《Lethal Virtue》Chapter 1:Betrayal
Advertisement
So it begins. At nine in the morning with a beautiful, calm sunset that was full of energy. Just the right time to open the bank, but also the beginning of a long day of work. The bank just opened their locked doors, allowing citizens to come inside and use the item that controlled the world- money.
After five minutes of the doors being open, a big truck with seemingly no driver came and smashed the 'door'- now no more than a mass of metal. The truck entered, and as it would in any other place, the alarms started blaring, alerting anyone inside the bank (though there were not many): four cashiers, the owner of the bank and two guards who were just talking in one of the halls of the warm and cozy bank. Anyone who entered would feel calm in a bank just seven years old, as clean and well-maintained as a millionaire's mansion with well-paid servants and helpers cleaning it daily.
Before the guards started to run to the front of the bank one of the securities saw on the camera that in the back of the bank 2 smoke bombs were thrown to the ground right in front of the armored vans' storage, after that two men appear to be implanting 2 C4 on the storage entrance and running away with a 10 second timer, while that was happening one of the two guards decided to check the front door while the other one went to the back, meanwhile the owner of the bank named Frank Wilson, as seen of the front of his desk got the courage to stand up and run into one of the guards to ask what was happening and why heard a crash right outside of his bank. As soon as he heard what was happening he went back to his deck and grab the shotgun he had below it, both of them decided to go to the back of the bank as fast as they could but it was too late, they heard an explosion.
Before the guards could run to the front of the bank, one of the security guards saw on the camera that at the back of the bank, two smoke bombs had been thrown onto the ground in front of the armoured van's storage. After that, two men seemed to be implanting two C4 on the storage entrance and ran away with a ten second timer. While that was happening one of the two guards decided to check the front door while the other one went to the back, meanwhile the owner of the bank named Frank Wilson, as seen of the front of his desk got the courage to stand up and run into one of the guards to ask what was happening and why heard a crash right outside of his bank. As soon as he heard what was happening he went back to his deck and grab the shotgun he had below it, both of them decided to go to the back of the bank as fast as they could but it was too late, they heard an explosion.

From the smoke that appeared four man with paint ball mask who were wearing casual clothes like t-shirts and pants but at the same time they all had M14 on their hands and gas mask to protect themselves from the thick smoke. Then a man in the middle of these four men appear out of the smoke with a gray shirt, dark blue pants, brown gloves and boots with a black color hat, bald and also a gas mask but this time the mask looked different, like it was stick to his face, 6,0 tall looking man Caucasian with dark brown looking serious eyes. This guy was John Miller, an Veteran ex-marine that fought in a lot of battles for the U.S but decided to leave and turn into a mercenary that had one desire and it was money, he sometimes appeared on the news as wanted man by the police because he stole a lot of money from many banks and this one was not an exception for him but one day he disappeared and suddenly he came back with a gas mask attached to his face and ready to do what he loved the most, steal money.
"Let's do this" said Miller as he and his man entered the back of the bank ready to start a fast paced robbery of the well maintained bank which the inside where all the money was weirdly enough was attached to the car storage. The vault where the money was placed was a very complex vault which of he though it was not going to break very easily, that is why he did not brough any materials but brough an idea that could open the vault.
When the guard named Will Wades and the owner Frank Wilson finally arrive at the back of the bank they saw the five that had entered this place and made a hell inside of it.
Instantly the second Miller and his men saw both men coming they all started aimed at them with their guns, Miller said while pointing at Frank with his Beretta M9 "hello Franky why you don't my men and I get to the bank vault for you to opened and we clean it?". Frank was already aiming at Miller already ready to shoot so he could protect his workers because he was a brave man and would do anything to keep them safe.
"Boss maybe we should obey this guys have bigger guns than us" said Will with a nervous voice, "Five minutes Franky o and i know you care about your workers that is why i put one little gift on the truck that is on the front of the bank, so you better do it or else" said Miller, Miller was a man who was ready to do things fast and not waste time and it never gave him problems when it comes to doing his job, with a serious look on his face Frank decided to go with them to the vault of the bank. "Bring the subject" said Miller to one of his men, "for this job you have to be precarious, that is why there shall never be misses and by the way, 4 minutes Frank", after 20 seconds one of his men brought one of the cashiers that looked not older than 25 and put it in the floor, taking out a knife and putting it on this cashier's cheek, "Yes i know that this cashier is your son that has been working for you for the past 4 years, if i remember correctly his name was Noah Wilson and he was going to be the owner of the bank later on, or he will be, who knows it all depends on your choice of opening that damn vault Franky".

With now desperate eyes and worried mouth Frank said to his son "it would be alright Noah after i let this damn cowards get what they want" then so he did, he started unlocking the door while taking his time because of the fact that a vault door was never easy to open. "1 minute and 25 seconds, Franky Come on I have to get this money out so I and my men can get some beef in Mariah's restaurant at 5pm man", Mariah's restaurant was a 4 four stars place near the bank which weirdly enough it got robbed 5 days ago.
When Frank finally got the vault open he took a breath of relief "there I opened now let everyone free", "well done Franky, alright boys get on there with the packs and get that sweet cash" said Miller, while 2 of his men where putting the money in the bags because the third one went to check on the other cashiers and the guard Miller was starting to be acting stressed, "you know one of the things I hate the most from this chaotic world is betrayal Frank, and the reason i am telling you this is because your son did that, you see I did not even knew about this place but because of your stupid son's fault is why i am here today, the reason why is because one day your dumb son saw me one day on one of the casual illegal bar I go to that probably your dumb son got it for the drugs that where in there the dumb fuck, so he saw me and knew who i was and he came to me and told me that he worked here and that he would make it easy for us to get in and steal this place, and the funny thing is that he did! now he also told me the motive of why wanted that and it's because he asked for a deal that i would give him 20% of what comes of out of this robbery, and as an asshole that i am of course i accepted, now of course I had to research of my own about this place and I saw that it was a very easy one to get, so it begun" said Miller, "o and by the way thanks to him the police has not got called thanks to the alarms if any of the guards is asking why, and one my men already took the phones out of the people that are in here, now this is what i call betrayal at his finest if you ask me, that is why you better be thankful that i would give your son a lesson and I will not give him shit of the reward" said Miller with an angry laugh.
"But you said it was a deal!" Said Noah while being nervous,"well this is why you should never considering trusting a wolf, sheep". When his men finally took out all of the money and put it in the cars they came from Miller was already ready to leave "alright boys let's leave this place" all of his men where going to the car with an amount of money that was up to 2 million dollars, a small amount but at the same time an easy robbery.
"Well then everything is done and ready to go, but also Frank you where 1 minute late" said Miller while taking the safety off in his gun "BANG!!" Said Miller while shooting the leg of Noah, "I lied there was no bomb but indeed there was a timer but it was not for a bomb" said Miller while Frank was grabbing his son and asking if he was ok,Miller was walking away where his men where on the cars and ready to leave, "and it all happened in just one hour" said Miller before getting in the car and going away.
This was a day in the desolated town of Grand Vilstine in where back stabbing, betrayal and crime were very common because of the fact that even the police could not handle the amount of criminals that exist on this place, there are so many like rats but also there were whales and bigger whales that would control everything in this poor town full of chaos and need of freedom and justice. But above all the criminals and whales there is also an organization that rules over this town and many other towns and cities of this country, they are secret on what they do, who knows if there is good or bad in this secret organization that soon will change the course of this chaotic world, this organization is called CYTRO.

Blood of the Past
He awoke in a startled rush feeling as though it had been centuries since last he had opened his eyes, but alas, it had. His thoughts returned and he heard the screaming of his people and the great pain from the burning fires set against them. He was shunned and outcast along with the rest of his people, and the wars, the terrible wars fought because they could not understand. The Humans could not understand and would not understand him and his peoples true nature. He stood, his strength returning to him, as he did so the dust that had gathered on him fell to the floor.
