sleeping thief | g.d

Chapter 2

POW POW!
"I WANT EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW. YOU MOVE OR TALK AND YOU'RE DEAD".

"Please don't do this." The bank teller said. "I'll give you whatever you want"

"SHUT UP AND PUT THE MONEY IN THE FUCKING BAG!"

Cries for help were coming from each direction. Babies whining, adults crying, and me... scared shitless. Ethan had his arms around me tight, so tight that it felt like he was digging into my rib cage. My mind was so blank at the time but however all I could think to myself was.. is this the end?

I glanced to the left of me and saw the bank manager crawl under the desk and click the panic button, alerting the police. It made a noise so loud that even the robbers heard it, it was the biggest mistake she ever made in her life, cause that's what it caused her.

"POW"

"ANYBODY ELSE WANNA ALERT THE FUCKING POLICE?" The robber had screamed. "YOUR GONNA END UP LIKE HER WITH YOUR BRAIN BLOWN UP."

Blood... blood was splattered everywhere. It shocked me to know that he just blew her brains completely out her skull. Literally! Her brain was in small little portions all over the desk. I was praying to God that I wasn't next.

"Now, my plan was never to kill anyone but that bitch alerted the police which shortened my time to collect my fucking money." The robber had stated calmly. "If you guys wanna live, just do what I say and we'll get along just fine"

"Gray, i'm scared." Ethan whispered to me. "If we don't live through all of this, I just wanted to let you know that I love you so freaking much dude"

"E, be hopeful. Of course we're gonna live through this but if we don't, I love you too man... so mu-

"SHUT UP." The robber yelled at Ethan and I.

Suddenly I smelled something. It was a really gross smell... Ethan farted. I don't blame him though, I was scared too.

"How many minutes we have left to get the rest of the money?" He said to the other robbers.

"5-10." He said.

"Okay, we gotta do this quick and smoothly."

It felt like Ethan and I were the only people not crying. We were obviously extremely scared but I guess crying wouldn't have made anything better or eased.

Finally! I thought to myself. Polices and S.W.A.T teams were pulling up in every direction. Literally all you could hear inside the bank was sirens and guns being loaded. That's when people in the bank got loud.. sadly, including Ethan.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW."

Oh my gosh. HE GRABBED ETHAN!

"Say one more word and I will blow his brains out instantly. Quick, fast and in a hurry."

I instantly glance all over the room and try to get people to shut up. I refused to lose my brother, not today and not because of the others. I had to act fast. If I didn't, I probably was gonna lose him. I wasn't prepared for that.

"Let go of the young man and come out with your hands up, no one will get hurt." The policeman said.

"You move and I will kill you." The robber said.

At this moment, I figured I had to make a move. I had no choice but to save my brother. So.. I thought about it. I was gonna try to get the gun from the robber.

"Grayson, don't do it." Ethan mouthed to me without making noise.

"I have to." I whispered.

"GRAY NO!!!!" Ethan shouted

POW POW POW!

Everyone froze and made a stunned noise; everyone froze except me. I dropped to the ground really hard and the last thing I seen before my eyes closed was blood. I was shot.
