//-------------------------------------------------------// Stockholm Syndrome -by LiQuiD- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Day 1 - Bank Job //-------------------------------------------------------// Day 1 - Bank Job It's a sunny day in the city of Canterlot. Near the suburbs, a 27-year-old woman walks to her workplace, her name is Fluttershy; and her job is running the animal rescue center that she loved to volunteer for back in her high school years. Her kind nature and desire to help those little and helpless creatures warms her heart. Unfortunately, things aren't going too well at the moment for the sweet and shy woman, the building is breaking down more and more each day that passes, the plumbing needs to be fixed, and the pets need their food daily, not just once in a couple of days. Some of them require medicines, and she doesn't get enough funding to attend the animals' necessities. Canterlot's citizens don't want to adopt an abused pet, they just buy a puppy or a kitten for their children at those expensive pet shops. While the docile director of the rescue center can only sigh at the people's coldness, an idea came to her mind. you'll just need a bit of economical support, and she'll only get it by asking for a loan at the bank. Fluttershy takes off her labcoat and closes the center for the day. It's not like someone will come to adopt a pet anyways. The animals need food and medicines quickly! She thought. On her way to the bank, Fluttershy notices her lovely bird friends, singing a beautiful song, which she accompanies with her lovely voice. "Hello birdies, oh, your singing is so so pretty," she says as she lets a bird land on her finger, "I'm going to the bank to ask for a loan to help the other critters, then I'm sure people will adopt them and they'll live in with beautiful kids!" She excitedly says as the birds fly away. Minutes later Fluttershy arrives to the bank, and sees that there are lots of people inside. "Oh my-" she mutters. "Good morning!" a woman from the banks' personnel greets her. "Umm...g-good morning," she quietly replies, " I'm h-here to ask for a loan." "A loan huh? Okay, the manager will attend you in a few minutes, please have a seat over there", the woman points to a chair far away from her. "T-thank you," Fluttershy nervously says before walking slowly to the chair. She sits down and takes out a book out of her purse, because something is telling her that she'll be stuck in there for a long time. MEANWHILE A van is approaching the bank, its passengers are nothing but the infamous "Hell Crew" that consists of four dangerous men. "Okay guys, let's test the earpieces, Steel? can you hear me?" "Affirmative!", your teammate says while he loads his AK-47. Steel: The Master Mind, 39-years-old, experimented and ruthless heister. Worked as a drug dealer back in the day. "Good. How about you Elf?" "Yep," he replies as he puts nitrile gloves on his hands. Elf: The Ghost, 31-years-old, college drop-out and alcoholic, expert in stealth and midnight heists. "Wheels?" "Loud and clear boss," he says. Wheels: The Enforcer, 35-years-old, ex-military and former mercenary, drug addict and extremely dangerous. "Moose?" "Yeah, I can." Moose: The Technician, 28-years-old, former upstanding citizen and Canterlot native, addicted to gambling and owes a lot of money to loan sharks. "Good, today we're robbing a small bank gentlemen!" The Boss: no one knows his age, or name, he's your contractor and the brains of the group What went wrong in your life? Making the wrong decisions and your addiction to gambling left you without a penny in your accounts. The decision that costed you a fortune and put your life in jeopardy was betting for that horse at the races. After you lost your job when the company you worked for went bankrupt earning easy money via bets seemed appropiate. The savings you had? They quickly dissappeared. After this heist, you'll be finally able to pay those loan sharks their money and they will leave you alone for sure. The van carrying you and your crew parks in an alley next to the bank. "Moose! We're here, focus!" Wheels yells at you. "Alright guys, here's the master plan! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_tEbxd1ng8). I want this to be a homerun, watch out for guards and cameras, take the the thermal drill my contact left for you in the parking lot; then, control the crowd and open the vault, take whatever is inside, money time!" https://camo.derpicdn.net/f4758d22d056f7cf11a978eb26459221c5ea6301?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi.stack.imgur.com%2FtbJtZ.jpg "Simple enough, come on gang, let's make some money," Steel says, "we'll do this silently, but if shit hits the fan Wheels will take care of everything, isn't that right Wheels?" "Yeaaah," Wheels says as he takes out a SCAR-17 CQC out of the van, "I can't wait to waste some motherfuckers," he lets out a vicious laugh. "IF shit hits the ceiling Wheels, only if! We'll try our best to do our job quietly, Moose and Elf, you guys go first. Don't bring any body armour, or else the civilians will get suspicious," Steel orders. You and Elf hop off the van and head to the bank's back entrance; your job is quite simple. Since you're the technician of the group you're in charge of the thermal drill. "Mask up when you're ready to roll!" Elf is the ghost, and he'll take care of the cameras and the guards. If you do this just as the four of you planned, the police won't show up; piece of cake. If any of the civilians or the bank's personnel call the police, Steel and Wheels will take care of them. Especially Wheels, he might be a scary psychopath, but he's real good at his job. "Moose! Move your ass, we don't have all day!" Steel says. Meanwhile, in the bank manager's office. "What do you mean you don't have any properties Miss Fluttershy!?" He angrlily yells at Fluttershy. "Um, it's true, I don't own anything like that," she shyly replies. "Well? If we don't have any guarantee that you'll return our money why are you wasting my time then?" "But, but...y-you don't understand!" Fluttershy pleads, "it's for a good cause! T-the rescue center needs-" "Let me get this straight!" The manager interrupts Fluttershy, "if you didn't know, this is a bank! Not a charity organization!" Fluttershy is starting to tear up at the manager's rude words and begs, "p-please, I need the money urgently! If I don't get it the critters will-" "I DON'T CARE!" The manager shouts at a stressed and scared Fluttershy. "If you excuse me, Miss Fluttershy, I have to take care of more important clients. Have a good day," he says as he stands up and exits his office. Fluttershy takes out a handkerchief out of her pink purse and begins to sob. It seems that she'll have to buy pet food for some of her animals with most of her paycheck, she thought. Aggghh- Fluttershy wonders what was that noise. So she stands up and slowly peeks her head out of the manager's office. "...Oh no-" The first thing she sees is a masked man placing the bank manager's into a blue bag and cleaning some of the blood that is pouring out of his bald head. Fluttershy quickly hides under the bank manager's desk. "I can't believe he's dead!" She mutters, and starts to breathe heavily. Fluttershy takes out her smartphone and dials 911. "911 emergencies!" The dispatcher says. "Yes-um, a masked man broke into the-" All of a sudden, her phone turns itself off. Much to Fluttershy's surprise. "What? But how? I-is it broken?" she says, confused and scared. "Drop your fucking weapon now!" A voice demands. "Alright alright, please don't hurt me!" A scared voice of a man is heard. "Cuffs! Now!" The voice demands. Fluttershy stands up and slowly peeks her head out of the manager's office to see what's happening. The masked man is pointing his pistol directly to a handcuffed bank guard's head. He looks so scared. "BZZT-Is everything okay over there?" The guard's pager expects a response, and the masked man takes the pager and answers it himself. "Nothing new, I'm just bored out of my mind," he replies, and much to Fluttershy's surprise, the security guard believes his answer. Fluttershy observes the action from the office, unsure of what to do. He's not an ordinary robber! It looks like he already did this before, that thought comes to her mind. "Alright Fluttershy, this is not a dream, this is for real, don't panic," she says to herrself in an attempt of keeping calmed and collected. "Guys, it's clear!" The masked man says, "Elf took care of the guy in the camera room I took care of the last security guard." "AAAAAAAAH!" A woman yells. In that moment, two heavily armed men enter the bank and begin yelling at the customers "SHUT UP AND GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!" Fluttershy hides again under the manager's desk and starts to cry, the bank's personnel raises their hands in the air, while the clients of the bank yell. A brave man decides to confront the robbers, but one of the masked men hits him in the stomach with the butt of his assault rifle. The clients quickly face the floor and the bank tellers do the same. "Moose! Get the thermal drill set up!" A masked man orders to the guy that handcuffed the guard and killed the manager. "The drill's already up! Hang on! I'll check out the manager's office, maybe there's another safe in there!" You say. So far the plan is coming along pretty good. The crowd is in control and the cameras are out. You run to the office and look at the little safe located on an archive, you take out a heavy drill and place it on the safe's door. -Whirrrrr... The drill is up and it'll open the safe in a couple of minutes. You hear a breath in the office, and you turn around, but you don't see anything. "Hey Steel! The thermal drill will open the vault in a few minutes, keep the civilians under control," you call to your crew. Whirr-chk-chk. You roll your eyes in frustration, the thermal drill has jammed. "Moose! The drill's stuck, you better restart it!" Steel says. "Sure, Elf! Give me a hand over there will ya?" You call your teammate and quickly exit the office. Fluttershy stands up and sighs. "I better get out of here," she silently says to herself as she peeks her head out of the office again to examine if any of your crew isn't paying attention. Since the exit door is not being watched Fluttershy assumes that if she runs fast enough it'll be like she had never been there. Fluttershy stretches her legs and plans to run as fast as she can. "Here it goes, 1...2...3!" A few steps in and she bump into a very hard object. "Where do you think you're going bitch?" The ex-military man asks. "I-I...please don't hurt me". Fluttershy pleads. "The fuck is going on Wheels?" Steel asks to the Enforcer. "I found this bitch trying escape," he says, "and I bet she was going to call the cops afterwards!" He says as he points his SCAR-17 to her face. "Is that so? Alright lady, don't worry, we won't hurt you," Steel says and looks at Wheels, "Wheels, put your gun down!" "O-oh good, will you let me go?" She nicely asks. "Are you fucking serious? GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!" Steel yells. Fluttershy obeys and quickly faces the floor. Steel crouches and searches for cable ties in his bag. "Fuck, I ran out of cable ties, do you have more cable ties Wheels?" Steel asks. "I already used mine," he replies, "I had to tie a bunch of morons that were walking next to the bank". "Dammit, Moose! Get your ass over here!" Steel calls, and you quickly walk to their position. "This pretty lady needs a nice pair of cable ties on her soft and delicate wrists," he mockingly says, "take care of it will ya?" "Alright" you say, while Steel heads to the manager's office to grab the money that was in the small safe you opened. "Fucking Steel..." you say to yourself, If it weren't for you these twats couldn't even crack a vault open. When you crouch to tie the beautiful woman you notice that something's not right. Then you take a better look at the crying hostage. It's Fluttershy! You attended to Canterlot's High School with her and were good friends back then. She used to be pretty shy with other people, but when you were around she was a bit more expressive and communicative. Of all the banks in the city, she decides to come to the one you and your crew are robbing. You don't want to mistreat her, so you'll have to be extra careful with her. "Alright lady, give me your hands!" You strongly says, but she looks so stressed, you better go easy on her because you don't want her to have a panic attack. "Ohmygoodness ohmygoodness ohmygoodness" she's freaking out. "Hey! HEY! Listen to me! You'll be fine, we're just here for the money and that's it!" You say in an attempt to comfort her up. Fluttershy stops crying and cleans her cheeks with a very wet handkerchief. "R-really?" She asks. "Yeah, it's okay lady, nothing will happen to you or to the rest of the clients, I can guarantee it, we're professionals," you say, but she stays silent. You take a pair of cable ties out of your bag and tie her wrists up. "Ouch..." she says. "Oh, sorry, too tight? I apologize, let me fix that," you say as you loosen up a bit the cable ties. "Much better, t-thank you" she shyly says in that cute voice you loved so much back then. You have to admit that after all these years, Fluttershy still is the cutest woman you've ever encountered. She's has everything, a cute voice, a lovely and shy personality, and of course, a hot body, that you wanted so much back in high school. "The thermal drill is stuck again guys, someone has to restart it!" You sigh and stand up, "excuse me for a moment Miss". As you're fixing the the termal drill you notice that Wheels is checking out Fluttershy while Steel keeps yelling at the rest of the hostages, Elf went to check on the cameras to see the exterior of the bank. If that fucking pervert gets near her, he'll be sorry. A few seconds the thermal drill starts working again and the monitor reads that it'll take thirty seconds more for the vault door to open, you stand up and head to Fluttershy's location. "Hey girl, are you okay?" You ask. "I, um, I've been better, thank you," she says. "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH THAT!" Steel yells at a bank accountant, that heroically ran to press the panic button. Wheels aims at him, but it's already late. The alarm goes off; and Wheels, enraged, shoots the man in the head; the wall behind him is splattered with blood and brain chunks. "AAAAHHHH!" Fluttershy and other clients that witnessed the cruel event panic. "And yeah, here comes the hard part...I thought you were professional Wheels! The police will come harder on you if you kill civilians!" You place a hand on Fluttershy's back and give her little pats to calm her down, like you used to do back in high school. And surprisingly, it still works. Fluttershy stopped crying and screaming. "For fucks' sake Wheels!" You angrily yell at your crazy teammate. "What?" Wheels shrugs and points at the dead accountant, "he blows up our cover, I blow up his brains!" You pinch the bridge of the mask's nose in frustration. "Police coming in on thirty seconds!" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_N_MQUAouY) You hear the vault's door finally open and the four of you run to it. "Alright guys! Let's take everything valuable before the cops arrive!" Five huge stacks of money catch your attention, so the four of you stuff the money in blue loot bags. "Don't forget the deposit boxes guys, there could be good stuff in there!" Steel takes out a saw from his bag and proceeds to open the deposit boxes. You grab as much money and jewels as you can, while Elf and Wheels exit the vault and fight the cops that have arrived to the bank. "THIS IS CANTERLOT'S POLICE DEPARTMENT, COME UP WITH YOUR HANDS-" The cop's head blows up before he finishes the sentence. The rest of the officers shoot back at your crew. "It seems that police decided to bring some special units...don't die!" "AAAAH," Fluttershy yells at the top of her lungs. "Grenade!" Steel yells before a loud explosion makes Fluttershy ears buzz for a few seconds. "This is madness," Fluttershy cries, "I want to go home..." "Oh shit, the cops are preparing an assault, Elf! On my six!" Steel yells and Elf follows him. You exit the vault and toss eight bags full of money and other valuables on the floor. "That's the last bag! We can go now!" You yell at your crew, before noticing that Fluttershy is having a panic attack, so you run to her location and crouch next to her. "Hey girl! Calm down! We're leaving in no time!" You try to calm her down. "I'm scared! I don't want to be a casualty!" She cries. You sigh and pick her up to carry her on your shoulder. "Eeeep! What are you doing?!" "Hold on to me lady! This is no place for you! You'll be fine, trust me!" you say. You look out of the corner of your eye and you catch a hostage trying to run. BANG! BANG! Wheels killed him! "Fucking psycho!" You say out loud, "don't worry girl, I won't let any of those savages get near you". "Uh-thanks? B-but why are you being so nice?" Fluttershy asks. "Let's just say that I'm the only one here who wants to leave as soon as possible, and if you help me out by being safe this whole thing will be easier and profitable for the both of us, understood?" "Y-yes!" she complies. "Alright then!" You drop her carefully near the bank's vault and give her some instructions, "Okay girl, stay here, don't panic, and don't try to run, if you do you'll end up like a swiss cheese." Fluttershy giggles a bit, and you don't know why. After all it's a scary comment, but she doesn't mind; you stand up and take out an assault rifle of your bag. "Here's your first assignment girl, calm the other hostages down, okay? I'll bring them over here," you say. "Y-yes Moose, anything you say!" What was that? Why is she being so collaborative? You think but shrug it off before you go help out your crew. Fluttershy is lying on the floor, thinking about what just happened. The guy that is risking his life to save hers is pretty thoughtful, Even if he's a criminal and a cop-killer, but, deep in her innocent soul she thinks of you as a nice guy. That you probably are lost, or that you had a lot of problems as a child. She thinks that she can convince you to give up on your criminal career; and she hopes that you like animals, after all she's in need of an assistant at the pet rescue centre. Lots of gunshots, glass breaking, empty shells falling to the floor and weapons being loaded are heard. "Cloaker son of a bitch!" that was Wheels. Fluttershy dislikes that ruthless mercenary, he thinks of him as a big dumb meanie, and hopes that the police will be able to arrest him. "OH SHIT! BULLDOZER!" Elf worriedly yells. Fluttershy wonders what he meant by that, in fact, she wonders if you or Elf are going to make it out alive, your plan was destroyed after the bank accountant decided to press the alarm. You weren't prepared for a fight. You just came for the money. You bring another hostage and order her to lay down next to Fluttershy is located. "On your belly! Hey girl, calm her down!" You point at the stressed hostage. "Y-yes Moose," she happily replies, while you apply some pressure to your arm, Fluttershy notices your wounds and sees blood that is running down your arm. "Oh, are you okay Moose? That doesn't look too well" Fluttershy worriedly asks. "Oh this?" You say as you point to your wound, "don't worry, it's just a scratch!" "It doesn't look like a scratch, in fact, you're bleeding pretty badly," she says. "It's okay girl, I've been worse...thanks for caring though," you say and go back to bring another hostage to safety. The other hostage can't believe what she's hearing and yells at Fluttershy, "Are you out of your mind!? Why are you trying to help that criminal?" She angrily asks. "H-he isn't so bad after all. He's risking his life only to bring us to safety. His accomplices are the bad ones here," Fluttershy calmly replies. "You're nuts!" She yells. "Calm down, if we collaborate they'll leave us alone," Fluttershy responds. You come back with a scared man and order him to get on the floor, Fluttershy notices that the man looks so nervous, and decides to calm him down. "Hey, could you, um, calm down, if you don't mind?" Fluttershy shyly asks. "Calm down? CALM DOWN?" He rudely responds, "how do you expect me to be calmed after they killed two hostages already!?" "Well, they are just here for the money, and if you don't want to make Wheels furious you should stay quiet," Fluttershy proposes. "How do you know their names? And why are you helping them out!? Who knows what they might want to do, don't you have children waiting for you at home?" The man furiously says. "No I don't" Fluttershy replies. "What about your husband?" he asks. "I'm not married..." she replies. "Oh, well, what about your parents?" "They live in another city-" Fluttershy says, but she's getting a bit upset at the man's invasive questions. "Well, I'm sorry if you don't have anyone that gives a fuck about you! But I do! And I want to see them again!" He rudely replies. Fluttershy gasps at the man's commentary and stands up. "Well then, you better shut up and do what the robbers say! I-if that's okay with you". Fluttershy gets on the ground again and thinks what she should do after this whole thing ends, she decides that she'll talk to Rarity's in the first place. She's her best friend after all, and she'll surely give her some advice about these weird attitudes and thoughts she's having. You bring another hostage, and another one, and many other more. Fluttershy is still worried about you, you respond that you're okay, but those bullet holes on your arms and back say otherwise. "Are you sure you're okay Moose?" she asks, concerned about your health. "The cops are using 9mm, I'm fine girl!" you say. "Fluttershy-" she mutters. "Excuse me?" "M-my name is Fluttershy," she confidently says. "Fluttershy, that's a beautiful name, and it fits perfectly to pretty girl like you". The hostages pull out their best "Seriously?" face. Damn, that was kind of cheesy, you don't know why you said that. If the hostages could see your face right now they'd probably confuse you for a tomato. Fluttershy, on the other hand, looks away, but in her face a smile and a blush are printed on her face. Steel approaches to you and to the hostages and strongly shouts at them. "Well, that was the last one of them! We're leaving!" he says as he picks up a loot bag. You and the others grab a bag of money each and run outside to the escape vehicle, then you return for the remaining bags. "I'll catch you guys later, I gotta take care of something first!" You say. "Okay, but hurry up Moose!" Steel says and and get the loot bags to the van. You take out a knife and cut the cable tie off Fluttershy's hands. "Huh?" "You're free to go girl," you say and to the rest of the hostages you yell "don't worry y'all, the police will let you go when they arrive!" You grab Fluttershy's hand and take her to the back door. "Thanks for everything girl, you did a good job at keeping the hostages quiet, no effort goes without a reward, what were you doing here anyways?" "I, um, I came here to ask for a loan". She shyly says. "A loan? What for?" "Well, I'm the director of the city's pet center, and it doesn't get as much funding as before," she says while you carefully listen to her, "and the critters I have to look after are always hungry or ill," she lets out a sniffle, "but the bank manager said no and he yelled at me!" You look outside and see that your crew are already waiting for you in the van. "I see...well, as I said before, you've been of great help Fluttershy. Here, take it as a token of my appreciation". You say as you take out a small gold bar out of your loot bag, "I found it in one of the deposit boxes, it's yours now!" "M-mine? B-but I can't accept it!" Well, if she's going to be like that, you're going to do something that you wanted to do back in high school. You pull her shoulderless sweater towards you and look at her lovely breasts, covered by a small pink bra. "W-what are you doing!?" Fluttershy freaks out. Then you slip the gold bar between her breasts. "It's for you and your critters, and I won't take a 'no' for an answer," you strongly say. Fluttershy doesn't complain, and accepts the gift. "Umm...It's cold" Fluttershy expresses. You let out a chuckle and say your goodbyes to Fluttershy as you're about to leave. "W-wait Moose!" She pulls you by your shoulder and when she faces you she gives you a quick peck on your mask. "...Thank you." You can't waste this huge opportunity, so you cover her eyes with your hands and take off your mask. "What the fuck are you doing Moose!?" Your teammates call, "come on! We have to go!" You place your lips on Fluttershy's. "-Mmmh?!..." Fluttershy fights back at first, but later she gives in and kisses you back. This sensation is...your mind can't properly process what's going on at the moment. But it just feels pretty good, a few seconds later you release her lips and quickly put your mask on. "W-wow..." Fluttershy says, while you run back to the escape van. Fluttershy touches your lips in disbelief and lets out a sigh; while you enter the van and close the doors the driver quickly turns the engine on and drives off before more cops arrive. When you leave the area, special vehicles filled with SWAT elements arrive to the bank, only to find dead bodies, tied-up hostages and no money. SUCCESS! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSCC2stxVyc) Back at the safehouse you and the guys are listening to the radio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_N15egKj6c) while drinking a few shots of whiskey, "Fuck yeah! We did it again!" Steel says. "Canterlot's cops are getting thougher each day, isn't that right Moose?" Elf asks. You nod. "Shit, my fucking arm hurts". "Chill you pansy, the doc will arrive in a few minutes to check on us". Wheels says. "Who're you calling pansy? Coming from the guy that needs to wear heavy armor?" Your angrily reply. Wheels is getting annoyed. "Always quick to pick a fight eh Moose?" Elf intervenes and tells you both to shut up. These guys are getting on your nerves each day that passes, you're glad you are leaving this life of crime for good, maybe you'll go pay Fluttershy a visit to that pet center she loves so much; you chuckle at the memory of you placing that gold bar between her lovely breasts. And the best part is that she didn't protest. Hell, she was probably digging it. The boss and the doctor arrive to the safehouse. "You guys did it again!" He says. "Fuck yeah we did! We got like six million dollars out of that bank". Steel says. "Then it's a million for each one of us! Good work guys". Yup, your debts are paid now, and you have nine hunderd thousand dollars to spend and three million dollars in your offshore account. That money will come in handy, you can buy a car and a house before going job-hunting again. "Alright then gentlemen, who should I attend first?" The doctor asks. "Moose goes first," Wheels says, "you don't want him to soil his pants from all the pain you know?" "Fuck you Wheels," you stand up and head to the next room. The doctor will begin to check you in a few moments, all those bullets need to leave your body, the night falls and your body feels like shit; the doctor is pretty good at this. It's a shame that he doesn't have appropiate surgical tools, it's always getting drunk up and hoping you don't die. The boss enters your room. "So, Moose, you said somethin' about leaving?" Here it goes... "Actually boss, yeah I do...That heist we barely pulled off made me think, that I don't want to do this anymore..." you say after letting out a sigh. "Why's that?" The boss asks. "I can finally pay all those debts I had, this whole thing...it was my only hope. If I didn't make money fast, I'd get killed by those loan sharks. I don't pull heists for the action, the four of us are set for life, but I want to have a normal life again," you elaborate. "Look Moose, you can't have a normal life again, after all you've proven to be a natural at this! You've done multiple jobs for your contractors, picked many locks, drilled dozens of safes, murdered hundreds of crooked cops and lowlife scum, do you actually think you can be a normal man again?" He mockingly asks, "Get a job, a cheap car, get married, have a family, and all that sort of bullcrap? You've got to be kidding me!" You stand up and place a gun on the boss' forehead. "If I say that I want out, I WANT OUT!" You yell. "You don't know who're you messing with..." the boss says annoyed. "It'll be my pleasure to pull the trigger, after all, dead men don't talk," you say. The boss stays silent a few seconds. "It's about that Fluttershy girl, isn't that right?" He archs an eyebrow. "Wha-what are you talking about?!" "The hostage, what's with you and her? Do you know her?" "It's none of your damn business!" You yell. "I see...well, you know that I can find her immediately, right? Just making a few calls and moving shit around," he calmly says. "So what? You know how I treat hostages, if it wasn't for me Wheels could've transformed those heists into massacres". "Oh, by the way, Wheels?" The boss calls him. You can feel the barrel of a firearm touching the back of your head". "What's wrong boss? Is Moose giving you any trouble?" Wheels says. "You can say that he is, but we've talked enough to convince Moose here to help us with the job we have to make tomorrow for the Serbian, isn't that right Moose?" "..." 8:00 P.M. Back in Fluttershy's apartment. She's wearing her favorite pajamas while she watches television and pets her pet bunny Angel. For her, today was so exciting. The whole situation was surreal; cops, special units, snipers, no one could catch Moose and his crew. Suddenly her smartphone rings and she answers it. "Hello?" "Hello darling! I was just wondering if the bank gave you that loan you needed so much." "Actually, no, I did not get it, I spoke with the manager and he refused to lend me a dime," you reply. "Did you try seducing him? Oh I just knew I had to accompany you so we could ask for the loan". "Don't worry Rarity, I got something better out of the bank!" Fluttershy excitedly says. "Oh? You didn't give the manager a handjob did you?" Her reply took Fluttershy by surprise. "What!? NO! Gross! Of course not! look, could you tell the girls to watch the news tonight at 11? Something huge happened this morning, if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be around anymore" "What? Darling, I don't understand, what happened? What do you mean by him? Could you be more clear?" Rarity says, confused. Fluttershy lets out a giggle. "Just keep an eye out for the news okay? By the way Rarity..." "Yes darling?" "You're not busy tomorrow are you? Um- because if you are I-" "No darling," Rarity interrupts Fluttershy, "I'll be free tomorrow, I just finished the last dress of my new line! Why do you ask?" "I've got something in my mind and you might be able to give me some advice, so um- why don't we go to the mall's beauty parlor? Like we used to do back in high school?" Fluttershy proposes. "Sure darling, I'd like to take a break after staying awake so many nights, I can't barely recognize myself after- WAHAHA!" She loudly yells. "Wh-what's wrong Rarity?" Fluttershy worriedly asks. "I just saw myself in the mirror...I really, REALLY need some TLC". The girls let out an innocent laugh. "Oh Rarity, I'll see you tomorrow at noon, ok?" "Sure dear." "Don't forget to watch tonight's news!" Fluttershy reminds her friend. "Fine, fine". Fluttershy giggles and hangs up, and lastly, she takes the gold bar out of her cleavage and looks at it. "Ahhh Moose; I hope I get to see you again..."
