I was covered in the blood of an innocent bystander, been taken hostage by a gang of violent bank robbers, yet incredibly my day was about to get worse!

 

I managed to get caught up in the middle of a bungled bank robbery finding myself included amongst the hostages. The robbers were trigger happy incompetents, and had already killed one hostage, albeit by accident, meaning they had nothing to lose. They were itching for a gun-battle all wanting death or glory, rather than going back to jail, which boded badly for us civilians.

​

I looked around my fellow hostages and realized that it was down to me to formulate a plan to gain us our freedom. I had to dig deep but found I had enormous a wealth of cunning, street smarts, and guile to confuse and unsettle the robbers, while thinking of a way to get out of there alive.

​

Would the cops come up with a plan that didn’t involve storming the bank, and killing us in the crossfire? I realized that we were on our own and that the hostages’ safety was all up to me.

​

Maaan, had I been left ‘high and dry’!
