《Phantom Year one》The Hold-Up pt3

“So, what have you discovered?” Hank who was back home in his secret bunker spoke to Ferdinand over the phone. “Well for one thing, whoever it is your up against, their definitely no small fry. They’ve completely disappeared apart from a few names who are either dead or missing its like they were never there”
Hank pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration as he heard the news, “thanks anyway” Hank spoke as he fell into his seat. “you’re welcome if you ever need me, just call” Ferdinand responded before ending the call, leaving Hank seated with his hand over his head trying to calm the ache that was beginning to form in his head.
Looking back to his computer screen he looked to the files displayed on his PC screen trying to figure out why Jessica was here and what it is she could be up to. Looking through what he had Hank fell back into a memory.
Hank was knocked onto his back causing him to let go of his weapon, after groaning in pain he looked above to see a hand reaching out to help him up. Hank gained a smile on his face before taking the hand, “It seems I win again, what is it now? ... forty-five to twenty-two” Jessica looked him in the eye with a wide grin etched unto her face.
“That was luck” Hank retorted, “sure it was Jay, as were the other twenty-three times I beat your ass.” Jessica let out a gasp soon after though as Hank pulled her close with his arms around her waist, “You’re hot when you act cocky” Hank whispered into her ear, “I’m not cocky, I’m confident also don’t forget the instructors are keeping a close eye on us”
“They stopped paying attention as soon as the spar was over” with those words Hank leaned in to kiss her.

With that Hank was back in the present looking to his screen that brought him no closer to any information.
In a GCB Bank branch, people were lined up for Banking service when a man alongside two women walked in. The mannerisms of the two drew the attention of the security officer who walked towards them, the security officer was soon before the man “sir would you and the two ladies behind you mind taking of your cap, it’s not allowed in here” “sure” the man responded with a smile but as he reached for his cap the younger lady by his side was fast enough to hit the officers head knocking him out directly. The commotion had drawn the attention of all present.
The three pulled out their weapons pointing it at the customers and tellers, “everyone down! Now!” The man shouted out his order which caused the customers to kneel wherever they stood, “hands where I can see them!” The man gave another order which caused them all to rase their hands.
“Hey you! Do you think you are exempt?” the older woman spoke to the bankers who were still behind their counter, “move out here now!” with a few more minutes all personnel in the bank were brought to the front guarded by the younger lady who had her gun aimed at the people in case they dared to move.
The older two on the other hand made their way to the safe, “okay Kwesi we are before the safe” The older man spoke into the comms he had in his ear. “done” was the response that came over the coms as the door before them opened up. Looking at the money packed neatly before them the man spoke up, “alright I’ll take left you take right” with that they brought out bags and began to fill them up with the money.

After a few more minutes the man spoke up, “Jackson get the car upfront now we’re done in here” “just in time too” Kwesi spoke up at this moment, “someone outside noticed something suspicious, the police will be there in a few minutes.”
“You heard the boy, lets move” The man zipped up the bags before him as he left with the woman in tow, “we’re leaving” he spoke up once again as they passed the younger woman who nodded before flashing a grin to the hostages as she left following behind the two as a Van pulled up for them to enter.
The van had just turned the street when the police cars swarmed the streets with Naa in the lead they rushed into the Bank only to discover they were too late. A bit farther away Ferdinand looked to the police cars with a determined look on his face he turned away, walking away from the scene.
Naa after checking on the hostages an making sure every one was alright decided to interview some witnesses but she failed to get useful information except for the genders of the robbers. "how are we on the security cameras?" Naa went up to their tech guy, "all cameras went down during the robbery, there is a code running through the Bank system"
"can you crack it, or at least find out who is responsible for it" Naa asked the important question but the answer from the tech guy was a shake from his head which caused Naa to walk away disappointed.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
