The Big Score
The Big Score
“Alright boys today’s the day” said Rick. We have been planning to rob the Magnum Casino for a whole year, we have been planning everything inside and out visiting the casino everyday so we can see the shifts of the guards, where the cameras are located, and memorize all the exits. My heart was beating fast and I’m not the only one, I can tell by the others faces that they were also nervous despite how ready we are. Rick then says “Ok Zeke you know where to park the car, Darius you know when to blackout the cameras and tell us if anything goes wrong, Yeti you know the two guards to take care of, and Ghost on Yeti’s signal we will move in”. We all get into the van and move to the Magnum, it was a Friday night fight which means the casino is maxed out on money capacity which means each of our shares are 5 million dollars. We all look at each other and nod, Zeke drove off into the planned location, and that left me and Rick to hear the signal from Yeti. Me and Rick look at each other and hear Yeti’s signal, we walk in dressed as casino workers because Yeti suffocated the other two, as were walking we put on our thumbprint glove from the two workers and enter the vault room, as if we were refilling money into the cart. We walk into the vault room and wait for Darius to give us the code he’s encrypting because the code changes every thirty minutes. I look at my watch and see that Darius is taking longer than planned and if someone were to see us loitering around the vault our cover would be blown, not just that but there was only three more minutes until the next code change. Rick is asking Darius what the hold up is and we hear two guards walking towards us, Darius says almost got it, and right when the guards come by us and ask us what we are doing he tells us the code. Rick tells the guards “just refilling some money into the safe cart” they give us a suspicious look but just walk away. I was holding my breath the whole time because I for sure thought our cover would be blown, I give a long sigh and finish entering the code. The vault opens me and Rick look at each other and begin to fill up the money bags, after filling up 25 million dollars we went outside and told Zeke to meet us in front of the casino right after Rick says that, the casino guard is right in front of us, he asks “why did you need to fill up that much money out of the vault if you were just going to refill the slots?” out of pure adrenaline I punch him right in the face and tell Darius “BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT!”, the whole casino went dark and me and Rick ran out as fast as we can with each of us rolling a close to fifty pound cart. Yeti was in the car already and he helps us load the carts and they drive off. Me and Rick walk behind the casino where the dumpsters are and we take out our suits and change quickly and right when I was tying my last shoelace the casino lights go back up and Rick says “you’ll get your share next week” we both nod our heads and walk in separate directions. I see police cars swarming around the casino, I look back grin and walk away like nothing happened.
