I was shocked and surprise but then, I had already promised, I had already taken the oath, it was then that i realized that there was no way out and that I was now in it. Vincent had orchestrated this very complex plan that took into consideration almost all aspects of the life of the school.  This master plan to rub the bursars office came to his mind when he went to pay in his school fees, accompanied by his mother. He then used the opportunity to study the movements of the school bursar and he knew exactly what to do. The bursar first collected the money then using a counterfeit detector that emitted a blue light, flipped through each bill. Then he rolled his chair backwards and bent towards the save and punch in a code, a code which Vincent memorized and that was the key to the entire operation. From Vincent's point of view, The school could not have security cameras as it was found deep in Africa a world region one hundred years behind civilization.   Now, Vincent said first we will go through all the activities of the school and master the program of everybody so as to execute this very plan with optimum accuracy he added. The guys seemed very anxious and happy because this was a great deal with a great promise too. The Academic block was found directly opposite the main entrance of the school and in its center on the first floor was written at the top of the doubled door Administration. Once you walk in you find the Four doors, labelled Principal, Vice Principal, Bursar, Dean. There was another door leading to a corridor that led to the staff room. So the first challenge was to find out the perfect day by finding out all those who go to the Academic block specially those related to that of the bursars office.  The Principal, a regular reverend with very regular activities which made him extremely predictable. He goes to the office everyday as from 8:00 am and closes latest 3:00 pm except for the case of an emergency meeting. He has this bad habit of procrastinating work not done to the next day or special request of students to other days.  The vice principal on the other hand tried to stick to what he is supposed to do and really avoided minding other peoples businesses. So he arrives a little bit earlier that the school principal and opens the main entrance of the administration section of the academic block. He is always there at around 7:30am, and closes at about 3:30 pm when the principal has left. The Bursar concentrated on the financial section and just ensured to do all the financial documentations and presents a balanced account to the principal of the transactions before the end of each day. to add, the dean acted like the general administrator, he did the work of the disciplinary master, suddenly creates rules and also focused on ensuring that all teachers did their jobs. He like the others, closed before 3:00 pm though he sometimes leaves before. This therefore means by 3:30pm of each working day, that is Mondays to Fridays, the offices of the school administrators closes. But the door of the corridor leading to the staff room posed a great challenge as teachers sometimes teach till about 7:00 pm especially the classes preparing for national competitions. This rolled out all working days as it would be too much of a risk to take. We were left with only the weekends, Saturday and Sunday, given the current situation of the school, some teachers organized catchup classes during these days so it was not that strange to find students around campus on such days and the teachers did not really have access to the staff room too. But Saturday presented a greater challenge as many teachers prefer it to Sundays which usually resulted to a very busy atmosphere around the target region. The obvious choice was Sunday, it presented the perfect atmosphere, a few students who are usually in class, the day watch who goes to worship his God in a church and after that attends neighborhood meetings.  The team was made of Five members they all knew the goal but no one knew the role of each person. But to make the work easy, each team member has to master all the roles but not one knew exactly who will take which. That was left for Vincent to judge. Each role was labelled with a name of a capital of a city and a role assigned to it, we had the following; Cairo the locksmith, Abudja the observer and distraction creator, Yaoundé the transporter and then we had Khalion who had the most important role and his could not be shielded and finally, Vincent the brain of the operation.  The locks used in school were inexpensive lock hardware and could easily be compromised by intruders. Vincent capitalized on this fact as all that was needed was a screw driver and slinky spring. He stated by illustrating all the weakness the locks had and finished by showing how the locks could be open. Each one of them did that mastered how easily compromise the locks used in the administrative block without actually causing destruction or alarm. They could each carry out this activity within one hundred and twenty seconds.  Next, the observer  had as responsibility to create an unrelated distraction in case of an abnormality in the plan, giving enough time for the others to escape. So a series of possible distraction techniques were brought up so as to protect the master plan, the first one insulting and provoking a well known reactive bully who believes he is god in the environment and no one should talk to him. This bully will definitely try to start a fight thereby drawing everyone's attention. The next strategy was to run in a loud voice towards the fence and scale, an obvious crime punishable with a few days of punishment clearing the school farm. Another interesting strategy was fall into an epileptic shock while acting as though you have been possessed with an evil spirit. Students would definitely be amazed as they are looking for a topic to always rattle about. Now, the Perpetrator which Vincent constantly  indicated as the most important part and he attributed this part to his newest recruit Khalion. His duty is simple but required good acting skills and a lot of courage, qualities which khalion has as he was the head of the drama club and is well known for his differentiable skills on the stage. He was to walk into the office, punch the security code and extract all the money he could find and place in his bag pack, then he will move out of the office and go straight to the school toilet and place the extracted cash inside a black waterproof material earlier placed by Vincent and then he will retire home. Yaoundé, would be responsible for collecting the package to the meeting house where it would be shared by Vincent amongst everyone.  The plan was well understood and Vincent assigned the roles to those he believed very competent. It was a blast, as Cairo unlocked the locks immediately the day watch left for Sunday worship. Abudja placed himself just in between the space separating the academic block from the administrative block and was ready with a series of distraction techniques flowing in his mind just waiting to blow up. Sadly his role did not have any use. An hour later, Khalion courageously moved towards the compromised door praying it should open and behold the door opened. Filled with much enthusiasm, Khalion moved straight to the bursars door and opened it then moved to the save and typed the code given to him by vincent. The save opened and he emptied it. He then proceeded to the school toilet and left it in the hidden waterproof material . Immediately he retired home to avoid any suspicions. During this period Yaounde was in class and very active asking and answering questions so that his mated would know he was in class for sure. He then took permission to visit the school toilet where he directly transported the package to its destination and he returned to class like nothing happened. The next day as usual the Bursar arrived school the first and was shocked with the discovery. He directly contacted the school principal, vice principal and dean of studies, who immediately hurried to school. They were shocked and short of words as they had not even imagine the possibility of such an unbelievable crime.
