Set It Off (Mindless Edition)

Bloody Bank

(Tasha)

I was at my daytime job at the Downtown Federal Bank. Yeah, I had a pretty good job for a 16 year old.

"Next in line please".

The next person was a good friend of mine, Josh. Me and him grew up in the same projects as kids. It was nice to see him again.

"Hey Josh. It's nice to see you again. I didn't know you had a bank account here".

He pulled out a small gun he had in his jacket.

"Open the fucking safe". He said in a low tone.

I started to shake and cry. I couldn't believe he was doing this.

"Josh please don't do this. Stop playing with me". I said still crying.

"Playing? Bitch I ain't playing with you. I said hand over the goddamn money".

"No. I'm not going to give you anything".

He looked over on both sides of the bank. Two other guys nodded at him. I guess it was a signal or something.

"Everybody get down! Now"!

"Open the safe! Now"! One of his gunman said.

Josh grabbed an old lady from the ground and held the gun to her head. I was still crying.

"Either you open the safe or her fucking brain comes out".

"Ok. I'll give you the money".

I was going for my emergency money clip. But then it was too late. She had shot her in the head. Blood splattered all on me. It made me cry even more.

The other gunman throws a bag at my co-worker Betty.

"Put the money in there"! He said.

Betty runs off and puts $30,000 dollars into the bag. A security guard runs from behind a door and starts to shoot at Josh and his friends. I duck behind the counter crying uncontrollably. Josh shoots the security guard in the head. Betty comes back with the money in the bag and hands it to Josh. He snatches it from her and jumps off the counter. All three men start to run out but, three other guards come out and shoot all three of them.

"Is everyone alright"? A security guard ask.

Me and Betty are behind the counter crying. I couldn't believe that Josh would do something like this. Especially to one of his best friends. Well, you can't trust all of your friends.
