whatever issue you have just sort it out yourself, I'm leaving, call me back when you grow up". The voice mail said. Everyone looked at Rob in concern. "It's nothing. Just a fight we've been having". Rob said. "Boy you better make things right with you're girl man". Theodore said. Everyone then took their gazes off of Rob and were ready to break into the store. "Alright hand me the crowbar". Posiedon said while kneeling down by a window big enough to drive a car through. He then looked at everyone in concern. "Who was supposed to bring the crowbar? Damn it guys how are we supposed to get in now". Posiedon yelled. "Like this". Hercules said while pulling out his heavy pistol and shot directly into the glass. BANG. The glass shattered. Everyone looked at Henry in disbelief. "Come on boss man said it. We got a job to do". He said while climbing in through the window to get in the store. EEERRRR EEEERRR EEEEERR EEEEEEEEEERRR. "Oh shit we triggered an alarm". Apollo yelled. "Yeah no shit". Zeus said as they ran into the store. The interior of the store was a hard dark wood floor with a booth up front to pay you're ticket and the miscellaneous section in the back. Next to the miscellaneous section for merchandise on the left was the historical artifacts and on the right was the jewlery section. "Come on to the right". Rob said running to the jewlery. Soon there was a short scrawny man in night guard uniform with nightstick in hand while everyone was pointing guns at him. "F F freeze or I uh". The man in the uniform said. "Pft too easy". Hercules said while aiming his gun at the guard. "No no no no no wait". Rob said while slowly and slightly nudging the gun down. Take him and other guards hostage it will be easier". Rob said. The guard was still aiming his nightstick at the robbers. "Alright change in plans uh Ethan and Hermes you guys go to the security room and watch the cameras while Posiedon, Apollo, Nicholas and I will keep the guards hostage uh you are there anymore guards"? Rob asked the guard. "Y y yes and the police will be here shortly so". The guard nervously said. "Okay so everyone else you guys focus on getting into the safe you pick one and put the money in the bags alright". Rob said. Soon Rob's minature group of hostage holders walked toward the guard while aiming guns at him. "Bring us to the other guards". Rob ordered to the guard. The guard guided them obediantly to the securtiy room. It was a small square room wit many screens showing the exterior and the interior. Hermes already disarmed the other guard in the room who was a scrawny as the other. Hermes quickly handcuffed both guards with an extra set in the drawer. "Warn us if any cops start approaching". Rob told Hermes. Hermes nodded his head while facing the screens. Ethan stayed with Hermes and watched the screens. "Alright uh Ares I think we should bring this one uh whats his name"? Posiedon said to Rob while looking at his name tag while holding his cuffed wrists to make sure he doesn't leave. "Jimmy huh alright you're coming with us to the lot in the back". Posiedon said. Soon Rob Hermes and Jimmy walked to the back of the store through the storage room and to the car lot in the back. Apollo had a gun pointed at the other guard while grabbing him with Nicholas next to him with a gun as they moved to the front of the store. With all hostage holders in position the others were by the safe with a power drill crushing through it. Theodore was using the drill as efficient as possible. "Hurry up aw geez it's amazing the cops aren't here by now". Hercules said while sounding worried. Theodore remained as concentrated as possible on the situation.

The night is quiet and a local Mahopac police car is parked on the side of a road clocking radar to see how fast cars are going. Inside the car two officers are inside. Both wearing dark blue police uniforms and a black police hat. The car was white and on the side read "MPD" in light blue. The cop in the drivers seat had black sunglasses on and a golden pin with his hand on the steering wheel and the other with a bottle of water in his hand. The other cop was dressed in a similar way only with a gold pin on his chest and read "Captain Thomas Reed Prince", while the other cops pin read "Leutenant Rodney Mark Williams". Thomas had a radar gun in his hand scanning the passing cars. "Hey did I ever tell you about that kid Austin in my highschool English class"? Thomas asked. "No why what about him"? Rodney asked. "(Chuckles) Heh funny story alright so we're in English class and my crush Lindsey Hamilton, (sigh) this beautiful brunnete with brown eyes who sat in front of me". Thomas explained. "Oh yeah I remember her yeah we dated for a while in college". Rodney said sounding more interested. "Anyway Austin and I both wanted her BAD, so what happened was we flipped a coin to who got to ask her out first". Thomas explained. "Always a smart move". Rodney commented. "So I won the coin toss and I asked her, she said yes we dated for about a week I wanna say but then we broke up. So Rodney moves in and asks and she says that she's HAHAHA she she says she a lesbian". Thomas explained. Rodney looked disappointed at the punchline to his story. "Heheh oh I thought it was funny". Thomas explained with a smile on his face while still clocking radar. "Heheh I find it funny how the only girlfriend that you had as far as I know that you remember everything about you broke up with and now you live with you're new girlfriend. Uh whats this ones name. Kayla June, what a name on that one". Rodney said. "Yeah well this one puts Lindsey to shame, I mean considering her rack". Thomas explained. "Yeah I've noticed your brother taking quite a liking to her ass as well as her rack". Rodney said. "heheh yeah he may be a creepy twenty year old pervert but he has a heart of gold the little one". Thomas said. "Hey how is he did he get the job"? Rodney asked before taking a slug of water and gently placing it down in the cup holder. "Oh yeah he got the job. You and I are now talking about America's newest night guard". Thomas explained. "How do you think he'll do"? Rodney asked. "Ah well I think he'll do fine he just has to not get tense on the job, thats where I get concerned. I'm like Jimmy if you take this job, you gotta take it seriously and be calm cause if you dont your head will have another hole and God knows you don't need another one of those". Thomas said. "Yeah well he's young he might get a little thin skinned every now and again but he seems tough enough i'm sure he'll handle it". Rodney replied. "Yeah he probably will. Though you and I both know he isnt the brightest, he might get lost in there. Damn thrift shop is bigger then a mall". Thomas said. Suddenly the radio starts staticing as an order is placed. "All units please respond we got a robbery at the Mahopac thrift store all units please respond". The lady over the radio said. "Huh perfect timing" Rodney said. "Just step on the peddle and floor it". Thomas said firmly. Rodney then turned on the red and blue lights and sirens as he drove quickly into the middle of the road an accelerated down the road.
