A familiar face crept in to her dreams that night. She shifted in to a more
comfortable position next to Chandler as if preparing her self for the
dream. Places and more people came in to her mind, they were familiar too
but she could not remember who they were. It was like many feelings and
sights she had been feeling and seeing lately. She knew she had felt them
or seen them before but couldn't remember where.
He was sitting at the kitchen table in her apartment, his face was different from the last time she had seen him. Last time he had looked about 50 even though he had just turned 28. he was laughing brightly at something Chandler was saying, taking constant sips of his coffee, as if he was in a rush but the coffee was too hot. She could see herself as well, checking her watch every few moments, as if also in a rush. She saw her mouth open and her own voice speak words she could not remember.
'Come on Joey, we're going to be late, the back closes at 5.' She said. Joey smiled and winked at her.
'Ok Mon I'm coming.' He said, placed the coffee mug in the sink and grabbed his coat from the back of his chair. During that time Monica had already acquired her coat, purse and shoes. They left quickly saying a brief goodbye to Chandler and Rachel who were both still in the kitchen talking. She could see the vaguely familiar sights of New York as they walked down to the nearest bank to them. There was a queue and Monica could see that her face was nervous at not making it to the checkout counter on time but Joey was clam and relaxed.
Monica shifted again in her sleep, her face screwed up, as if the images before her eyes were disturbing. She knew what was coming up next, even if she didn't remember it. She was still asleep as she thought about the dream, it was the last night that she could remember her life, this was the night that was sending one of her best friends that she didn't know any more to death row for a mistake. She was about to clear all that up.
She watched the event unfold before her. Everyone was beginning to disperse from the bank, only five people were left, not including herself or Joey or the clerks behind the desk, two of them being about five years old. Monica could hear herself try to answer Joey's questions about how to set up a new account.
Suddenly there was a loud gunshot, one of the few customers left had retrieved a gun from his pocket and had shot it to the ceiling to get peoples attention. He grabbed the nearest person to him to hold hostage, unfortunately this happened to be a young mother, her small baby in the pushchair which was knocked to the ground, the baby's screams were soon the only thing to be heard in the building. Another one of the customers, apparently the others partner in this robbery had moved over to lock the door.
'Nobody move!' The first robber was saying. The young mother was beginning to sob as she realised what was happening. Her baby was still screaming from the floor and Monica could see that it was beginning to annoy the robbers. 'Shut that thing up!' He yelled at the Monica in the dream. She saw herself cautiously reach down to the baby and pick it up, and even through all that was happening she could see that she was good with baby's. she rocked the baby, trying to calm it down, trying to detach herself from the event happening just feet from her.
'Anyone moves or presses the alarm then she gets it!' the second robber said in a menacing voice. Everybody, scared beyond reason, obeyed the two men, dressed in back and doing their best to cover their faces. 'Nobody look at us!' He yelled as he saw Joey staring at him. 'Get down on the floor and don't look up.' He ordered. Everyone obeyed.
'Now, You!' The first robber said at the young man behind the cash register. He was the only one remaining, his co-workers had gone home thinking that he would be bale to manage. It was only minutes before closing time and the few customers left didn't look like any trouble. The man in black picked up a bag and ordered the young man to put all the money in the safe in the bag. He did so in silence. The only sounds that were heard during the time that the bag was being filled with the robbers goal were the desperate sobs of the young mother.
The bag was now bulging with money as it was handed back to the robber. The two men in black smiled at each other and nodded. The second man spoke.
'Now, nobody get up until we're both gone. There's no point telling the police, they can never trace us, we don't exist.' He laughed as the first robber rolled his eyes and shot a look at his partner to tell him to shut up.
The two men started to walk backwards, the young mother still in the mans arms. The gun was still pointed at her head as they advanced towards their freedom. They didn't realise the people still on the floor as they walked backwards and only remembered as they tripped over one of them. The gun was fired at the sudden movements and blood splattered over the tiled floor as the young mother fell to the floor dead.
Monica felt the scene change as the vision went from an onlookers to her view at the time. She could hear the screams of the other three customers, her own screams and the frantic yells of the tow robbers as they tried to regain the order they had held a moment ago. The man dropped the body to the floor without giving it a second thought and pointed the gun to the customers, Joey and herself, still holding the baby.
'Quiet!' He yelled. His voice was firm and steady but his face was horrified. He fired the gun to try and get the power back. Two other customers fell to the floor. Silence filled the room once more and the men started to retreat again. An alarm sounded breaking the nervous quiet and the men froze, everyone in the room turned to look from where the noise was coming from. A red light flashed in the corner, clearly pointing out the person responsible for raising the signal. In the corner stood two terrified young children, only about five years old. The second man glared at the two children and reached down in the sports bag he was holding to fetch his own weapon. A shiny baseball bat was pulled out of the bag and he held it high above his head, ready to attack. His partner was yelling at him to leave now, before the cops came but he took no notice.
'No! I'll teach them whose boss!' He yelled to the room. His partner threw the gun to the floor and ran out of the door. The remaining robber seemed not to notice this and started to smash everything in sight. He ran over to the corner and chased after the children, who screamed and ran towards the cashier who had come from behind the desk. The man raised the bat and swung it towards the cashiers head. He fell to the floor instantly, not moving. The robber continued to smash things, including the video cameras that had been recording their every move.
He advanced towards Monica and the dream went black before she could learn the end.
Ok I had sudden inspiration to write this so I did. This was mostly to clear some points, like what exactly happened and how Joey was framed. ( I know that wasn't exactly shown but it will in the next chapter) Please leave a review, I've already wrote the next chapter, I just need lots of good reviews to inspire me to post them ;)
