14 Pan (1/2)
I was aimlessly walking around the bank making myself look busy.
I took a mental note of everything that could be used to my advantage.
I don't know how many I'm fighting but if it's in 5 and under then I'm confident but if it's more then I'll have to get creative.
I'm not sure just how much improvement I got from Increased recoil control and aim assist but I won't put anything up to chance.
I walk up to one of the indoor ATM's and withdrew $50 just to avail any suspicion there might from the aftermath.
I've already come up with a reason for coming to the bank so that when I do give my statement it won't seem like I knew something was going down.
One thing I'm certain is that a bank robbery was about to happen in a few minutes but what I'm not sure of is if that's all there is to it.
There is a chance they use it as a cover to get to the father and daughter as hostages.
I'm certain that I won't die today but I will be getting out of this with an injury or two. Hopefully, I won't be crippled.
Time was cruel as it felt like I had been analysing my surroundings for hours. I kept my wits about for any sudden movements or anyone with an odd walk which could signify that they were hiding weapons but still, nothing came of it.
I looked at the mini-map and timer and thought 'Target is still in the building, the timer is 5min and 45secs. If it's a robbery then now is the best time'
I watch the seconds slowly go by '44, 43, 42, 41, 40'
Just as it hit 5min and 40secs 3 white vans pulled up on the outside. The vans completely blocked the view of the outside and the inside.

As I can, simultaneously control my clones and myself I'm completely aware of everything that happens both inside and outside.
I walked around the white vans and watch four men wearing white hard hats and a high visibility jacket with a face mask step out from the van.
The four men then pull out a bunch of construction fences and lock off the sidewalk. They put a sign up saying ”Under Construction” then pulled out some jackhammers before aimlessly begin to destroy the sidewalk.
They had entirely isolated the bank from praying eyes and covered any noise with the loud construction sounds.
They have only a few minutes before authority figure out there was no planned construction within the area.

|First Pov Theodore Inside|
The people inside had noticed what was going. The two guards on duty stepped out to ask what was going on.
Before they got to ask what was happening 8 men stepped out in all black leather biker uniforms and black motorcycle helmets with a tinted visor.
One man was carrying a large duffle bag with an action pump shotgun in one hand and a pistol at his side.
The other men were either carrying assault rifles or SMGs with a pistol in a holster at their hips.
The guards pull out their guns and shakily try to hold their ground before two men burst out from the group with phenomenal speed and punch them perfectly on the chin.
The guards fell back with their eyes rolled back and their heads making a horrid thudding noise after connecting with the floor.
”Blitz users,” I said with some shock.
The power Blitz is under the minor-power category. The ability allows the user to burst from its position without much effort and cover at most 20 yards. It also gives the user a boost in leg strength and stamina from birth.
The setbacks with the ability are that the cooldown is 1minute and it leaves the user drained of energy.
The fact that they managed to throw a punch with enough force to knock out the guards after using it tells me that they are well-trained.
The two blitz users lean against the door frame to catch their breath while the other 6 men enter.
Everyone attempts to call police but found that they had no cell service. Thankfully I made the smart bet to leave my phone with my clone, who had already called the police.
A man steps put from the group of assailants and shoots the ceiling.
*BANG, BANG, BANG*
With a distorted voice, he shouts ”If you don't want to die, move to the left wall and get on the floor, face down, hands behind your head and legs spread out. No one will get hurt as long as you cooperate”
No one was willing to get hurt so they followed his instructions while shaking in fear and tears streaming down from their eyes.
One man from the group shoots the ground a few metres to my left.
I thought it was just a random shot but a man that I had taken note of earlier appeared out of nowhere with a shriek.
”As I said on the floor or the next one won't be a warning shot,” Said the man whom I had presumed to be the leader.
'Invisibility!! They must have thermal on them' I thought apprehensively

I quickly bought a set of kitchen knives a bag of zip-ties and a pan from a nearby shop. I then rip them out from the packaging and casually strolled up to the vans.
I stab the tires allowing it to rapidly deflate and cause the van to lean to one side. The so-called construction workers hadn't noticed as they we're hard at work making as much noise as possible.
I hoist myself up on top of the van and scoot myself over the roof. I drop down on the floor and pat myself down. Walking up to one of the construction workers I tap him on the shoulder.
The man turned around expecting one his members but to rudely greeted with an iron pan to the chin.
