The Robbery

"I said everybody to the fucken ground right now!"

Nobody had seen it coming. The robbers had jumped at them with weapons drawn out and shouting orders for everybody to lie down. And everyone had their chest to the ground in just seconds, except for Monica and Tanya who were still astonished by the 'grocery payment' debacle. 

"Do you want to die?!" 

The robber waved the gun to the face of Tanya who had turned around when she heard the man shout again. "I said hit the fucken ground! This is a motherfucken stick-up bitch!"

Tanya hit the floor first, gobstruck, followed by Monica and a calm Barry. The manager had long been to the ground as her rattled eyes met Barry's. The robbers were three, one manned the entrance, and one pointed his gun at the cashier's to open the drawers; while the one shouting orders smiled at the site of people upholding his every order.

"Now, you! Where's your manager?" The robber roared pointing at the cashier.
