It all went very fast, that’s all I remember. I was queuing at the desk of the bank when several men burst in, shouting and shooting in the air. They ordered everybody to lie down. They were wearing balaclavas, just like in movies. It seemed to me there was one woman in the group, because she was smaller and had a higher pitched voice, but since they all wore loose-fitting track suits, it was difficult to say who was who.
They shouted at the clerk, urging her to open the safe. I said to myself: “I hope she doesn’t resist, otherwise we’ll be taken as hostages”. Then I thought: “What a selfish consideration”.
The clerk obeyed. Unfortunately, the thieves didn’t find what they were looking for in the safe. They just said: “Fuck, it’s not in there. What do we do?”
That’s when we heard the police sirens in the distance. The thieves ran out. When the police arrived, everything was finished.
It may seem stupid, but somehow, I felt disappointed.
