Chapter 5
Well, it's been a little bit longer then I planned. We were doing some remodeling, and it is very hard to write sitting on my knees and the smell of paint filling up my nose. And my internet broke for like, ever. But I'm back now, and have the moment you have all been waiting for. Not only the robbing of the bank, but another surprise as well. You will be shocked and amazed, shocked and amazed…
The time has come!
Okay, I just had to get that out of my system. We were going to do it today. And by it, I mean rob the bank. Everything was all planned, and we were walking through the park to the bank now. We being Nudge, Iggy, Fang, and me. I had sent Gazzy and Angel ahead, and they were waiting on the roof. Angel would get my brainwaves, and tell Gazzy when we went up and out.
That gun problem? I brought it up to Iggy and Fang, and they said they would take care of it. They flew away for a couple days, and came back with five nifty looking guns. I didn't ask, but Gassy seemed to know where they came from. I'm assuming it's from someone they met when we split up years ago, but like I said, I wasn't going to ask.
This was going to be easy. Almost too easy. It would go off without a hitch, and then we'd be set for life! Bank makers prepare for people, but they never expected desperate Avian-Human hybrids to show up.
We were reaching the edge of the woods, and I stopped the others. It was time for the uber effective pep talk. Like it was really necessary.
"All right guys. You know the plan, it's pretty simple. As long as no one fires a gun, we're all good. Nudge, you make sure Iggy gets were he needs to be. Whisper under your breath or something. Fang, you take the one nearest the door, then me, then Iggy, and Nudge is covering the hall. We all understand that, right?"
Everyone nodded. "All right then." I put the black ski mask on, as well as a pair of sunglasses that my girls had thought to pick up. Everyone followed my example, of course, and then I signaled the sprint to the building when the area was clear. We ran alright, and slipped into the building.
Of course, as soon as we walked in, there was a big old ruckus. I mean, there were bank robbers! With big bad guns!
I took center, Fang my right, and Nudge and Iggy my left when we burst in the door.
"Everybody down on the floor, now!" We had earlier decided that Fang would do the most amount of yelling seeing as he was a dude, and dudes were more likely to rob a bank. Girls are to smart to do something as stupid as rob a bank.
There weren't many people in there. I cause that was because we were there so early. Once everybody had shut up in general, Iggy got pretty good bearings. I could tell by the smirk on his face. That and the fact that the room was mostly white helped a lot to. He liked white, he could sorta see that way.
Iggy tossed his gas bombs around the room as we each ran to our tellers, aiming our guns at them. Each of us started yelling at our tellers, who, afraid of being killed, (by blank guns. So funny.) dished over the money. I saw my teller reach under the counter and call the police, and knew they were on their way. Now came my surprise. In Flock language, I told my bird kids the cops were coming. They acknowledged me, and as the tellers were dumping the last of the cash into our back duffle bags, sure enough, we herd sirens. Iggy and I were first to run to the table, soon followed by Fang, then Nudge. "Boomboom on three. Ready? One."
Of course, three meant one. My silent mutterings sounded like gibberish to people, but Iggy threw down his last smoke bomb and started the chain reaction. The bank would now be full of dense smoke for a couple hours at least, and trace of our appearance gone, including the money.
Now, Ange. Have him open up.
We went up and out, and the skylight opened up as Nudge, in the lead, reached the glass. Iggy, hanging onto her ankle, zipped out right in front of Fang and me. The four of us landed on the roof, and tore of sunglasses and masks.
Everyone looked at me, and I grinned. "WE ROBBED THE BANK!!" Cheers rose up, and all of us were grinning. Talk about a five minute adrenaline rush. It felt like that took forever. We were all celebrating, but then Angel and Gazzy, who were facing a different direction then the rest of us, pointed behind our backs and visibly paled.
I whirled around, as well as Fang and Nudge. There was a tall, blond haired blue eyed guy standing their, aiming his gun directly at me. "Who are you and how did you get here?"
"Same way as you, Maximum Ride. Now, listen to me very carefully. You come with me, and don't fight, and I let the rest of you precious flock fly away with the money, without alerting the police. And this gun? It's loaded, so I suggest you do as I say, or I will kill your Flock of one by one."
