'You sure we can rob this bank?' I ask, a bit scared. Out of all of the things I have done, none of them were this big.
'Yes im sure' jacob says. I know he doesn't mean it. You see since I was a kid I have a power, or a curse. I can read minds. I dont know why or how I have it, it never helped me. Since I  was a kid it was just always there. I could hear what others were thinking all the time. It sounds like a gift, but its not. I have had severe trust issues. As a kid, I didn't know how to stop those sounds. Hell I was about to be sent to an asylum too. It sucks, I could hear all those things, I became a really insecure person, because everyone was judging me all the time. They didn't say it to my face, but I could still hear it. Well it has helped me too I wont deny it, cheating in exams, with crushes and well scamming and robbing people.
'Okay' I say and smile at him. Be optimistic i tell myself even though I know what we are about to do will end in a bad way. 
We enter the bank, i was wearing a blonde wig. Jacob was wearing glasses and blonde hair, both pretending to be some snob british. I get my british accent on, even though I know it sucks.
'Do your magic' Jacob says, he always thought my skills were magical, he never understood the struggle I went through. He never tried to since it was helping us. He always looked at the front side, never the back.
I observe the employee's working there. Random thoughts fill my head, until I hear a woman whining, duty about to get over. She wouldn't wanna go through the struggle of double checking, she is lazy.
'That girl, right there' I point to her.
We slowly approach her, it was late many people had left. I start crying.
'My son needs un urgent surgery please help me' I say with a croaking voice. Tears just come out, I'm good at faking stuff now.
i was pretending to be a woman called jean smith, me and Jacod pretended we were married. Honestly, im not suprised at this point, so good at faking it might as well date in real life.
'Oh I'm so sorry, how many i help you?' she says with a comforting tone although i can see that she really doesn't want to deal with this shit right now.
'We were robbed 2 days ago, the robbers stole all our important documents' Jacob says.
'I am afraid I can't help you without your id.' the woman says.
'We need an emergency withdrawal from our savings account for our son' I say with a pleading voice aiming for sympathy.
'Actually, I researched last night. I think my wife can give you her unique account code.' jacob says. I am quite suprised, Jacob is genuinely bright and creative in such scenarios.
'That would be wonderful!' i exclaim with a hint of optimism.
the banker is confused but she doesn't wanna go through the struggle getting it verified. I wouldnt either to be honest.
'Right' she says confused, 'Whats your full name?' she asks ready to be done.
'Jean smith' I say with confidence, I remember the name I hope so.
'Okay I see Jean and Evan Smith here' she says.
I sigh in relief.
'Give me your code, i'll check my system.'
Now's my turn, I shut my eyes and focus hard on getting the code. I can see memories too, life from someone's perspective, it's hard, I don't how to master it. It takes alot of my energy too.
...314 413....got it....
'314 413' I say 'the code'
'Thats correct' she says checking on me and Jacob.
I know she wants to be done, she wouldn't think twice, she thinks im legit.
'Okay I can give your money Mrs. Smith' she says 'How much would you like to withdraw?'
'10,000 dollars' Jacob says satisfied. 'He means 1000' I correct him, I cannot steal that much from someone. Even though I know they won't even notice. I can tell he is disappointed. He sighs and gets 1000 dollars withdrawn. We both exit the bank. I make a mental note to thank the lady on my funeral.
As I enter the car, i'm prepared to hear Jacob scold me but instead he says we did good and we will reach our target soon. I smile warmly at him. 'Better luck tomorrow' I say and start the car.
Just then I notice police officers surround our car and point guns at us
'WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?' i asked Jacob in a cool manner.. actually I don't know how.
'I...dont...know' he says while crying.
I know I have to take care of the situation so I step out and let them handcuff me and him.
Looks like we screwed up bad.
