BANG! Loud and threatening, it boomed throughout the entire lobby area echoing off the walls of the establishment demanding all the attention in the room. The once professional area turned into a silent panic as all surprised eyes fell upon the holder of the deadly object. A tall overly buff man who had a simple ski mask pulled over his face and equally dark clothing, had the gun pointed towards the sky as he walked further into the bank.

"Everybody down! This is a robbery!" His gruff voice shouted as he made his way towards one of the tellers. Cries and pleas emitted from both the teller and the wide eyed innocent bystanders. Getting frustrated the robber pointed the gun upwards again. BANG! "Shut up! ..Give me the fucking money!" He yelled as he slammed his palm on the counter.

The teller, fully frightened stumbled as she ran quickly to the vault the weapon aimed carefully at her the entire time. She loaded up bags of money for the hostile man, her entire body shaking, and came back with as many as she could manage to carry. Once she set them on the counter the man snatched them from her grasp. He was about to tell her to to bring more but before he could threaten her again, sirens sounded in the distance.

"Fuck! Who the fuck called the pigs?" He yelled cursing at himself for not keeping a better eye on the crowd he stuffed the gun in his pocket, gathered the bags in both hands and tore out the door. Everyone inside could not help but feel relieved. The teller's violently shaking frame gave way as she fell to the ground and let the hot tears fall down her face like two raging rivers.

Within minutes the bank was swarmed by police. They had managed to calm the public down and began gathering them in groups for questioning outside of the building. Some were now searching the outside area looking for clues the man might have left behind, and a couple were examining the bullets left behind from the earlier shootings.

"Same bullet from the same gun, used the same way. This is exactly like the other robberies. I think we're dealing with an amateur here." A man with long brown hair and white eyes said professionally studying the bullets with a magnifying glass. He glanced at the other officer that had been across from him as they both stood from their crouching position. "I think Haruno needs to see this." The other officer nodded, silently agreeing. The brown haired man pulled out his cell phone and dialed said girls number.

"Neji?.." A stern voice reached his ear. "Sakura, there was another robbery on Dunbar road… You might want to get over here." He said quietly as he walked over to the bank tellers counter. Everybody was now cleared from the bank and only the police were allowed entrance. He heard her mutter something incoherent on the other line. "Thanks." She said quickly before the line went dead. He tapped his fingers on the counter as he pushed his phone back to his pocket. Once more he glanced around the bank and decided to join his partners outside.

A few minutes later an orange Toyota supra pulled in across the parking lot from the officers. All eyes on the thin pink haired girl who stepped out. Her white heels clicked as she walked to the boys while her yellow sundress was swept back in the wind. She grabbed her black sunglasses off of her face and pushed them back into her wildly flowing hair revealing her black eyelined sharp emerald eyes. The boys all watching her hips sway completely forgetting the robbery until she opened her mouth. "Where's the evidence?" She questioned not sparing anyone a glance.

Neji was the first to answer as he gave her a small nod. "I didn't want to touch anything, thought id leave it to you. Its all inside." He said as he pointed back to the bank. Her eyes landed on the building. "Witnesses?" She drawled, clearly bored with the subject. "The only one worth talking to would be the teller that was threatened and had to get the money from the vault." Another officer piped up drawing the attention of the pinkette. "Where?" She demanded. The officer winced at her harsh tone. "Right here.." A meek voice arose from the crowd of officers. Sakura's vision now snapped to the female. "Good. Follow me, I'll need you to point everything out to me, so I can understand what your talking about." Her voice still stern and cold. The young girl followed the pink haired girls fast stride. It was all too obvious she had no desire to be here.

"Okay lets do this quickly." Sakura bit out once they were inside. "Name, position and any details of what happened. Oh and if you could give me times that'd be great too." her eyes darted around the large room. 'Five cameras, three alarms.' She noticed before her eyes rested on the girl. She had bright blonde hair strung up in a high ponytail with a large piece pulled out hanging over her tear stained face. Her outfit was the average high fashion conscious girly style. Sakura had to hold back a laugh. She personally hated all the rich bastards in this town, this could be her break that she had been looking for though.

"Ino Yamanaka, I'm teller number nine. I'm not sure on time, sorry." She apologized as she stared intently at the other girl. "All I remember is gun shots firing. He yelled at everyone to get down and told me to get the money... I was so afraid I thought I was gonna die!" She started becoming hysterical.

Sakura just simply nodded and pointed to the alarm system. "Why didn't you set off the alarm?" Ino shook her head tears falling down her face once again, she desperately looked at Sakura now. "I was afraid, if he heard the siren go off in here he might have shot me!" Sakrua scrunched her nose in disgust. "It would've saved the bank a lot of money if you did something other then give him want he wanted." She deadpanned making the girl cry harder. "What about the cameras? They would've caught footage. Can I see the tapes from them?" She moved to the next subject ignoring the girls sobs. Ino nodded and led Sakura to the security room there were five TV screens and vcrs.

Sakura smirked while she rewound the tapes to the beginning of the day and told Ino that was all she need to know. She dismissed her and pulled the tapes out stacking them in her hands. Once out she set them on the counter glancing back to make sure she couldn't be seen now. She quickly walked to each of the cameras and turned them all off. 'This is going to be too easy' She smirked deviously.

Walking back by the counter she saw a name cark stack next to where she had laid the tapes. 'Ino Yakamata Bank teller number 9.' Sakura scanned the area picking up on the faint fingerprints that were placed on the counter. "Could be something to check out" She muttered to herself, turning around she saw the two bullets on the ground. That was what Neji was talking about, she gently grabbed one of them and recognized it instantly. 'Shit.' Was her only thought as she hastily grabbed the tapes and walked as fast as she could out the door.

The officers had been laughing among themselves, when they realized her presence they all tensed as she looked at them bewildered. "This is nothing to be laughing about. Go back to your stations, Neji get the FBI here tell them to check number 9's counter top. Im taking these with me." She pointed to the tapes and bullet. Neji nodded and watched as she gracefully jumped back into her car and sped back down the road.
