Chapter 1
It is a beautiful day, the sun is just starting to rise. As the warmth reaches my skin I stop for just a moment to take it in. I had woken up early to go for a jog, trying to sneak out of the house before I could wake up my boys. Stopping at the edge of the park I took a couple sips of my water, just noticing a group of 3 guys checking me out. As I gave them a quick look, I gestured to my hand where my ring was. They turned in the opposite direction and ran off to avoid any further humiliation. I let out a small chuckle and started to jog again, reaching the end of the block I crossed the street stopped jogging when I noticed a woman with her child, she dropped something out of her purse, not noticing that it had fallen out she walked into the bank on the corner. I quickly jogged over to get it before someone else picked it up. I knew it was a wallet when I picked it up, and I proceeded into the bank to hand it back to her. It was a decent size bank so I tried to locate the woman as I walked in. I spotted her digging through her purse trying to find something, which I assumed was the thing I was holding. walking closer to her she didn't notice me,
"Excuse me I think you dropped this outside, and I just wanted to return it" I said lifting my hand up to show her the wallet.
The woman quickly replied, "Thank you so much, you are a lifesaver!"
After she quickly inspected that everything was there I turned around and headed for the door. Just as I turned around a group of guys pulled out some masks and put them on. I knew something bad was going to happen so I tried to get close to the woman that I just gave the wallet back to. As I reached her the men pulled out guns and started shooting them in the air to get everyone's attention. I pulled both the woman and her child to the ground to protect them from and stray shots.
"Stay down" I told the woman as I lay down beside them on the floor. Instinctively my hand went to my hip for my gun, as I quickly realized that I left it at home with my badge.
After about half a minute of getting everyone on the ground, one of the men collected cell phones, another watched everyone and gathered us into a corner, while the last 2 grabbed the bank manager and forced im towards the vault in the back. From their behavior I could tell that they wanted to get the money and get out quick before the cops could arrive and stop them. As I was ushered with the woman and her kid to the corner with everyone, I heard a couple of sirens getting closer. This was not good, this was going to become a hostage situation.
Just as the guy holding the gun in front of us realized the sirens, he yelled for his partners, "Guys, the police are almost at the door, we need to move now or we won't get out in time"
The 2 guys that went back with the bank manager came back to the front and were just about to head out the door when a couple cop cars pulled out in front. The officers got out and held out there guns aiming at the doors.
"Shit" One of the robbers yelled when he saw the front door was blocked.
The leader paused for a moment and looked at the hostages then back at the front doors. "I guess we will have to negotiate our way out boys" He was looking back around the group of hostages when he saw me he kept his eyes on me for a couple of seconds before walking away.
