Heist

Chapter 8

"Hey you! Where are you going?"

Lorenzo and I both tense up and I hold my breath, I'm literally shaking with fear, I have no idea what will happen.

I look over to where Lorenzo is crouched and I widen my eyes in fear at what he's now holding in his hands.

What on earth!? He has a gun, holy crackers, who is he?

"Lorenzo, what are you doing!?!? Where did you get that!" I shriek.

"Chichi shut up! Relax and please don't make any sound I'll handle this" he scolds me.
I hold Alisha tighter and watch helplessly as Lorenzo stands and faces the robbers, everything is dead silent in the store. I can literally hear the thumping of my heart.

Lorenzo breaks the silence and starts talking to the guy that called him out. "Kid stop this act of foolishness and walk out of here a free man"

The boy pointing the gun at Lorenzo looks taken aback by Lorenzo's statement.
He does look pretty young, especially since he was dumb to wear a mask that didn't cover much of his face, probably in his early twenties.

"Shut the fvck up and don't try to be some stupid hero" he shouts after composing himself.

Before Lorenzo could say anything else the second guy comes up to the two and that's when I know things are about to blow up.

Alisha starts squirming and I hold her tighter while trying to stop my shaking too.

This other guy starts acting weird and he seemed to be trying to avoid making eye contact with Lorenzo.
Lorenzo notices this too and he takes a step forward, he brings out his gun too and a few people gasp probably wondering what on earth is happening.

Lorenzo races towards the second guy, and quickly flicks the other Guy's gun to the floor, he then proceeds to press his gun against the guy's temple.

How he managed to do all that I can't seem to fathom, this guy is just full of surprises.

"Don't make any fucking move or I'm blowing your shitty brains out" Lorenzo seethes, and I get scared a little bit. He looks terrifying in this state.

The guy stops moving and I can only imagine the fear going through him since his stupid plan failed and now he has a gun to his head,
as much as I realise this guy is a criminal I really don't want Lorenzo to kill him, I mean yeah they are low lives but sue me I can't bear to see that happen in front of me.

Lorenzo starts removing this guy's mask and I'm shocked because this young boy looks no older than twenty years.
My shock seems to not compare to Lorenzo's expression, he looks livid and if looks could kill we would all be in black mourning the young man's death.

Lorenzo composes himself and stands up straight he looks to the other guy and the guy immediately drops his gun, I don't blame him.
Lorenzo looks really scary right now, if he told me to cut my right arm off with that expression I would, I'd gladly even throw in my other arm for good measure.

Lorenzo faces all the terrified customers in the store and addresses them.

"Please calm down and don't worry. I am a policeman and I'll handle this" he proceeds to grab the two men and the guns they threw on the floor. People start getting up and some just down right race towards the door to leave.
I get up and pick up Alisha in my arms, she seem awfully quiet and I hope her little innocent mind forgets this experience, its not a good memory to have.
