Blood Money

Several minutes later after the vault has been opened, the silent alarm was triggered. The pair now have 5 minutes to clean out the vault before police arrive at the bank. Caleb is at the front entrance keeping an eye of the hostages and the police while Anthony was filling up the duffel bags with unmarked cash. "We don't have much time here, Fisher! Finish up so we can get out of here!" shouted Caleb at his partner in crime. Not long after, Anthony comes out with two duffel bags filled with totaling up to a 100 grand worth of cash. One of the carried one duffel bag and prepare to escape to the nearby basement parking lot on foot. They escape through the back of the bank and quickly took off their masks and changed their attire, blending in with the crowd the moment they step back into the streets of Los Angeles. "Good work, Fisher. Now we can finally get our fresh start huh?" "Definitely, what are you gonna do with your half?" "I can finally pay for that operation for my wife's cancer treatment. She has been stuck in that goddamned ward for months. Now I can i'll be able to see her healthy again. You?" "I have a daughter. Maybe now I can afford proper education for her." "Good luck to that" They continued on foot for several blocks until the reach the basement car park. But before they could go underground, a police cruiser spotted them and made chase. the two abandon their original escape plan and ran back into the alleyways. the police car tailed them through. and at the end of the narrow alley another cruiser was blocking their exit. Desperately they try to find and alternate route and they did. "Right here!" Anthony points to a flight of stairs that serve as a fire exit for an apartment. Using the fire exit stairs, they climb the side of the apartment and went into the apartment itself. After they that dashed down the stairs to ground floor again and got out of the front exit. Anthony was able to dash through the dense traffic with ease, but as soon as Caleb got out of the building, the traffic starts to pick up speed. Caleb stops at his tracks. Not long after police cruisers corner Caleb and apprehend him. "s**t!" He exclaimed. He wants to help his partner in crime out of the situation but police soon spotted him and gave him chase. Leaving him with no choice but to abandon Caleb and make his escape. Caleb looked in disappointment as his partner leave him to be arrested. Although he understood that he had no choice, he was nonetheless let down by Anthony's decision to leave him behind. Caleb is later arrested. Anthony was able to escape with the fifty grand by hitchiking a cargo train. "I'm sorry, Caleb. One of us has to get out of here." he spoke to himself. After quite a distance travelling on the train, he got off at a bay area where another contact was waiting for him so he could launder the dirty money. It was already dusk by the time he arrived. "I was told that there would be two of you?" Damian said with a puzzled tone. "Cops got Caleb. Nothing I could do for him" "I see. It was an either-you-or-him situation. Am i right?" Caleb only subtly nodded back. "Well thats the price if you gotta be willing to pay if you are doing this sort of work." "This will be the one and only time I'll be doing this" "Well, don't think just because you got away with fifty G's means that you are a free man. When you walk away from this with that money. You will be basically living a lie for the rest of your life." "I can live with that." "Yeah sure you can." Anthony hands over the duffel bag to Damian and he goes back into his warehouse. Leaving Anthony for his walk of shame back to the city area to lay low.
