As the chaos continued at the bank, Terry Snacker made a swift decision. Noticing the police, FBI, and CIA converging on the scene, he realized he needed to act fast. He glanced at the bank's mirrored walls and saw the guard, who was still conscious and potentially a threat to his escape plan.

Terry grabbed his discarded gun and fired a warning shot, deliberately aiming close to the guard's face to cause a distraction without intending to kill. The guard, frightened and panicked, immediately raised his hands, his face pale with terror. This brief diversion allowed Terry to quickly grab all of the team's stolen money, stuffing it into his giant backpack.

With the loot securely packed, Terry made his way out of the bank unnoticed by his greedy colleagues. As he slipped away, a member of his team raised a gun to shoot the incapacitated guard, but was abruptly silenced by a sniper's bullet to the shoulder. The ensuing commotion drew the attention of law enforcement and FBI agents, who arrived in full force along with helicopters.

The team, now exposed and outnumbered, took cover on the rooftop, bewildered by Terry's disappearance and the magnitude of the situation. They were left grappling with their greed and the reality of their predicament.

Meanwhile, Terry's focus shifted as he made his escape. He headed towards his next destination, where he could blend in and lay low.

Back at the library, Terry's attention was momentarily diverted. He parked himself in a quiet corner of the library to process the recent events and plan his next move. The serenity of the library provided a stark contrast to the chaos he had just left behind.

Sarah, the student volunteer, greeted Terry with a friendly smile as he approached the front desk. "Hey, you. Let me guess - you have a study room reserved."

Terry returned her smile, playing along with a casual demeanor. "Yeah, that's right. Just need a quiet spot to work on some projects."

Sarah, clearly in a good mood, handed him the key to the private room. "I hope it's peaceful in there. Enjoy your study time!"

Terry thanked her and headed to the reserved study room. Once inside, he took a deep breath, removed his backpack, and began organizing the stolen money. He knew he had to keep a low profile while planning his next steps carefully. The weight of the heist and the consequences of his decisions hung heavily on him, but he remained focused on achieving his goals.
