Humiliated

Peter could remember that the last time he saw something like this was when he was in Rwanda during the war between the Hutu and the Tutsi, during the raidings, he would ordered people to lie down, and who ever act smart would be killed on the spot. Never would he thought that he would also be in the same situation. Immediately the people who came from the down floor reach the upper floor, they joined the rest in the lying position. When the cashier who directed Peter to the manager got to the top floor, she noticed Peter and rushed to his side before lying down. Peter was surprised to see such a glorious damsel beside him, 'it's really true that there would be comfort amidst danger, it's only left for one to notice it', he thought with gladness that he was able to notice it. They were unable to make any sound since no one want to be used as an example, Peter could only look at her and her big boobs that looked like they were about to find their ways out. Downstairs, there were five people in numbers, one was at the entrance, if anyone comes through the door, they would send him or her upstairs to join the league. They allowed people in so as not to alert the security agencies, only people who noticed that people only go in and not coming out would find it odd. Two out of the masked men downstairs were packing the money at the counter in a big bag. "You guys should hurry up, we didn't come here for this." The masked man who seemed to be the boss reminded them. What they came for was the money in the bank vault.

With everything done, the boss asked two of the masked men to stay downstairs so as to keep and eye everything going outside, while he went upstairs with the other two. Getting upstairs, he asked who hold the position of the manager, when the manager revealed himself, he asked the two masked men that came up with him and the one who was upstairs before to follow the manager to the bank vault so as to complete their mission. When they left, he turned to everyone lying down and gave a relief lecture. " Permit me to say a few words, I don't care if you like me or not, I'm sure none of you will have good impression of me. We are here to do our work, I'm very sorry that our work had hindered your activities, but don't panic, everything will be fine as long as thing goes on well. If you behave yourself, no harm will come to you. There won't be opportunities to go to the toilet, everyone would remain the same till we leave. Just keep calm and before you know it we are gone."

Even though he said all these to ease the panicking atmosphere, the result was the exact opposite. The lady beside Peter was nervous that she lost her usual calmness. She was frightened to the point that she was shivering. Peter found her reaction funny because what was happening wasn't a life threatening situation or maybe he was the only one having such feeling. "So goddess also panic' he thought with a smile. The lady could not explained why Peter was smiling, because the situation didn't request for it.

Unfortunately for Peter, the boss saw him smiling, he was surprised to see someone smiling in such situation, he thought he was smiling because of what he had said but he later discarded the thought because Peter was staring at the lady beside him, there was a great possibility that he didn't hear all what he had said. Thinking in this direction, he was furious, he walked closer to Peter while suppressing his anger. He used one hand to lift Peter up while holding the gun in the other hand. Although Peter didn't want to create show, he would have made it impossible for the guy to lift him up even if he used all his strength. "Why were you smiling?" The man asked while looking at Peter for an answer. Peter looked at the man in the eye, others might find him scary because of his aura. Peter didn't even put him in his eye, after looking at him for some seconds, he then look at the lady lying down who made nervousness had doubled. The masked man also looked at the shivering lady, he no longer find it surprising that Peter wasn't thinking about the situation. But what baffled him was the fact that despite his young age, he was lost in thought because of a lady who should be more older than him.

"You are not thinking of your own life, because of a lady, you were brought to life by a lady, are you also planning to leave because of a lady? See the youth we hope will be the leaders of tomorrow wasting there life on things that can't be theirs. If all youth are like you, then what hope do the country have?" The boss said furiously. People didn't find his words funny, they just couldn't tell him that he also needed such advice. Peter thought he would not see anyone as shameless as him, but seeing this man, he find him more thick skinned than crocodile.

Peter facial expression was like nothing serious was happening. The masked man felt like he was being looked down on, and not by someone significant but he think to be an ant he could kill within a second. Bursting out with anger, he position the gun in his other hand like he wants to pound, which was a riffle, then hit the stock on Peter's face 3times before tossing him away like a waste. Peter stood firmly when he landed even though it was a sudden tossed.
