"Wake up! Wake up! We're going to rob the bank!" Harold yelled as I immediately sat up. "Come on, boy! Get ready!" He commanded as I put my mask on. Kyle handed me the nine-milimeter gun as we stopped in front of the bank.

"Go!" Harold exclaimed as we got out of the van and ran inside the bank. "Put your hands in the air!" He ordered as he fired the at the ceiling. I smirked following in pointed my gun towards an employee. "Where's the money?" I asked as the woman trembled in fear. "I asked you where the fucking money is!" I yelled hitting her with the butt of my gun. She yelped collapsing to the floor. I smirked turning towards the other people. Harold, Kyle, and Patrick were smirking for me to go on. I smirked and shot as the ceiling. "In the count of three, if no one answers me where the money is kept, then I'll start shooting people. Starting with..." I trailed off scanning the people. Ah, the lady employee. "Her." I stated pulling the lady up roughly.

"Amelia!" A child yelled as I smirked. "You seem like you work here, so tell me, where the hell the money is?" I asked whispering in her ear. "Vault two." She replied calmly as I motioned for Harold to go to Vault Two. I smirked dragging Amelia after me. Wait, Amelia!? Why does that name ring a bell!? "Fuck! Look at that dough!" Kyle commented as I smirked pushing Amelia in. "Put them in bags. Separate each by amount." I ordered as Harold smirked proudly at me. I smiled back as Amelia did as she was asked. I watched her feeling like I know her.

"Neil! Get the money! The popo are here!" Patrick yelled as I went in and grabbed the bags from Amelia, but she held my hand. "I hope you know what yur doing, Neil." She stated letting me go as Harold pulled me with him and we ran for the van. How does she know my name!? "Go! Go! Go!" He ordered as Grant quickly stepped on the gas and we sped away from the bank. I looked back to see a familiar blonde girl run inside the building followed by a boy. I frowned feeling something in th epit of my stomach. Why was I doing this? Why was I stealing for a living? We reached our hideout and Harold messed with my hair. "Not bad, Neil. We have half of what that bank had. We can buy anything we want now." He stated as I frowned and walked towards my satchel. I looked inside to the familiar quill, book, and a bundle of parchment. I frowned seeing the book glow. I never touched any of these things, but now, I feel a pull to look at it. I looked around to see that they were counting the money in the living room.

I smiled taking the book out and opening the pages to see a familiar woman with a baby in her arms and a man behind her smiling down. I smiled reading the description on the next page.

Snow and Prince Charming had a baby girl. The Savior foretold from long ago. They were ecstatic having finally seeing their baby. "What shall we name her?" Prince Charming asked as the babe played with his fingers. "Emma." Snow replied as they both smiled proudly at the babe.

I smiled as well and touched the page. The baby looks so familiar. Her eyes, it's like I've seen it before. The lady who went out of the police car had the same light in her eyes as the ba...by... I gulped looking at the boys. They were counting the shares. In all honesty, I don't know why I'm in this line of work. I just found myself here without an explanation. I need to speak with that Amelia girl from the bank. I quickly packed my bags and took my share of the money and rushed out without a word.

I don't want to steal anymore! I just want a normal life! I took my bicycle and rode towards the city. What was the name of the bank... Uhm... Merl-no that's not it. Swa-nope, not that either. I think it started with a g. Ga-nope not the one. Gr-nah, not that one either. Go-ah! Gold's Bank of the People! I smiled remembering the way there. I chucked my watch.
