Darryl's POV
Flashback
"Are you sure you can handle this Brandy?"
"Darryl, I told you I can."
"I'm just making sure because I don't need you backing out on me. Once your in, there's no coming out."
"Don't be dramatic Darryl. I got this" She said.
"Alright, let's do this."
We got out of the car & headed towards the small bank. I pulled down my mask & took the gun off of safety. I gave Brandy the signal. She went in & got down to business. I waited patiently as I heard her screaming & yelling. Pretending that a man is trying to kill her. My breathing turned heavily. My heart was beating very fast. My palms started to get sweaty. I never robbed a bank before. This is my first time doing this. I know i can get life in prison but i have no choice. Thank god, I wrapped tape around the gun so finger prints would show. Leave no evidence behind. I waited for the safe word & went in.
I went behind the counter & took off my backpack. I put all the money in & cut all the wires that's hooked to the cameras. I zipped up the backpack & exited the door. I got in the car & drove off. I took off the mask & took a deep breath. I can't believe I robbed a bank without getting caught. I pulled over in a alley & got out. I poured the gasoline all over the car. I lit up the cigarette lighter & threw it on the car. I walked away with $5.9k in my hand. I took another deep breath & continued walking.
I watch as the police cars speed down the road towards the bank. I pulled my hood over & walked across the street. I stopped at the corner & leaned against the wall. I unzipped my backpack & looked at the money. I robbed a bank for the first time. I needed this money so I could stay alive. I owe a lot of people in the neighborhood. I couldn't get job because of my record. I couldn't ask my family for help. I'm dead to them. This was my only option. Once I pay back the people I owe. I'll save the rest for myself.
I heard footsteps from down the block. I zipped up the backpack & pulled out my gun. I hide in the shadow so they couldn't see me. I waited for them to take another step. As soon as they came close I pounced on them.
"Damn Darryl its me brandy."
I sighed in relief & pulled her in the shadow with me.
"How much did we get" She asked.
I unzipped the backpack & showed her.
She squealed in excitement & clapped her hands.
I zipped it back up "this should be enough to pay everyone I owe back."
"And if you have some left over" She questioned.
"I'm gonna save it."
"Save it? Fuck that, let's go get some weed" She said.
"You must forgot I live in a abandoned house. I need food & clothes."
"Then get your ass a fucking job" She said.
"Bitch I can't I have a record."
"Bitch? Okay, let me go back to the bank & talk to the police about what I saw" She said turning away.
I grabbed her arm & push her against the wall. I put my gun against her head.
"Bitch if you even think about running your mouth to the police. I'm going to kill you before the police get me. Keep your fucking mouth shut."
She shook her head yes. I put the gun down & grabbed my backpack. I put my gun in my waistband & straighten my coat.
"What should we do now" She asked
"We lay low & don't see each other for a while."
"How long" She asked.
"For a month."
"A month? I can't handle a month" She said.
"Well, suffer through it."
I looked left & right before walking. I walked down the sidewalk. I tugged on my backpack. I hope all of this doesn't come back on me.
