HERO!

     "Well! What are you waiting for? Put the cash in the damn bag." baldie screamed. He pushed the bag into the cashier's hands and picked up a cup of coffee.

     Turns out they are actually four only one held a gun though. I rubbed my knees furiously trying to block out  the little girl in the next boot muttering 'we are all gonna die'. Somehow I managed to sneak a look at Abel who was thoroughly analyzing the man with the gun.

"Hey Dawg! The manager is playing hide and seek with us." Ine of the robbers said much to everyones hearing. It didn't take rocket science for everyone to know that the guy with the gun was the boss.

    He had a big scar running from his elbow to his wrist spiralling along the way it almost looked lyk a failed tatoo. The boss chuckled " Stupid Guy. Thinking we are all hommies ayeee!" We made eye contact as I visibly cowered . I loved my life and I don't want to die because some stulid manager pissed off a gun weilder.

    "Open the damn thing!!!" bald guy kept on screaming at the cashier.

He stalked accross the room and yanked the other attendant by the collar." Someone better give me the password if you all want to leave without harm."

     That was when the real panick set in. I began to take deep breath through my mouth. A warm hand wrapped around me and held me close." You had better not throw up, honeycakes. I need to leave this place alive."
      I scowled at Abel who was still looking at the man with the gun. His  face looked flushed but still calm even under the intense pressure. Our gazes met and he gave a soft smile of reassurance. I thought I felt butterflies in my stomach till I realized that I needed to throw up...........really bad.

         "I don't feel so good." I said aloud as I clutched my stomach and stumbled out of the seats. Everyone scrambled out of my way but someone wasn't lucky enough. Out of everyone there, I just had to hurl my breakfast at the man with the gun.

      "Ooooohhh, I feel better." I moaned after. I looked up at tge masked man and put on a sheepish smile. He grunted some incoherent words . Something around piece of shit I think as he scampered towards the toilet section.
        I remained on that spot feeling another one brewing up my throat. I grabbed the nearest trash can and kept on throwing up till there was probably nothing left in my stomach. I looked at everyone and mumbled          " So much for blending in" before everything turned black.

ABEL'S POV
      I watched as Louise body hit the ground with a thud.

Poor thing.

She had been looking pale since those guys walked in.

I shuffled towards her on my knees and just before I reached her the leader of the robbers cocked the gun at me." Move away boy."

I tilted my head to the side scrutinizing his hold on the gun. Something was not right.

The gun.

He held it like it was paperweight. Either he was strong or the gun was fake.

Or it had no bullets.

We kept in staring at each other like it was a showdown.

The robber moved the gun to his second hands and rubbed the previous hand on his shirt.

Gotcha! He was anxious.

I roared back in laughter and got on my feet. Everyone looked at me.

"At least learn how to hold a gun before using one." I gripped his wrist and pulled the gun away from his reach. Dude began to sweat profusely and beg.
