Ten Hours

Katherine Blumem

 

It was around ten o'clock on a strange Monday morning when the bus stopped at a stop a block from Universal Bank. I don't know why, but I swear, I woke up with a strange feeling. Very strange. As if something was going to happen. I don't know.


It must be my impression, for sure.


I walked to the bank and went through the revolving door, there were few people at the cashiers, but enough that I had to wait my turn.


I kept looking towards the bank where there were more people.
Where the doors were made of glass and I only went in there, when its balance was much bigger than the municipal park of Rio de Janeiro.


I took advantage of my standing and analyzed myself in the reflection of the mirror.
He was wearing jeans that Zoraida claimed were too tight on my thigh, a red sleeved shirt, and black flat-heeled boots. I didn't put too much makeup on my face, just enough to keep my face clean and relaxed.


I sighed, seeing that it would take a little longer, when the guy in front of me called whoever, to find out what the password was for the card.

Klaus Uckermann

 

I rolled my eyes listening to my manager's flattery. Bag! I was tired of hearing that "you're the boss", "what can I help Mr. uckermann", "in which I owe the honor of your visit", "in which I can serve you", "I can give a kidney if the sir want". Bag! Bunch of idiots and self-serving shit.


Klaus - I would like to know, who here authorized the purchase of a building in my name.
Only this.


Messiah - So, Mr.
Uckermann, it will be a rather difficult task. he said awkwardly looking at me.


Klaus - And why?


Messias - When the purchase is authorized and the capital leaves, the receipts go to a very restricted area.
In which I don't work, only my superior.


I leaned across the table.


Klaus - Where is your superior?


Messiah - On vacation.
he smiled nervously.


I snorted.
Excellent.


In the room he was in, it belonged to the manager himself, and it was just the two of us.
The bank was full when I walked in, and they've been dragging me around for two hours just to say that damn answer.


Damn it!


My cell phone beeped, notifying me that a message had arrived.
I took it out of my pocket, and saw that it was Vivian's. She sent the address of the restaurant that we would have lunch in a little while.


I got up and at the same time Messiah too.
I wanted to roll my eyes again, but I managed to control myself.


Klaus - Thank you for nothing.
I spoke sincerely before leaving the room.


Messiah - Wait sir Uckermann.
..


Started following me.
I left his room and was already in the cashier area when he finally stood in front of me panting.


That's what give the person not to do any physical activity.


Messiah - Wait, we offer a line...


I didn't hear anything else, just the sounds of guns being readied and ten or more hooded men entering the bank and killing the security guards.
It took a few seconds to understand what was happening there.


Xxxx: THIS IS A ROBBERY, EVERYONE ON THE GROUND OR I FINISH YOU JUST LIKE THESE GARBAGE HERE - shot the dead bodies on the floor again.

My only reaction was to throw myself like the others on the floor, my heart was going out of my chest, my whole body was shaking, as I looked at the dead security guards lying on the floor, the huge pool of blood around them.


Xxx - FUCK UP, EVERYBODY ON THE FUCKING FLOOR.
he shouted what appeared to be the boss.


All twelve had machine guns in their hands.


Five of them masked went to the direction and brought the people who were there, all of them, to the cashiers.


No exception.


Two of them closed the bank exit and stood looking at us and shooting at the ceiling.
The sounds of gunshots scared everyone, and that's why some of them were already crying and muttering desperately. Including me.


Xxx - WHO IS THE MANAGER HERE?
everyone was silent - WON'T TALK? OR I WILL HAVE TO KILL THESE CHILDREN. shot at the windows gives the direction that shattered on top of them.


Their screams of pain made me cry even more.
My God!


Messiah - IT'S ME, PLEASE DON'T HURT ANYONE ELSE.
she begged.


Xxx - YOU GET UP.
pulled him by the collar of his shirt leaving him standing and pointing the gun at his throat - LISTEN WELL, BECAUSE I'M NOT TALKING AGAIN YOU SHIT, YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT ONE THERE... pointed at a guy behind him - AND THAT OTHER pointed to one in the corner - TO THE FUCKING SAFE, YOU HEAR? the manager nodded - GET THAT SHIT CONPADE - threw him on top of the other assailants behind him.


Www - LET'S GO YOU SHIT.
she pushed him into the steering wheel.


Qqq - AND DON'T THINK ABOUT DOING ANYTHING CUTE, IF I DON'T KILL YOU.
the other shouted disappearing with them.


The chief thief began to walk looking into each one's faces.
The others had destroyed the cameras as soon as they entered and now, they were all pointing their machine guns at us.


The chief thief stopped in front of one of the bank attendants and pulled her down hard, leaving her standing on the floor, she screamed as he pointed the gun at her forehead.


Xxx - DON'T SCREAM THE FUCK...
looked at her from head to toe - AIN'T SHE HOT MY GUYS? she asked the others.


They looked at her quickly.


Ddd - HOT, BUT I'VE SEEN BETTER THAN THAT BITCH THERE yelled a - SHUT THE FUCK UP.
furious with the cries, he shot at the cashiers.


Everyone swallowed the tears.
And they were silent, absolute silence.


Xxx - WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
he asked her screaming.


Rrr - Ren..
at...a stuttered.


Xxx - RENATA YOU DON'T SERVE ME threw her down - AND GET YOUR HEADS DOWN EVERYBODY HERE started walking and went towards me, I held my breath, but he passed right by - YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO?
IN THE END I'LL GET SOMEONE TO BE MY HOSTAGE, OR BETTER I'LL GET A WOMAN. laughed evilly - WHO WILL BE THE LUCKY ONE?


A sound of music sounded in the air, everyone looked at each other, it was like a cell phone, the thieves looked around and at the same time that everyone looked at me, the boss took me by the arm leaving me standing.


Xxx - LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE...
he pointed the gun at the back of my head - PASS THE FUCKING PHONE NOW he shouted loudly in my ear.

Klaus Uckermann

 

The sound of a cell phone sounded in the air, everyone looked at each other, until we saw that the sound came out of a woman's bag. The son of a bitch, pulled her arm hard and pointed the gun at the back of her head, who screamed handing her cell phone to him, who threw it on the floor and then shot the device.


Xxx - WHAT'S YOUR NAME BITCH?
she asked against her ear.


Ddd - D..
u..l...c...e replied stuttering and shaking all over.


The son of a bitch ran the barrel of the machine gun over her body and devoured her with his eyes.


Motherfucker!


Yyy - THIS IS THE BIGGEST DELICIOUS CHEF they laughed - IF I GET IT...


Zzz - WE SHOULD TAKE HER BOSS, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS RIGHT?
LIKE THAT WAY, WE HAVE TO TRY IT.


The woman, Dulce as her name was, closed her eyes crying, partly because of the damn humiliation she was going through, and partly because the son of a bitch was taking a long sniff at her neck.


Xxx - BEYOND HOT IT SMELLS MY COMPADRES.
they laughed letting the gun fall to the ground, at their feet and with both hands began to touch it in front of everyone.


WHAT THE FUCK!
FUCK!


I felt my blood boil, and I almost ran on that bastard, but if I did, I would surely die and she herself would be raped.
Mothers who were with children covered their eyes and also closed theirs to avoid seeing such humiliation.


The bastard ran his hands over her thighs and up to the curves, breasts squeezing them hard, she had her eyes closed and cried nonstop, my heart sped up.
DAMN YOU!


Xxxx - Uhm...
he muttered biting her neck and she tried to push him away, but he grabbed her shoulders and hit her hard - YOU DON'T REJECT ME YOU HOT BITCH. he turned her around again and I saw him, goddammit, touching his fucking dick to her ass and he whispered something to her that made her cry even more.


He arrives!
Not knowing what to do, seeing her despair and the imprint of his hand on her face, I began to crawl along the floor discreetly. But I stopped when one of them approached where I was and pointed at the guy next to me.


Ppp - I didn't like you.
shot him in the right shoulder, the guy screamed in pain.


Xxx - WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WE TAKE HER?
HUH? she asked going to the fly of the girl's pants and opening it slowly.


Katherine - Please...
no...she asked between sobs, everyone turned their heads not to look at what was going to happen.


Www - WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THAT CHIEF PLACE?
she screamed and the motherfucker stopped unzipping his fly
- THINK ABOUT IT, WE'LL HAVE IT JUST FOR US.


Xxx - YOU'RE RIGHT...
he sniffed his neck - I WILL NEED HOURS TO DO AS I WANT. laughed. damn!


At the same moment Messiah and the other thieves appeared and threw him to the ground.


Ddd - All ok Boss, now we just take the money and leak.
she said laughing when she saw the boss grabbing the woman
- Have you got us a slut yet?


Xxx - What do you think?
she pushed it to one that caught her. The boss took back his gun and pointed it at us
- You stay with her, but don't you dare touch her before I do.
she warned before disappearing with some men inside.


The guy holding her had her around the waist and held the gun to her forehead tightly.


Half an hour later, they came out with several bags full of money and opened the bank exit.
We heard sirens in the distance, they started to run outside getting inside the cars. But the gang leader took Dulce by the arm and started dragging her out with him, she was crying and struggling not to go.


The guy holding her took off running towards the cars.


Xxx - C'mon FUCK, I DON'T HAVE FUCKING TIME.
he pulled it hard, the machine gun fell to the ground and slipped right into me.


Katherine - PLEASE LEAVE ME PLEASE, PLEASE LEAVE ME...
she screamed sterically and sobbing.


Xxxx - I'M THE BITCH ABOUT YOU.
hit her again.


I grabbed the machine gun and jumped up, approached touching the metal barrel to the back of the motherfucker's neck.


Klaus - Let her go now.
growled.
