-Finn-
-Wentworth Bank-
The first thing Finn heard was Michael's excited tone of voice before a sharp slap on his shoulder brought the older brother back to reality. Even though his brother was dressed entirely like a ninja, they had decided that their strange costumes would look so different from their true appearance, it would make hiding from the police much easier.
"Remember Mikey, no real names and don't hurt anyone."
Finn pulled the lower mask on before stepping away from his brother; the cameras inside the bank were out, but there was no telling about street surveillance and there were witnesses galore. Leaving the alley into the light for the first time since he had gotten changed, he passed the hardware and convenience store on either side. It was 9:05 on the dot and the exact time they had planned to enter the building, so he headed across the street where they couldn't turn back.
Other than emails and text messages, the Regel brothers didn't have much contact with the person who had hired them to rob the bank. They had fifteen thousand dollars deposited into each of their accounts over night, with the other half to be supplied when the job was finished. The pair had discussed it and decided that if they were going to pull a bank heist, they might as well make it count. Finn had big plans for their base of operations, so they would need a lot of cash to pay for a skilled contractor's silence.
The bank itself was massive, the main floor's ceiling over thirty feet high with a barrel ceiling. Floor to ceiling windows ran parallel on either side with teller stations lining the walls in their original, antique woodwork. There were about two dozen patrons and fifteen workers overall, along with two average looking security guards directly at the entrance. As soon as the Regels walked into the bank, the guards raised their arms for the pair to stop.
"Stand aside and show your face." One of them said firmly.
"No can do, sir." Finn said, raising his hand, making a 'tsk tsk' motion with his pointer finger.
The guards reached for the stun guns on their belt, which instantly jumped off and smashed against the marble floor. Their handcuffs snapped around either owner's wrist before dragging them several feet and chaining them to two different radiators.
"You see, we're robbing the place." He added with a smile beneath his mask.
Finn took several broad, confident steps toward the center of the bank. Several patrons who caught sight of what happened began to whisper and talk louder, a wave of panic moving across the room. He half expected his brother to make some grand display, he just hoped that he didn't get a little too wild during the heist. They didn't need to add several counts of murder to their charges.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Finn shouted. "If you cooperate quickly and calmly, this will all be over lickity-split"
The room instantly fell silent, the hostages instantly dropping to the ground without needing to be told to do so. Just as quickly, the silence was broken by a set of heavy double doors on the other side of the room. Five armed guards dressed in swat gear spread out into the lobby with their weapons drawn and aimed skillfully at the two brothers.
"Well, that was unexpected."
