Can you believe it is November 1st already? Crazy, right?
Chapter 7
The one dressed like Chucky fires a machine gun making everyone scream. I watch as the other men bring in large, black cases.
I take a deep breath and run back to my dad's office. I know I only have a few minutes before they get in here. I quickly head to my dad's desk getting his gun. I load it taking some more bullets. I strap it onto my ankle and move to the cabinet climbing up and move the front of the vent and slide inside the airshaft. I just get the cover back in place when the door opens and in walk two men. One is dressed like Freddy Krueger and the other as Jason Voorhees.
"The office is clear," Freddy yells before they walk back out. I slide further in the airshaft and grab my cell calling Jasper.
"Hey, Bella," Jasper answers politely.
"Jasper, Stanley Bank is being held up. I'm unsure on the number of armed men and hostages. One of the hostages is Edward Cullen. I'm in the airshaft right now, and they haven't seen me. I have one weapon," I say quickly and quietly.
"Shit, sit tight, Bella, we're on our way," Jasper says. I hang up turning off the ringer and the vibration, knowing that they'd reveal me to the bad guys.
I crawl slowly along the air vent until I'm above the main part of the bank. I look down trying to see what I can see. I start taking pictures of both the armed people, as well as the hostages.
We have ten armed men all dressed in various evil character costumes. The one, who I believe to be the leader, is dressed as Chucky. Then there's: Michael Myer, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Scream, Pinhead, Hannibal Lecter, Leather-face, Jeepers-Creeper and Pennywise. We also have thirty-two hostages and bank employees—ten are women, three are under ten, two are teens, the rest are men. Of the seventeen men, five are the security guards that work for the bank, but it looks as if their weapons have been removed.
"Well, well, look who we have here," Jeepers-Creepers says. "Detective Edward Cullen. Hey guys, this asshole arrested me."
I quickly take another picture of him and send it off to Jasper saying that Edward has arrested him before. I also send over pictures of all of the rest of the guys and the hostages.
"I have arrested lots of people," Edward says calmly. I look at him then to the right, seeing my dad looking around. His eyes slowly go up and I know by the look on his face that he has seen me. I give him the shush sign and he looks away. Both of our eyes go back to Edward just as the man hits him hard. I lay down away from the opening. And bring up an empty text screen. I quickly type out the information in like height, build, accent and name of the character they are dressed as.
I stay there listening to what they are all saying. I look down and see that Chucky and Jeepers-Creepers guys are still not back from wherever they went. I move away slowly to see if I can find them. It takes me a good few minutes to find them sitting in my dad's office. I just get to the vent opening when Freddy walks in.
"Okay, stage one is complete."
Chucky, the guy I know for a fact is in charge nods at Freddy, followed by Jeepers-Creepers. "Move on to stage two," he orders.
Both Freddy and Jeepers-Creepers say "Yes, Sir" and walk out of the office. I sit and watch as Chucky picks up the phone and dials the emergency number.
"Help, please help, I am at the Stanley Bank, it's being held up. Please come, oh my God," he says sounding like he's scared. He hangs up quickly and smiles leaning back in his seat. I move a little away from the vent and text Jasper to let him know the guy that just called in about the holdup is Chucky, the guy in charge. I also ask him to not say anything about me being in here. There's something about this whole set up that feels off.
A/N: So Bella is in the air-shaft and there is a band of scary dressed bank robbers. I know there are a lot of questions as to the friendship of Edward and Charlie, those questions will be answered, soon, just not yet.
