A spark
Chapter one miscalculation
Previous ChapterAfter a long train ride I can't help but feel excited. With another bump of the train my head meets the metal once again. Getting into the luggage cart seemed like a good idea at the time. Can't have any record of me being there after all. To think I would have so much power. Feeling my left pocket the smoke bombs were still there.
With a sudden stop, I see stars for a minute. Once I recover I quickly go to the car with the crowd to blend in. With that mess over with I head to the area the bank should be around. But with the people moving like streams it was harder then anticipated.
Another hour wasted, but that doesn't matter. Taking a deep breath I make my way in. Security was pretty tight considering what "security" passes for now a days. I've read that there used to be guards along with the safe! Can you believe that!?
". . . Are you serious?
Yes?
Is there any other security?
More!?
" I'm starting to regret this."
WHAT?! WHY?!?
" Forget it. Let's get to the killing. Just know you dampened the mood."
Ok?
Getting in the line I wait for my opportunity. Can't seem too suspicious yet. Another hour later and I'm next so I pull the pins. This will be so much fun!
Ok then tell me void. What can I do!
I don't know
. . . What?
You heard me
BUT YOU SAID TO DO THAT THING!
Lucky guess
BUT YOU SAID I COULD DO STRONG STUFF!!
Optimism?
YOU COULD HAVE SAID THAT BEFORE I PULLED THE PINS YOU BASTARD!!
Too late now
I KNOW THAT!
OK OK OK I CAN SALVAGE THIS. JUST THINK!
Good luck
Deep breaths. Just think your way out of this. Ok so there's about two point five seconds before the smoke bombs go off. During that commotion I have to secure my disguise before anyone can catch a glance. But if someone does get a good look not even my magic would be of much use so I'll have to get rid of the witnesses. Since I used all of my smoke bombs there's no way to hide. My ring is apparently useless at the moment. In my right pocket there's a two inch knife and in my left pocket there's a granola bar. Along with my backpack for carrying the loot. There seems to be four bank tellers, twelve customers, and two children. The children are in line four which means I can't use them as leverage. There are one Pegasus, five unicorns, and six earth ponies. The four bank tellers are unicorns. With the Pegasus here the smoke won't last longer than a few minutes. To get to the money I have to get behind the desk and bust down/unlock the door and figure out what the combination to the safe is.
With all of the problems spotted I need to find a way around them. Ready . . . Set . . . GO! With that the smoke bombs go off. I drop all but one. With everyone blinded I jump the counter and tackle the bank teller. Hearing the panic starting to rise I muffle his screams and drag him into the back.
Closing and locking the door behind us I pull out my knife and try to subdue him but it is too late. The stallion got his wits back and is backing away from me. When his horn lit I panicked and threw what was in my hand. Feeling myself rise and then fall to the ground I knew which side of the blade had hit. Not looking at what I'd done I check out the many safes. But they all were locked and needed keys to open them. But what had my attention was the medium sized safe near the back.
Looking around the room I see a key in the desk that might help me but looking at the bank teller's body I spot a few more. Realizing there must be guards heading my way I had to get what I came for. Taking the keys I drag the body near the safe and test the keys. None of the teller's keys worked but the desk key did. When opened there was only a few bags of bits which is ok I guess. Once everything was in my bag I smile at my first heist.
Hey genius what's the plan on leaving?
". . ."
. . .
Ok so there's one smoke bomb in here completely blanketing the room so vision should be impaired. There's a suspicious desk in the middle of the room so they'll probably suspect that I'm there. If they see the body they'll call back up and if I try to leave it would cause a commotion. So while they are distracted with a suspicious desk I have to get out while bringing no attention to myself.
Realizing what I have to do I try to undress him. Once he's naked I shove the body into the safe and lock it. Getting undressed I put my clothes into my bag. But the tricky part was squeezing myself into clothes that are a few sizes too small. Under close examination it would be obvious that I didn't work here but it could pass from a quick glance. With all that done I sit next to the door and wait for the Calvary to arrive.
While we wait let's have a chat.
Really? . . . Now?
Yes now! What the fuck was that!?!
Please be more specific
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!
They're here
FINE! BUT YOUR NOT OFF THE HOOK!
Getting ready I back away from the door.
. . .
. . .
. . .
Are you sure they're coming?
BAM
With that a few figures run into the room and spread out. As expected they were all focused on the desk so I dip. Walking away casually plus the smoke seem to do the trick. Making my way outside I speed walk to the alley. Once I make my way down the alley I get changed and throw the clothes into the dumpster. This trip may have had some hiccups but in the end I think I did well.
