Part 1
„But Moooom, this is boring“ the 10-year old boy looked at his mother and rolled his eyes. „Dads business isn’t nearly as cool as that new movie, why did we have to go here? This suit is itchy“ He look down at himself, ignoring the white button-up shirt with the in his opinion extremely ugly dark blue tie and his ironed khakis. His gaze stopped at his black polished shoes. „And these shoes are too tight, my feet hurt!“ His mother, 35-year old Gina Waterstone, was visibly annoyed. She was dressed in a black skirt and a white button-up blouse, a dark blazer along with dark heels completing her outfit. „Austin, don‘t whine so much, okay? Daddy said he needs us to grab something from the safe. I can’t let you be alone during that.“ She looked at him while hastily searching through her purse. „But at least the new movie in the cinema…?“ Austin began again. „Austin, this is enough. This discussion is over!“ Austin, both saddened and annoyed, slowly slid down the seat, sulking as he did so. Well what a great day. Her idiotic husband had forgotten something important in his personal safe at the bank and now he needed his family to get it. Because the great businessman himself of course didn’t have time, like always. He never had time for anything besides jetting around the world and visiting some friends who were in her opinion just as idiotic as Tyson himself.
When the taxi stopped, both her and Austin got out and walked towards the big white building, that was built to look as if it came from the Victorian era, even though it wasn’t even 20 years old. She quickly walked towards the building, pulling her son with her and clacking loudly with her heels on the cobblestones. Luckily, there wasn‘t too much going on right now. One of the bank counters was even free. So instantly walked towards it.
„I‘d like to go the main safe, my husband wants me to take something from there!“ The young woman at the counter looked at her with a questioning look. „Excuse me… who are you? If you don’t tell me your name I can’t help you.“ Gina shook her head. A new worker, why did she have to talk to a new worker in such a situation? „Gina Waterstone! I don’t think I have to tell you who my husband is?“ as she said that, the face of the woman went as pale as chalk. With stammered words, she took a key, got up and turn around with a mumbled „Please follow me“, she walked towards an iron door.
Just as she was opening that door, both women heard a voice behind them. „You two stay here or the kid will have to pay!“ Both instantly raised their hands and turned around to see a man in black biker clothing and with a red stocking pulled over his head facing them. With his left hand, he held a tight grip on Austin while his right hands was holding a gun that was currently pointed right at the young boy‘s head.
The fact that Jacob was actually so nervous while doing this that he felt like he had to throw up went unnoticed. Of course he knew they needed to do this, but still, doing it was something entirely different than planning to do it. He looked around. Ewan, dressed in the same black biker clothes, only with a blue stocking had apparently already collected all phones while Paul, now wearing the same stocking as his friends, only in green, was holding the other visitors of the bank hostage. Jacob turned his head back to the two women and just now realized who he was looking at. This was Gina Waterstone, Tyson‘s wife! And the kid he had taken as a hostage must have been their son Austin. He almost felt sorry for doing this. Gina was known to be entirely different than her husband Tyson. She was what you would probably call a philanthropist and donated most of her earnings as Tyson‘s personal secretary to charity. If this was really her personality, or if Tyson just told her to do it to clean the family name, wasn’t clear. However Jacob felt as if Gina actually was a much better person that Tyson would ever be.
„What are you doing here lady?“ both women were at first unsure who he was talking to, but he just pointed at Gina. „Oh, I was just… coincidentally here.“ Right, this was all a big coincidence. Jacob‘s look must have told her exactly how realistic he thought that was, because suddenly, she started talking. „Fine, that’s not true… I was about to get something for my husband.“ So she was sent by Tyson… that could only mean one thing: whatever she had to get, it was important! He looked over to his two partners in crime. They had already tied up all of the staff and visitors with zip cuffs as well as duct taped their mouths. Time was running out. They had to act quickly. Even though they had gathered all phones, it wouldn’t take that long until the police would be notified. It was always like that.
