Chapter 3
Two masked men charge in the store and yell for everyone to get down. Murdock crouches down behind a lotto table. He looks quickly for Amy who is still in the ladies room and says a quick prayer that she heard the yelling and stays where she is. He shifts so that he can see out the window he can see the van, the passenger doors are still open but he doesn't see his friends. Finally he see's them on the other side of the van. He knows now they are aware of what is going on in the store. Murdock sees the State troopers pull in and get out of their car. His stomach tightens because one of the gunman also sees them. As the officers make it in the store he opens fire on them. Both men are hit and fall to the floor. The gunman goes over to the officers and takes their weapons. The men are injured but still alive. He also takes their radio's.
"What the hell did you do that for , now we are gonna have every cop in the county here!" says the gunman with the blue ski mask.
"Just get the money and shut your mouth" the shooter yells
"Give us the money now!" The blue mask says
The clerk hits a button on the register and the drawer opens. He takes what money is in there and puts it in a bag.
"All of it! Where is the rest? There should be more people have been buying Lottery tickets all day" the shooter has grabbed the bag from the clerk and looks at the small amount
"It's in the safe. I just did a drop" the clerk stammers
"Well open it ,come on!"
" I can't I don't know the combination!" the clerk cries
"You better get it open or I am gonna waste everyone in here starting with you!" the shooter has moved behind the counter and is holding his gun against the clerk.
Murdock took a chance while the robbers had their back to him to scamper over to the fallen police officers. He checked them out and saw that neither one was mortally wounded . One took a shot to the shoulder the other had a gun shot in the arm. He grabbed a roll of paper towels of a nearby shelf and made make shift bandages for the officers to hold.
He could hear the clerk whimpering behind the counter as he struggled to open the safe. Murdock looked towards the bathroom and saw Amy stick her head around the corner,he waved her back and mouthed to her to get back in the bathroom. She turned to quick and knocked over a a soda case that was sitting in the hall. Blue skimask saw it and grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the hall.
Murdock stood up, fists clenched and moved to get in between his friend and the gunman. The Masked man raised his weapon and pointed it at Murdock.
"You don't want to do that friend,Not if you want that money out of the safe." Murdock said his voice steady.
"You can open it?" the shooter asked
" I can but you are gonna have to let the others go. They can help the police out to get medical help."
Murdock was betting the team was ready to intervene but didn't want to endanger anyone else in the store. If he could get Amy and the other 3 out, then the team could take out the robbers.
"We should just go man, I don't want to go to jail for killing people." Blue skimask was saying to his partner.
"I didn't do all this work for a lousy 50 bucks man. Ok If you are lying I will kill you." The shooter let the clerk off the floor and told him to grab on of the cops and get outside. He had Amy do the same.
"Murdock no don't do this." Amy yelled as she grabbed Murdock's arm.
"Don't argue Amy, those people need help. Get them out of here I'll be fine. Remember I learned from the best. A half Pincher movement will open it right up." Murdock said to her with a wink.
Amy took one more look back as the shooter pushed Murdock behind the counter to the safe. She helped the second officer outside.
