Thank you all for the wonderful reviews. No flames, just constructive criticism. Which I love. So I'm going to try to answer your questions in my authorrs note.
Chapter length - I realize that the previous chapters were very short, but the main reason was this is the first story I've ever written. And because of that if everyone panned it, I was just going to delete it. Now take into account that this story has been circulating my brain for two years, I didn't want to invest any more of my soul if everyone hated it. I hope everyone likes this chapter which is over souble the length.
Kenny- After spending the weekend with a lady who has a three year old and a 15 month old, I decided that Kenny is talking a little to well. So I have a proposal for you the reader to input n the story. But I do want you totake into a account that while Kenny is two he will be three soon. I already have a birthday planned for him. But if you would like, I will change hime to three year old turning four so he can have a little more conversation. I don't want him to be older than that because I don't want hime in school yet, cause then he wouldn't have been at the bank and I couldn't really seperate mother and son, cow could I? So you decide what you want.
Sailormoon- This is an alternate universe. So there will be no sailormoon, senshi, or monsters to defeat.
DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN SAILORMOON.
ENJOY!

IN THE CAR OUTSIDE
"Where the hell is she?"Jake said."It's been six minutes since we talked she should have been out by now."
"I'm going to kill her for this! She's just mad cause I made her the getaway driver for this heist."Darien hissed.
"Okay, I'm not fucking around with her on this. Mike, you're now the driver. Jake, when we go in Raye should know to get by the door to sneak out when we leave, but if any security guard decides they want to play cop I want you to use her as the hostage and we'll just take her out when we leave. But there better be no bullets in the gun you have at her head. As much as I want to shoot her right now."
"Already emptied the gun."
"And everybody remember their codes names, I don't want another incident. Jake!"
"It was one time!"
"Yeah, one time to many. I think we should change Jake's name from gun slinger to tongue slipper." Mike joked from the front seat.
"Enough. We need to go."

IN THE BANK. RAYE
"EVERYONE AGAINST THE WALL!"
"Oh, shit. Time's up."
"Raye, what's-"
Serena was cut off as Raye grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her toward the wall by the glass doors.
As Darien and Zach grabbed the bank manager and headed toward the vault, Nick moved all the tellers away from their desks and cut the security cameras.
"OKAY, EVERYONE. THIS IS A ROBBERY, BUT IF YOU CAN ALL JUST BEHAVE FOR NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES WE'LL BE GONE AND NONE OF YOU WILL BE OUT A DIME. WE JUST WANT THE MONEY FROM THE VAULT. SO NOBODY WILL BE HURT AS LONG AS EVERYONE CORPORATES. GOT IT?"
The room was silent after Jake finished his speech. 'Man, could cut the tension with a knife.' Jake mused in his head, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a guard aim his gun at Nick. "KNIGHT, DUCK!" Nick dropped to the floor but the bullet still grazed his right shoulder. Jake shot the guard's gun hand and grabbed his gun.
"Knight, you okay?" "Yeah, he just nicked me." Nick groaned as he got up. Jake focused on the other guard,
who was reaching for his gun, as he reached for Raye. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You wouldn't want to be responsible for someone getting hurt would you?" As the guard shook his head, Jake motioned for him to slide the gun over.
"What's up babe? Darien is pissed. What the hell are you still doing in here?" Jake whispered in her ear as he circled the room with a empty gun at her head.
"I'm sure he is. But it wasn't my fault, look at the blonde by the exit"
As Jake turned he recognized the girl, Serena, that Raye had gone to school with a few years ago and that Darien had fallen head over heals for.
"Okay, so she's here. We shouldn't tell Darien that she's here, but you still should have been able to dodge her with a phone number and I'll be here for few days."
"Well, I would have, but look at what she's holding."
Jake's eyes bugged when he saw a little Darien looking up fearful from his mother's arms.
"Oh, shit!"
"My sentiments exactly."
"We gotta tell Darien."
"No. We can't jepardize this. We'll tell him when we get back and he can high tale it back here to duke it out with her."
"Problem is he'll kill me before he does."
"Jake, listen to me. Or else."
"Shut up, and start acting like a hostage." Jake said as he motioned for Nick to come over.
"What is it Slinger?" a perplexed Nick said after watching the exchange between the couple. "I need the walkie talkie to get hold of Cougar and Code-Breaker." Jake said as he continued to watch the little boy.
Nick handed the radio over with a perplexed look on his face as to what could be so important.
"Hey, Sling here."
"What you want, Sling? We just got into the vault. It'll be eight minutes tops. I think you can wait to go to the bathroom till then." Zach joked on the other line.
"Ha,ha, ha. Not funny. Just tell Cougar that when he gets up here, we need to show him something before we get out of here. I'm dead serious, Breaker"
"Okay, whatever. We'll be up soon. Out."
"Out." Raye shot Jake glares as he cut the line. "You're making a mistake. And I will kill you if I end up in jail." "You won't end up in jail, remember, you're the hostage." Jake calmly said in her ear. "Yeah, a hostage with no record on how she just showed up in this small hick town."
Jake jolted when he started to here a whimper. Realizing it was the little boy's cries, Jake went over to the counter and grabbed another sucker from the a coffee mug.
"Shh, honey. It's okay they're not going to hurt us. They just want the money, and then they'll leave." Jake heard Serena whispered as she rocked her son back and forth.
"No, big bangs." Kenny cried covering his ears. "It's okay. I think their done with the big bangs." Serena soothingly said.
"Here you go little man." Jake smiled through his mask as he gave the little boy the sucker, but it faded as he saw the fear in his mother's eyes
"Please, don't hurt Raye. Nobody else is giving you any trouble. Just don't hurt her."
"If it's in my power, she won't be hurt." Jake reassured.
"No, big bangs." Kenny interrupted, instantly liking the man with the sucker, as he reached out trying to pull his mask off.
"No more bangs. Sorry for hurting your ears earlier, little man, but my mask has to stay on." Jake said as he walked back over to Raye and Nick.
"You an idiot. I don't know what the fuck I've seen in you the last few years cause all I see are god damn stupid moves that endanger everyone else!" Raye fumed as she shot daggers at him while Nick still had a gun to her head.
"It's the hot sex."
"You wish. You'll be lucky to get fed for the next month."
"You always were kinky."
"Go to hell."

VAULT
"I think that's everything, Cougar." Zach said as he watched Darien scan the room for anything left.
"Yeah, I think you're right. Are you sure that was the only secret room in this place?"
"Positive."
"I'll trust you then. And as for you." Darien said as he stared down at the tied up bank manager."I'm sure the other employees will be able to tell the police where you are, since I really don't want to drag your stinking fat ass upstairs." The overweight manager breathed a sigh of relief that they weren't going to kill him, but then seethed as he thought of the ridicule he was going to get from family and friends that he had wet himself.
"By the way, Slinger radioed that he need to show you something before we got out of here." Zach said as they started to make their way back towards the elevator.
"Yeah, I heard you talking with him. I wonder what it is, what can be that interesting in the first floor of a bank?"
"Guess we'll find out soon enough."

BANK
"Knight, are you sure that you're okay?" Raye calmed down as she felt Nick start to lean on her and remembered the gun that nicked him.
"Yeah, I'm just knocked out. They better hurry back out here, I need to get this wrapped up." Nick groaned.
"Let me look at it." Jake said as he walked behind him and lifted the sleeve of his shirt to look at the wound. "Ouch. It's pretty bad, but Doctor will have you healed up in no time. Plus that cook of yours would love to dote on you in bed I'm sure."
"I'm sure she would. She also say that I'm never coming out again, but we can't all get what we want, can we?"
"Stop taking Cook for granted, she knows the risk and, yeah, she's going to pitch a fit, but she's knows you love it." Raye said as she noticed Nick continuing to sag on her.
"That doesn't mean she won't try." Jake continued trying get Nick to keep talking as he noticed the tired look forming in his eyes.
"What the hell happened?" Darien said coming over and assessing the situation with Nick.
"The guard over there with the bandaged hand decided to have a gun fight." Jake said pointing out the guard who had a taken off his shirt to stop the bleeding of his hand that was now missing a finger.
"Why the heck were you calling us? I know we need to get Nick out of here, but this shit happens often."
"Jake, you tell him and I'll-" Raye glared at Jake as Zach tried to keep her restrained with Darien now helping Nick to keep standing.
"FireBall, shut the fuck up!" Darien whispered as Raye slipped Jake's real name. " Jake, tell me what the hell is going on right now cause we need to get out of here."
"By the glass doors." Everyone's eyes turned from Jake towards the doors, to see what appeared to be a fearful mother holding her small son, but what Raye, Jake, and most of all Darien saw was something that was going to change their lives forever.
"Sling, what the hell? It's just some single mom." Zach said getting angry after Raye had elbowed him trying to get to Jake.
"Cougar, do you see what I'm seeing."
"Yeah, I think I do." Darien whispered, his eyes going wide at the sight of the little boy in Serena's arms.
"Cougar, leave it. You can come back and deal with this mess, but we got get out of here for Knight and the rest of us." Raye whispered trying to loosen Zach's death grip.
"Coug, what you want us to do?" Jake asked, as Nick and Zach both looked on with confusion.
BEEP!
"What the fuck!" Jake exclaimed as he looked at the radio on his belt.
"What you want Mouse?"
"Cut the shit. Where are you guys? We need to go, now!"
"Will be out in a second." Jake said as he put the radio back on his belt.
Darien looked once more at the boy and Raye saw his decision.
"Take her and the boy and lets go."
Serena started to panic as she saw the same man that had come over earlier, return. Kenny looked at the man with a smile on his face, no longer sensing danger.
"Mam, please come with me."
"Please, no. I don't have anything. My family has no money for a ransom. It's just my son and me. Please don't harm him." Serena begged.
"Neither one of you will be harmed. I just need to get up with your son and come with us. Now. I don't want this to get ugly." Jake calmly said trying to get Serena to come peacefully. "Hey, little man, want to come on a adventure?" Serena's eyes bugged when he started to talk to the boy, but her son just smiled and shook his head yes.
"Just come on." Jake urged as he reached for his gun. "Okay. Okay. We'll come with you, just please don't hurt my son." Serena tearfully said. "Just as long as you come with me."
Serena calmly got up with Kenny in her arms and walked out the doors with the robbers. All the while wishing,
she had just stayed in bed with Kenny this morning.
