chapter 2- well here it is, the 2nd chapter of this story. please review
At first, Jimmy thought he had misunderstood the request of the tall stranger, but a few seconds later the words were repeated- "If anyone moves, then she gets it!"
What kind of sick joke is this? thought Jimmy. It wasn't a joke. Sure enough, the stranger held Cindy with one arm, and a gun in the other.
No one in the room spoke. Instead, one by one, the occupants of the bank lay face down on the floor.
For a moment, Jimmy told himself that he was brave enough to wrestle away the gun and ensure the safety of everyone, Cindy most importantly.
Eventually, Jimmy's weaker side won him over and he quickly lay himself on the hard cold floor of the bank.
"Okay, here's the deal. You, put the money in a bag and hurry it up!" said the gunman, pointing to a bank teller.
The teller swiftly stood up from the floor and started filling a bag with money.
"If anyone dares move, then she's in big trouble!" said the gunman.
No one moved or spoke.
Jimmy tried to catch Cindy's eye, but all he saw was a frightened girl.
Many thoughts filled Cindy's head as she stood as still as possible in the grasp of the gunman. She was terrified. Never before had she thought of the concept of death, but now that it was so close, she thought hard about it. There were so many things that she'd yet to do. She hadn't graduated from Jr. High yet. She hadn't written the novel that she had promised herself she would. Most importantly, she hadn't told Jimmy the truth.
Cindy knew that Jimmy was looking at her, trying to make eye contact, but she avoided his gaze, afraid that he would see that she was scared. Of course, she was alowed to be scared, but she didn't want Jimmy to know that.
The gunman's grasp of her tightened, and the pain grew more intense. She felt the cold of the gun against her head, and felt that in a matter of minutes that she would no longer be there.
Tears lept at her eyes, but she forced them back...she wasn't weak.
Jimmy had a plan. Since he had his watch on, he could contact the cops, and they would arrive in a matter of minutes. Jimmy pressed the button on his watch, alerting the police without the strangers notice.
Sirens filled the air within a matter of minutes, and that the gunman noticed.
"Who called the cops? Who did it! I told you all that if you just let me leave peacfully then no one would get hurt, but now that the cops are involved, then someone certainly will." yelled the gunman. He waved around the gun wildly.
Jimmy closed his eyes as a shot rang through the air. He could only pray that it hadn't harmed Cindy.
