The car ride to the bank only took five minutes but it felt longer. Ryan was scrunched down on the floor in an awkward position. His arm was killing him and it took all his will power not to scream in pain every time the truck bumped up and down.
John pulled into the bank parking lot and shut off the car.
"Give me your hands." He said to Caleb and Caleb lifted them to John. John cut the tape and took it off. "You say a word to anyone in there the boy dies." He said in a low tone. Ok Caleb may not have liked the kid before but even he didn't want him dead. He just wanted him out of Newport. So Caleb nodded and went in to the bank, John looked over his shoulder to a huddled Ryan on the floor. "You better hope he doesn't fuck you." He said then laughed. Ryan just glared at him through the hair that covered his eyes. John may be his father but he hated that man.
Caleb walked in to the bank and went up to the teller.
"Hi Marcy." He said.
"Hi Mr. Nichol. I have your check for you." She stated and he filled out the withdrawal slip.
"Thank very much." He said.
"No problem. Hope your business deal goes well." She said and smiled. In Newport, especially Caleb Nichol, taking out money of that amount was normal.
"Yea. Me too." He said back. 'More then you know' he thought as he left. After he left the bank he noticed that John was watching he every move. He calmly walked to the truck and got in.
"Here is your check."Caleb said and handed it to the man. John looked at him.
"Are you kidding me? Checks can be traced." John said angrily. "I wanted Cash!" Ryan flinched at the tone of his fathers voice.
"Cash would cause suspicion." Caleb reasoned. "If you want we can go to your bank and you can cash or deposit it right now." Caleb wanted to get this over with as fast as possible. John rubbed his face. All he wanted was some quick cash and he got issues.
"They can't cash a check this big and if I deposit it you can track it. I'm not stupid." John said through clenched teeth. Caleb was shocked the man knew what he was up to but didn't show it.
"Well I can put it back. IF you want something less then I can get cash." Caleb calmly stated. Ryan quietly listened from the floor in the back. He knew how much shit they were in but Caleb didn't get how dangerous the man sitting next to him was.
"How much less will it have to be to be cash?" John said annoyed. 'Don't piss him off to much Mr. Nichol' Ryan said to himself praying that Caleb would give him what he wants.
"No more then 10 grand." Caleb said calmly.
"That's only 10 percent of the million!" John yelled. 'Wow the boy can do math' Caleb thought to himself.
"I know but if you want cash..." He trailed off. John groaned.
"Ok. Fine. Let's make this happen." John said pissed. "I want to get the hell out of here."Caleb went to get out of the car. "Where are you going?" John asked.
"To get your money." Caleb stated. He had his own vault in the bank which held bills. John nodded.
"Don't do anything stupid or I will kill the kid." John stated in the most dead serious of voices. Ryan shuddered and saw Caleb tense.
"I won't." Caleb said and headed back to the bank. Once he left John turned to Ryan.
"So enjoying yourself kid?" He smiled wickedly. Ryan looked up at him trying not to look scared. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" John taunted. Ryan wanted to do nothing but punch him out. "Once I get the money, the fun begins." John snickered. Ryan knew that was never good.
Caleb walked in to the bank and back to the teller. "Change of plans." He stated. Ripping up the check. She asked what happened and he said that the seller backed out. He was just going to go into his safety deposit vault. Most people just had boxes... he had a vault. He used his key and security code and walked in. He put the money in to a briefcase he had in there and walked back out. He opened the car door and got in.
"Here." He stated and John opened it.
"Good." He said and the left the bank.
"Now you can let me and the boy go." Caleb stated. John laughed. Yea like it was going to be that easy.
