Vienna ~ La Casa de Papel

Trapped and Scared

We were at the top of the stairs and now at the door that took us to the roof.

"Helsinki take cover in the museum!" Palermo shouted.

"Negative." He replied. "I'm building a trench, then I'll come down."

I looked at Tokyo with tears in my eyes, and then, the roof exploded.

I put my hands behind my head knowing that Helsinki was below the explosion, and knowing that we were right outside where they were waiting to get inside and kill him.

I put my hand on the door handle.

"Don't open the door." The professor panted.

"Professor?" I asked shocked.

"It's a long story but don't open that door, they'll kill you straight away." He told me.

"If we don't go they'll kill Helsinki!" Tokyo shouted.

"There's 100 snipers aimed at that roof, 10 of them will land in you before you can even get close to rescuing Helsinki. You'll have to let Palermo, Bogotá and Rio help him instead." The professor spoke. "For now, get the hostages."

We ran downstairs and to the library where Manilla and Mattias were with the hostages.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"We're taking to hostages to the roof." Denver told him.

"Palermo! What's the current situation with Helsi?" I asked.

"We're with him, but he's wounded, badly."

I sighed in frustration.

"Do whatever it takes to get him out as soon as you can, we're going to the roof with the hostages." I told him.

I could hear gunshots being fired.

"The soldiers are on the other side of the room to us, but we're protected by the marble statue that's crushed Helsinki's leg." Rio said.

"It's ok, keep doing what you're doing."

Us and the hostages started running back up those stairs and to the door by the roof.

"They're going to kill us!" One of the hostages said.

"No one out there's going to kill you!" I told him. "I might if you keep being annoying."

8 elite soldiers were now inside the bank, and there were 11 of us. We had to try.

"Now!" The professor spoke.

We opened the door and had the hostages run out wearing masks and had some of them take them off to show that they were hostages. We put our weapons into the bag and put our masks over our faces, and then went out as well to pretend we were hostages and make sure we could at least get close to the hole.

The warmth of the sun hit my face and for a moment I enjoyed it, until I had to get back to work.

We started running around with our hands up when I knew what I had to do next.

I hid behind a wall and sat down leaning my back on it, panting. Tokyo and Denver both came over and did the same.

"We've freed Helsinki!" Rio shouted.

Mattias and Manilla were behind the door leading to the roof, ready to start shooting from the door. That would distract police long enough for us to drag the bag of weapons down to the hole without the police seeing us.

Mattias started shooting and Tokyo started dragging to rope attached to the bag.

The bag finally came to us and while hiding as best as we could, we took our guns out.
