Haloseville

Lee stood in the middle of his two best friends and stared at the chalkboard, which sat in front of the three teenagers.

"So, we do this tonight?" Jamie asked, his arms folded and grinning.

Lee and Clancy nodded, looking at each other.

"You guys better wait for me because I'm the one taking the bag." Lee said.

"Yeah of course bro, no worries, we'll of course wait for you." Clancy replied, putting a hand on his shoulder, patting it.

Jamie started stuffing their equipment into the duffel bag and left some space for the money.

"Alright boys, we can start our plan." Jamie said, grabbing the bag and chucking it to Lee.

"Woo!" Clancy shouted, "Let's go!"

The three of them exited the house and got onto Jamie's Range Rover. Lee and Jamie sat at the front while Clancy sat at the back.

It was 1AM in the morning and the Range Rover was parked in the dark alleyway next to the largest bank in the city. The three boys crept from the car to the entrance of the bank.

Jamie gave Lee his hand signal and Lee threw him a lock picker. He stuck the lock picker into the lock and slowly twisted it, making a loud clanking voice.

"Shush Jamie!" Clancy whispered, "We don't wanna be caught!"

Jamie nodded fiercely and dumped the lock into his pocket. He slowly tiptoed into the bank and stared at the Victorian designed interior. The roof stretched out into a pointy peak like a mountain, with a large chandelier, hanging from the highest crest. The rectangular windows were draped with beige curtains and the moonlight shone though the curtains, making a spotlight in the middle of the checkered floor.

"Come guys, we're safe." Jamie spoke in a low voice.

Lee and Clancy who were still standing at the entrance, walked in and were amazed at the building's infrastructure.

"Woah, this is amazing!" Lee exclaimed.

Clancy slapped his arm, "Shut up Lee."

"Oops sorry."

Jamie scanned the building for where the money was kept. Clancy walked towards the bathroom door and knocked on it lightly. Lee stood behind Jamie and looked around.

"Found it!" Clancy yelled, then covering his mouth with his hand, realizing he had yelled out.

"Dude, can you please shut your pie hole." Lee rolled his eyes. He and Jamie stood next to Clancy, while Clancy tried to open the large metal vault.

Lee passed Clancy a enormous hammer, "Here, use this."

"Bro where the hell did you find this hammer? How come we've never seen it?" Jamie whispered, raising his eyebrow, which none of them could see in the dark.

Clancy smashed the vault lock and it fell with a loud crash on the marble floor.

"Damn it Clancy! We don't want to get caught!" Lee said in a low voice, looking around in case anyone has heard them.

"I'm sorry dude, but if I didn't break it like that, we'd never actually get the money." Clancy replied, as he threw the hammer back to Lee.

"Guys, I actually don't think this is a good idea...I mean we're not professional burglars." Lee murmured.

"Well we're already here, so let's get it done." Jamie said.

Clancy pulled open the door with his buff and muscular arms and the largest stack of money anyone had ever seen was sitting right in front them.
The three boys eyes gleamed in the dark, just staring at the money. Jamie rushed in and took a wad of money in his hand.

"This is real guys! Let's start!" He exclaimed.

"Shush! We need to do this quietly so we don't caught." Said Lee, chucking the bag to Jamie and Clancy as they stuffed the money. Lee stood on watch, glimpsing at each part of the interior structure of the bank.

As the two teenage boys stuffed the money into the black duffel bag, Lee noticed four circular lights shining at the glass doors of the entrance of the bank. He squinted, trying to make out what they could be and finally realized as he saw the dark shadow of a policeman coming in through the entrance.

"Clancy, Jamie! Policemen are here, we need to move! Now!" Lee whispered, walking into the vault.

"There is a secret emergency door here, I saw it before we started taking the money. We can get out from there." Clancy said, zipping up the bag and throwing it to Jamie, who clutched it tightly.

Lee nodded and the three boys ran towards the emergency door but as Lee was about to go through, one of the policemen caught him.

I'm doomed. Lee thought.

"Young man, freeze and drop your weapons now!" The policeman yelled, the others catching up with him, their guns all pointing at Lee.

Lee forgot he held the hammer in his hand. He dropped it and threw both of his arms up into the air.

"You are under arrest for stealing from Foxwood Bank."

Another policeman came and put handcuffs on his wrists, "Lets go lad."

"But I had two other friends who did this with me." Lee protested.

"We will find them sooner or later but first you need to tell us everything." The policemen said.

Before he was walked out of the vault, he glanced back at the emergency door and thought,

Once I get out of jail, I'm going to kill Clancy and Jamie.
