A Wish From The Devil

CHAPTER 4:The man with the Gun (2)

"Here...I picked one of them," Billy said placing the woman in front of Tom, a little surprised that she didn't seem to struggle or weep which was the behaviour he had been expecting from here,

All of them were even more surprised when the saw the woman in front of them suddenly smile at Tom before she began to speak, since only her hands were tied,

"I'll do anything you ask me to do," She said seductively attempting to hold Tom's gaze which trying to use her tied hands to touch her chest in a seductive manner,

"Trust me...If boring could kill then it's this place. And even though you'll look like bad guys, I also feel like deep down you'll good guys," said the woman Billy had brought, as all three of them watched her speak like a crazy woman without attempting to stop her,

"TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND I PROMISE TO GIVE IT TO YOU," she said as she continued staring deeply into Tom's eyes as Billy tried his best to hold in a chuckle, while Ray looked like a puffed up ball, as he was about to burst into laughter at any second,

Tom also found the situation to be hilarious and he was a little turned on by the bold and tall woman with a slim waist standing in front of him in spite of himself, yet remembering the main reason why she was standing in front of him in the first place brought him back from La La land,

"Where is the security guard for the bank? We didn't see one when we walked in," Tom asked a little more politely since he had imagined that he would have had to threaten her with his gun which he still held in his hand,

"Oh, of course you didn't notice him…," Sarah began as the thought of lying to the man in front of her whom she felt ultimately attracted to, didn't even occur to her, meanwhile the moment she spoke the three men surrounding her immediately realized that they had f****d up,

"That's because he doesn't wear a security uniform and none of the employees even felt the need to tell you since you'll are meant to be the bad guys and I don't know if I should," she then said before covering her mouth like there was something important that she wasn't supposed to say,

Tom was at the edge of bursting and yelling in impatience when he took a quick breath before going back to talking in the way he assumed a gentleman would,

"You can tell me. What aren't we supposed to know," he asked in a pleading tone that neither Billy nor Ray were used to as they too felt the urge to push her to speak faster as the woman seemed to be talking in an agonizingly slow pace,

"Well...you know the last member of your gang that walked in with you?" She asked looking over at her, as she silently wondered who he was since he was wearing a different set of colourful clothes and didn't seem to be part of the gang,

"Yes...Yes...we know him. What about him?" Asked Billy this time around beating Tom to it, noticing the way Tom clenched and unclemched his fingers knowing fully well that he might burst and shout at the woman and that would only delay them from getting the answers they needed quickly,

"Well...do you know the male employee that followed you guys to the safe whom you asked for along with the manager when the deputy manager fainted?" She asked again slowly almost as if she was trying to make a point,

"Yes we know him. He's the one below the office of the deputy manager. What about him?" Billy asked wondering where the woman was going but at that point Tom already had an ugly expression on his face as he seemed to have guessed where the woman was going, while Ray just had this faraway look in his eyes, with his back against the way as he started at the roof with a sigh,

"Well…," she sighed,

"His job isn't below that of the deputy manager because he's actually the security guard," instantly covering up her face the second she finished talking, almost as if by hiding her face she wouldn't feel ashamed for what she just did,

With his mouth wide open and a shocked look on his face, Billy spoke,

"That's bad," he said looking from Tom to Ray only to discover that none of them seemed fully surprised by the new information that the woman had just given them,

"Let's go, we need to get to the safe," Tom said pulling the woman employee, who was also their informant along with him, while wondering if Jack would be able to handle the security guard all on his own,

All three of them then began walking out of the corner about to turn and enter the lobby when Tom turned around, slapping his palm against Ray's chest, stopping him from taking any more steps,

" You get to wait here," he commanded in the serious tone he only used when he was pissed and in Boss mode,

"Sure," Ray replied stepping back into the hidden corner where he was away from the lobby where the employees would have been able to see him,

" You're the boss," he whispered watching both of them walk away as fast as they could past the corner where he was and into the lobby,

Tired, he decided to sit down and seeing no seat around, he dropped down to the floor. However as his butt was about to settle comfortably on the ground, a gunshot rang in the air, loud enough to cause Ray to jerk and jump back on his feet,

The gunshot sound scared him but what terrified him was hearing two more ring in quick succession,

" Bang, bang," loud enough for not only everyone in the small bank to hear but he was sure that surrounding shops and businesses would have heard it also,

"Well...shit is definitely going down," muttered Ray to himself, moving closer to the corner of the wall taking a quick peek at the lobby hoping to be able to figure out what was going on,

However, all he saw was tired and tied down employees, shaking in fear as some of them huddled close to each other while others stood up on their feet struggling with their limbs bound together to move closer to the source of the gunshot wound,

"I almost feel like I should have waited a few more minutes before entering," Ray grumbled to himself, before going back to the corner he had been, before taking a seat on the floor.
