“Why can’t I just once find a convenient spot,” Merion said to her self while circling the parking lot looking for an open spot!!! Two more times around and there it was, a BMW was pulling out of the spot closest to the bank’s front door!!! “Finally, a little bit of luck,” she said with a sigh, while gliding her Bonneville in the newly vacant stall!!! “Where’s my check book,” she said, while looking through her purse, “it’s gotta be here someplace!!!” With her nose buried in her purse, she was taken completely by surprise when the car door was ripped open and a young black man forced her into the passenger seat and slid in beside her!!! “W-what are you doing,” she sputtered, “get out of my car this instant!!!” It wasn’t until a moment later that she saw it, a gleaming nickel plated thirty eight that he had pulled from his coat pocket!!! “Shut your fucking mouth, cunt,” he snarled, “and you won’t get hurt!!!” “I don’t have much money,” she said fearfully, “here, take it all, just leave me alone!!!” He knocked the purse out of her hand and replied, “Well you might not have much money now, but in about fifteen minutes you’re gonna be loaded!!!
“I won’t do it,” she said defiantly, “you can’t make me!!!” She never saw it coming until the back of his hand connected flush on her cheek, driving her head hard into the window next to her!!! Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but she was too shocked to do anything about it!!! “Now,” he repeated, “you and I are gonna go into the bank and make a little withdrawal, about twenty thousand I’d figure, and if you don’t do exactly as I say, you’re gonna be the first one to get it,” as he brandished the snub nose in her face!!! “O-okay,” she said softly, “just don’t hit me anymore, please!!!” “That’s better,” he replied smugly, “see how easy nice I can be when you do what I say!?!” All right,” he went on, “here’s the drill, you and I are going into the bank, I’ll announce a hold up, you go around behind the teller line and enter the small vault, it should have at least twenty grand in there!!!” “Forget the small bills, only twenties and higher, put it all in this,” he said, while tossing her a black gym bag, “and what ever you do, don’t take any of the cash out of the teller drawers, it could trip and alarm or be bait money!!!” “After you have the all cash,” he went on, “get your ass back around by me, and then it’s out the door and back to your car for the getaway, I’ll drive, got it!?!” She nodded her head, still unable to believe what was happening to her!!!
They pulled away just as calmly as you please, you’d never guess that they had just pulled a daylight robbery of the Pacific View Bank!!! “How much did we get,” he asked anxiously, “count it for me!?!” Merion dumped the bag of money onto the floor and started adding them up as she piled the bundles back into the bag! “You’ve got twenty seven thousand dollars here,” she said, with the emphasis on the word “you”!!!” “Hot damn,” he exclaimed excitedly, let’s go celebrate!!!” “Now wait a minute,” she protested, “I helped you rob the place, I did my part, so let me go, okay, you can have the car!!!” “I’ve already got the car,” her said evenly, “and as for you, we make a great team, there are at least a thousand banks in L.A., and this was just one!!!
“I’m paid up here for the week,” he said, while they entered the dingy motel room, “maybe after the next couple of jobs we can get a nicer place!!!” She turned to face him and pleaded, “Let me go please, I don’t want to be here!!! Again, out of nowhere, the back of his hand cracked across the side of her face and he spat, “I don’t fucking want to here another thing about it, now shut the fuck up or I can really make you quiet!!!” The tears welled up in her eyes, from both the shot to the chops and the fear in her heart, she wasn’t sure which was worse!!!
