An American Crime Saga Part 1

Hello! I know that I'm kinda writing this story fast, but that's good… right? Anyways, I want more reviews!!! And if it isn't too much to ask, please recommend my stories in your reviews. Well, here's chapter 4!

Chapter 4:

Hours passed by as Jimmy began looking through the blueprints to find a way into the bank that wasn't the front door. You see, even though Jimmy obviously knew what to do to get the money into the right account, anyone could override the transfer from within the bank. That's where Sheen's gang come in.

The gang had to ensure that the transfer wasn't overridden, and if that meant killing, a gang could do that and nobody would link it to him. And when death is on the line, you don't casually waltz through the front door.

It had to go down like this:

1: Jimmy logs on to the power mainframe and shuts down the system locks. That means that Jimmy can transfer money without requiring a password or any sort of verification.

2: Jimmy transfers $500,000 from several different accounts to 600 different accounts that would have to be made by 600 individual gang members under false i.d's. You see, $500,000 is the maximum balance the bank can hold, so Jimmy would have to steal from 600 express accounts. These accounts are accounts that are only there for people who start with the maximum balance.

3: After that, gang members enter one by one over the course of a week and cancel their respective accounts, withdrawing $500,000 each. However, this may be a little too strait forward and that is why Jimmy is looking for a way that they could simply hold up the bank. It would be faster and easier, but may just add too much unwanted involvement by the police. So…

3 (Plan B): The gang storms the bank as a group and demand the money from the accounts they had previously created. The bankers obviously don't know that these are the men who had created the accounts because of the false i.d's. They also are too frightened by the fact that there are hundreds of gang members in the bank holding guns, they fail to notice or care that the account balances have gone so high up overnight. They walk out with the money, that might take a while to pack up in suitcases, and go into hiding.

Worst case scenario: The alarm is triggered by an employee and the police arrive. There would be countless casualties, but the police would be outnumbered and the gang still gets away with the money. Jimmy would get his money and go into hiding in Madagascar with Cindy. Meanwhile, several gang members may be arrested, but the crime wouldn't be linked to Jimmy and Jimmy would have what he wanted, 3 million dollars.

Now, Jimmy had realized that they would have to enter through the front door, as there were no other options. Oh well, it wouldn't make much of a difference to Jimmy. Now it was time to tell Sheen the plan.

"Hello, Sheen?" Jimmy called Sheen.

"What's up, Jimbo?"

"I've got the plan." Jimmy told his pal.

"Wow, it's only been three hours since I told you to get started! No wonder we needed you! So, whatcha got?" Sheen exclaimed.

Jimmy ran through the plan for Sheen. Every last detail was covered.

"Well, I'll be damned! That is some plan you got there, Jimbo! Just one thing… I like plan B better. It'll help us to just storm in there with loaded guns in their faces. However, it may help just to go in there blazing and leave one alive, but wounded. That one could do it for us while we'll have an easier time watching her and making sure she don't pull the alarm." Sheen explained to Jimmy.

"Okay, whatever works for you guys, now I will do my part in three days and I'm off to Madagascar. You guys can do the rest. I trust my name won't be mentioned in an interrogation room, right?" Jimmy said.

"You got it." Sheen said, "I'll come to Madagascar personally with your money and tell you how it all went down, okay?"

"Okay. Now go get started on opening those accounts!" Jimmy had made the plan and knew how to perform his part. Now all he had to do was wait.

"Hone!" Cindy called out for her husband, "I'm going to bed!"

"Okay, honey! I love you!"

"I love you too!" Cindy replied. The two didn't really seem to want to speak after that decision Cindy had made. They each had too much on their minds.

Jimmy needed dinner and he needed to sell his house in three days. Best he get started then, he thought.

It didn't take long to get some buyers for the house, as Jimmy planned on only bringing some valuable possessions and leaving the home pre-furnished for any buyers. This got rid of the need for movers or anything like that. Besides, he and Cindy wanted to start over and raise a family. That meant new furniture as well.

Jimmy stopped at the deli sandwich place he'd been to earlier that day with Carl. Jimmy ordered the same thing he'd had earlier, a BLT with New England Clam Chowder. Jimmy realized as he bit into his sandwich how much he was going to miss Retroville. Maybe tomorrow he'd go for a night on the town with Cindy. Visit Carl, Libby, go see a show, just enjoy themselves for their last few days as Retroville citizens.

Jimmy returned home and went strait to bed.

The next morning, Jimmy awoke with a yawn. It was a beautiful day outside as the sky was clear and blue. Cindy was already awake, and was downstairs making breakfast, bacon and eggs with orange juice, with the radio blasting. Jimmy wanted to start their day on the town early, so he had to go and eat fast.

"Oh Honey!!!" Jimmy had to yell over the radio, blasting Journey's "Don't Stop Believing", to tell her.

"Yeah!" She replied, yelling.

"I was wondering if you might want to go on a drive around town, you know, seeing as how we're leaving soon!"

"What?! Let me turn down the radio!" Cindy said, "There, now what did you say?"

"I said would you like to go around town and visit some friends or something, seeing as it's one of our last days here?" Jimmy repeated himself.

"I'd like that." Cindy answered, "But eat your breakfast first, then we'll go."

Jimmy quickly devoured his breakfast because he'd eaten so little the night before. Their first stop was Carl's.

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang at Carl's parent's house.

"Achoo!" Mr. Wheezer sneezed.

"Bless you…" Cindy politely said.

"Oh, thanks. So Jimmy, what brings you and your lovely wife here?" Mr. Wheezer asked.

"Well, me and Cindy are leaving on vacation soon and we'd like to say goodbye to Carl."

"Oh, well come on in! I'll go get him!" Mr. Wheezer screamed to Carl to come soon after.

"Oh hey, Jimmy! We can talk in my room!" Carl suggested.

Carl's room was filled with llama posters and things like that. Carl was still a kid at heart and hadn't changed much. Jimmy explained the story to his pal.

"So you helped Sheen! Well that's mighty nice of you, Jimmy! You know, he never called me to help him. Oh well!" Carl was happy to hear Jimmy had made a decision.

"I'm going to be gone for a while, Carl. I just wanted to say goodbye and that I'll stay it touch. Okay!" Jimmy explained.

"Okay, Jimmy! I'll miss you. I'll write to you every week if my parents let me use their postage stamps… Bye!" Carl was going to miss Jimmy, and Jimmy could see some sadness in his pal's eyes.

"I'll miss you too, Carl. Goodbye!" The two shared a hand shake and Jimmy and his wife left. Libby's was next.

"Oh, hey guys! What brings ya here?" Libby asked the couple.

"Libby, me and Jimmy are leaving for Madagascar soon. WE just wanted to say goodbye." Cindy did the talking this time.

"Oh! Come on in for some coffee and we can talk!" Libby said. She was going to miss them, too.

"No!" Jimmy and Cindy both screamed. Libby's coffee wasn't the best coffee in the world…

"Whatever. And Jimmy, if anything goes wrong, just tell be and I'll help ya out. I'll miss you guys." Libby told her two very best friends.

"We'll miss you, too!" Libby and Cindy hugged and Libby kissed Jimmy on the cheek to say goodbye.

Jimmy and Cindy drove by Sam's Ice Cream Parlor for some lunch. They each ordered the same thing, a vanilla sundae with hot fudge and a cherry. Jimmy always gave his cherry to Cindy.

"Well, two days left 'till the big day." Jimmy said, thinking up conversation.

"Jimmy…" Cindy said.

"Yeah, honey?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, Cindy."

"Jimmy, you know that if we're going to raise a family and go through all of this, you really need to be committed to having a family." Cindy said.

"Yep. I am very committed, hone. But are you?" Jimmy asked.

"I am more than committed, Jimmy. I want a family and that's the only reason I'm doing this. It's not about the money for me! It's not the tropical paradise, and it isn't the house! It's the family! And all I'm concerned of is that you may be in it only for the money!" Cindy explained to her husband.

"It will never be about money between us, Cindy. I love you and I want a family with you and that's it! Here, if I cared about money would I do this?" Jimmy reached into his wallet and pulled out all of his money. He ripped it all in half just to prove a point.

"And if I didn't love you and want a family, would I do this?!" Jimmy then swept his wife off her feet and passionately kissed her.

"Okay, I believe you Jimmy!" Cindy was happy. She even laughed when they realized that the money Jimmy had ripped was the money he needed to pay for the ice cream. The two walked out of the store without paying.

"A little practice never hurt!" Jimmy laughed. Sam Jr. didn't really notice, so it was all good. When the couple returned home, the plane tickets were waiting in the mail. Attached was a letter from Sheen reading:

Sorry to face you with this kind of situation, Jimmy. This is the best I can do to make it up to you. As UltraLord always said, "Forgiveness is the key to a happy life."

Jimmy smiled. He thought Sheen had forgotten about those days where he'd watched all of those cartoons. Things were looking up. Now there was only a day left until his life changed. It was just time to relax…

So… how was it? Please review and wait for chapter 5, the final chapter of part 1. It should be coming any day now! Bye for now!
