Prologue
G
host slammed the clip into the base of the M-16 rifle in which he held and then rolled his Bill Clinton mask down over his face. He looked around the back of the van at his two partners in crime who all wore black, and a bulletproof vest resting over the top of their shirts.
“Dana, no unnecessary gunfire this time please,” Ghost said, giving his little sister a hard stare.
“Last time wasn’t my fault,” Dana said, as she pulled her Obama mask down over her face. At the last heist, a guard caught himself trying to be a hero and save the day. Thanks to Dana, he was quickly rewarded with a bullet right between the eyes.
Ghost looked over at the man who sat next to Dana. “Dougie you ready to roll?”
“I’m as ready as can be,” he said flashing a nervous smile, as he pulled down his Ronald Reagan mask, grabbing the two large duffle bags that rested down at his feet. Dougie’s job was to snatch as much money as he could while Ghost and Dana took care of the rest. They gave him the name ‘Dougie’ because he was good at and loved doing the Dougie dance, so the name kind of stuck with him.
Ghost called out to the driver, “Hey Randy you keep this motherfucker running!” The last thing Ghost needed was to come running out the bank and have to lose valuable seconds waiting for the car to start.
Randy gave him a head nod as he watched the trio hop out the back of the van and enter the bank.
TIME IS MONEY
An Anthony Stone Novel
Chapter 1
Time Is Money
“H
ow you doing today Ms. Evans,” the bank guard politely asked the elderly woman. He’d been working at this bank for the last three years and he loved his job.
“I’m doing well. How about yourself?”
“Just hanging in there,” the guard said with a smile.
“I’m just happy to see another day.” He was getting ready to say something else, but the words got caught in his throat when he saw a man wearing a Bill Clinton mask carrying an assault rifle, followed by another gunman wearing an Obama mask enter the bank.
“Get the fuck on the floor now!” Bill Clinton yelled, scaring everyone in the bank. He roughly slammed the guard down on the floor and removed the man’s pistol from his holster.
Obama held two silenced 9mms and aimed them at two of the clerks that stood behind the counter. Once everything was under control, Ronald Reagan hopped over the counter, grabbed one of the clerk’s by her blonde hair, and smacked the shit out of her. “Bitch, take me to the safe right now!” Scared to death, the clerk did as she was told.
“Everybody stay calm and nobody gets hurt!” Bill Clinton yelled, keeping everybody in line. He quickly glanced down at his watch. Forty seconds had passed since the time they stepped foot in the bank.
Once in the safe area, Ronald Reagan shoved the blonde haired clerk down to the floor, as he began to fill up the two duffle bags quickly. He held the bag open with one hand, while he shoveled money into the bag with his other hand. Once the first bag was filled, he quickly grabbed the second bag, but stopped abruptly when he heard in his earpiece that a silent alarm had been pulled on his police scanner. “Oh shit!” he said, as he ran back out to the front of the bank. “We got trouble! Somebody pulled the silent alarm!”
“We still got three minutes before the cops show up! We’ll be gone in two! Go grab as much money as you can in one minute!” Bill Clinton told him. “Let’s go! Time is money!” he yelled, looking down at his watch.
Obama looked at the other clerk and noticed the nervous look on her face. “You pulled that alarm?”
“I’m sorry,” the clerk said, as tears ran down her face. “Please don’t hurt me. I have a fam...” Obama put a bullet in her head before she could even finish her sentence. Obama then turned his gun on the next clerk and put a bullet between her eyes as well. Before that clerk’s body even got a chance to hit the floor, he was already on to the next clerk.
“Time!” Bill Clinton yelled. Instantly Ronald Reagan emerged from the back with a duffle bag strapped over both shoulders. Bill Clinton then yelled, “Triangle Offense!”
Obama quickly headed towards the door making sure the coast was clear in the front, while Bill Clinton brought up the rear and power walked backwards making sure the coast was clear from behind while protecting the money man that rested in between the two.
Once outside, the trio hopped in the van and Randy quickly put the pedal to the metal and left tire marks in front of the bank. Randy drove fifteen blocks away and pulled into an underground parking garage, where all four of them hopped out the van and into separate cars.
Ghost snatched the Bill Clinton mask from his face and grabbed one of the duffle bags while Dougie removed his Ronald Reagan mask and grabbed the other bag. Dana removed the Obama mask from her face and leapt in an Acura that awaited her.
“Everyone meet at the safe house in an hour!” Ghost said, as he pulled out of the parking garage first followed by Randy, Dana, and then Dougie.
Chapter 2
Sticky Situation
D
etective Anthony Stone pulled up to the scene and could immediately tell by how much press was out in front of the bank, that whatever had happened, it wasn’t good. It was a media circus out there. Reporters hovered along the outskirts of the police barrier, buzzing and speculating on what had happened. Stone pushed his way through the reporters and ducked under the yellow tape, heading towards the bank when he was stopped by a white uniform officer.
“Back behind the tape now!” an officer yelled. “This is a crime scene here!”
“Yeah I know dick head,” Stone said as he flashed his badge and brushed pass the officer. Stone’s white t-shirt and sagging jeans must have thrown off the officer.
“I’m so sorry about that detective,” the officer quickly apologized.
Stone waved the officer silent and walked over to where he saw his captain standing with an angry face. “Hey Captain how’s it looking?”
“Not good; not good at all!” the captain barked. “This is the fourth bank these fuckers have hit in the last two months!” he fumed.
“You sure it’s the same crew?” Stone asked, looking around at the mayhem and destruction that was left behind.
“Positive!” the captain barked. “You’re my best detective and I want you on this case.”
“Captain Fisher, I have a lot on my plate right now. Are you sure you want me on this case?” Stone asked. The last time Captain Fisher had personally assigned Detective Stone to a case things ended in a high speed chase with two hostages murdered.
“Stone you’re my only hope right now,” Captain Fisher said. “You may be a wild card, but right now you’re our only shot at catching these fuckers.”
Stone had heard about the series of bank robberies that had taken place over the last few months. Three violent gunmen walked into a bank, took all their money, and murdered at least two victims in less than two minutes, each time. The police had no clue who the gunmen were, but Stone planned on getting to the bottom of it. “I need to see the tapes.”
Captain Fisher walked Anthony Stone in the back where the surveillance cameras were held. “These animals have to be stopped!” Captain Fisher fumed.
Anthony Stone sat down in a fold out chair and watched the tapes carefully. The first thing he noticed was that the trio were unusually organized and they weren’t afraid to kill if they had too. He also noticed that the trio never stayed inside a bank for longer than four minutes, making it even more difficult for authorities to catch them red handed. Whoever the gunmen were, they seemed to be very clever. “Hold on! Stop the tape!” Stone yelled out. “Rewind it back about ten seconds.”
When the tape played over, Stone noticed that the gunman wearing the Obama mask had a nice ass and some thick thighs. “Obama is a woman,” he called out.
“How can you be so sure?” Captain Fisher asked.
“Look at that ass,” Stone said smiling. Everyone knew he was an action freak, but he was also a ladies man. “And check out those thighs.”
“So our shooter is a woman,” Captain Fisher said. “Look in our database and see if we can find a woman that meets those measurements that has a criminal record.”
