Anything That Can Go Wrong

Wishing You All The Best

AU: Alpha/Beta/Omega, Crime Syndicate

Bradley Nicholes thought of himself as a mild mannered person.

Well, as mild mannered as a sarcastic, blunt Omega could be.

Bradley rarely did anything out of the ordinary and stuck to a typical routine he'd created several years ago.

At 25 years old, it was well formed and concrete by now.

Today was the day Bradley went to the bank and cashed his pay check to pay his bills.

He thought about deviating from his routine and getting a burger from the fast food place down the street. Then he mentally slapped and scolded himself.

His routine was important, without it there was chaos and he couldn't have that.

Bradley may not have been as OCD as Amanda had been, but he'd seen what happened when chaos ruled all.

As he walked into the bank, Bradley mentally cursed the long lines at the tellers. He wished he had his former Alpha's ability to part a crowd or give people a look and make them hurry along. Then he kicks himself for thinking of her when he'd been doing so well in not bothering for the past 7 years.

(He'd never admit it out loud or even to himself, but Bradley did miss her more than anything in the world.

The first year had been the hardest.)

Bradley grumbled under his breath and sighed as the line moved along.

It happened very suddenly.

A loud bang split through the air and Bradley hit the floor out of pure instinct. All his years doing similar ducking and dodging had well trained him for sudden noises and such.

A voice called out. "Alright, here's how this is going to go!"

Bradley sighed.

And he was having such a good day.

MML~MML~MML

Sitting next to the bank tellers on the ground had to be the calmest Bradley had felt since he graduated, which was ironic as all get out because nothing about this situation was calm.

"Alright, ladies, please give up your jewelry, men empty your wallets."

Bradley was getting out his own wallet when the bag appeared under his nose.

He looked up.

The criminal was wearing a ski mask but even that couldn't mask the horror in his eyes when the criminal (Beta, dark grey eyes) caught sight of Bradley. "Shit!" he cried.

Another criminal (also Beta, pale blue eyes) came over. "What's wrong, Grey?"

Grey nodded to Bradley, the showing skin pale. "Blue, we fucked up!"

The other criminal, 'Blue', looked at Bradley and he also went pale.

"Red! Red, we gotta get out of here!" Blue shouted.

"The Hell you mean, Blue?" Red came over and Bradley was beginning to get very sick of this game.

Red took one look, dropped his bag and went so pale, his red eyes stood out against his snow-like skin. "The Boss is gonna kill us!" He turned, looking at the other two, "What the fuck you waiting for, dumbasses, haul ass outta here!"

Red ran from the building, Blue and Grey dropped their bags and followed their leader out the door.

Bradley wasn't sure what had just happened, but as he cautiously stood up and grabbed his things, Bradley was grateful for whatever had just protected him.
