All Strings Attached

Chapter 14

As soon as the door opened, few frightened customers came out. Police got alert but a ruckus was created at the site. Hostages coming out were mixed together with men going in to save the child and police was standing there helplessly, aimlessly pointing gun at people who all looked like victims.

Bright took the opportunity he created and walked passed among the crowd inside the jewellery shop. On his way, he lowered his head and whispered to one the man coming out of the shop who nodded his head and the doors were again closed as soon as Bright entered.

He immediately looked for Gun who was holding a riffle, shouting at the hostages to lay on floor with their hands behind their heads.

"Gun!" Bright hastily approached him. He looked at Bright and held his shoulder, his voice angry "How did that happen?"

"I don't know" Bright muttered and looked at people on floor "but I'll get us out of here"

He said and walked around people. He suddenly bowed down and pulled a man up by his collar, pushing him against the counter.

"Please leave me ! Take all my gold and spare my life!" He started to cry and Bright pushed him again on the counter and aimed his gun at old man's face

"You'll get us out of here" Bright spat out and the man trembled.

"How can I? I am merely a -" He replied but was cut short by Bright who hit his face by his pistol, making his face turn to the other side.

Bright gave him a sinister smile and tilted his chin "A famous businessman and merchant of gold doesn't have this much influence on police?" Bright asked and put the mouth of his gun to the poor man' chin "Without the power, you're just a pile of flesh"

He loaded his gun and fired at the glass cabinet behind him , making everyone in the store cry.

"Please let me go" Owner by now was bawling "I'll do whatever you'll ask me to do"

"We'll open the gate and my gun will stay at the back of your head" Bright replied calmly. "You'll ask the police not to take action while me and my friends take out your pretty little money alright?"

He nodded immediately, frightened. Bright and Gun exchanged glances and they asked Mike to open the front door. The door was slowly opened, making police alert again.

They finally released the owner who cried loudly not to shoot. Bright and his fellows used hostages as shield, coming out hiding their faces and police couldn't do much rather than biting their tongue in frustration.

Type who was standing there, aiming his gun had his eyes on the people holding guns the whole time.

As soon as the criminals decided to part their ways sneakily, a series of shooting started from the opposite side. Bright and the other guys did the counter attack and soon the place was filled with shooting sounds and crying voices. People ran in all directions to save themselves.

Unfortunately for police, they can't shoot blindly in the crowded area and saw criminals driving away in car.

Without waiting for the order from the head, Type sat in his car and chased after them but soon after he lost sight of them.

"Damn it!" He gritted his teeth as he hit his fist on steering wheel. He was so close today.

They used three cars to split to confuse police and ended up making out safe and sound. Mike did his work professionally and damaged any piece of recording from the security cameras. They all had gloves and special wrapped shoes so basically there was not a single trail they left behind which could be used by police to find them.
