Real Queens Fix Each Others Crowns
Cassandra raced towards the store. Annie laughed crazily in the passenger seat as Ruby held on for dear life. The tires screeched as she came to the stop next to Beth's car. She sighed, rolling down the window. "I cannot believe you." Beth said in her I'm-not-mad-just-disappointed mum voice as she got out of her car. Cassandra unclipped her seatbelt. "Chill. I'm like two minutes late." She said as the girls got out of the cars. Beth moved to open the trunk of Cassandra's car as Ruby came over to help. "How was Sara's thing?" The blonde housewife asked.
"Oh, she was so good." Ruby replied, brushing her short straightened hair out of her face.
"She's so smart." Beth said. "I worry about mine." She joked.
"All right, you all ready for this?" Annie asked as she pulled the gear out of the trunk.
"Now or never." Beth muttered.
"Let's do it!" Cassandra said high-fiving Annie as they fought over one of the masks. Beth and Cassandra followed behind Ruby and Annie with their guns raised."All right, everybody be cool, and nobody gets hurt!" Annie yelled into the partly quiet building. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a robbery!" The shoppers froze, looking around in panic. "I'm gonna need you all to get on the ground get your cell phones out of your pockets, and keep your hands where I can see 'em." Annie yelled and each and everyone of the customers followed the order. "Now, I need to you to get your manager up here." Annie yelled. Nobody moved. "I said you need to get a manager up here right now!"
Still no-one answered, Ruby and Annie share a look. "Hey! Where's y'all's boss at?" Ruby asked.
Suddenly Beth stepped forwards yelling. "I better get a manager up here right now or I will start capping people, and I'm not even joking!" She knocked over a display case making people scream before pointing a gun at a teen behind the counter. "Are you the manager?" She asked. The teenage girl pointed to the man in a green shirt crawling on the floor like a worm. "Hey." Beth called chasing after the man. "Hey, you. You!" She yelled. "You, squirmy! Hey, hey, hey!" She pointed her gun at him. "Are you in charge here?" She asked.
"Yes." The man said in a squeaky voice. "Yes, I am."
"Okay, then you listen to me." Beth said. "You're gonna put on your big boy panties and you're gonna tell your customers to stay calm and this will be over real soon." Beth pointed at Annie. "Now you're going to take my friend here to the cash vault." She said. When the main didn't move she yelled in his face. "Move it before I shoot your face off let's go! Now, now, now!" The manager rushed to his feet before leading Annie to the back. Cassandra moved in and out of the aisles, pushing people out into the main part of the store, purposely missing a mother and her young daughter. "What is taking so long?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know." Cassandra muttered, looking out the window. "Holy crap." She said as she stared straight at the security guard. "We got to go." She turned to Ruby. "We got to go, we got to go, we got to go!" Beth, Ruby and Cassandra ran down the aisle to the back door as Annie and the manager came out with the money. "Nope, turn around!" Cassandra grabbing Annie's arm as she helped push the trolley full of bagged money. "Let's go, let's go, come on!" Ruby shouted. "Guys! We gotta go, we gotta go!"
