Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: "The Zero Hour"

We got the team together. The truth is that I felt a little sad to have to stop his vacation. They were having such a good time. They were surprised to see me next to Lucia, because she had been trying to capture us when we raided the banknote factory.

I told them that now she is on our side. I also told them that Robert had been captured by the military, and that with the jousts he passed the word to Liz so that she could come and warn us. At first, nobody wanted to rescue him, but I convinced them in the following way:

- In the previous robbery - I told them - there were always problems with all of you. We had critical moments, circumstantial moments of vital importance, but despite all that, the whole band was there to help each other. It is for that reason that we cannot abandon any member of our family.

- Joseph is right - Lucia supported me - we can never abandon any member of our family and allow someone to torture him.

- I agree with every word you said - Liz said.

- I also agree - said William

- I'm with you - he said

And so, each agreed to rescue Robert.

But, we couldn't do the heist, we still needed a key person at this point. His name was Diego, and he was a person very, very close to my brother.

I went to visit him alone, I shouldn't visit him with anyone else because we had to talk about my brother.

I went to his house, he opened the door for me and said:

- Enter Joseph

- Hi Diego

- Do you know what happened at the National Central Banknote Factory in the country?

I did not know what to answer:

- Yes, I have ...

- A third of your band died, and you did nothing to try to save them. Not even your own brother.

At that moment, Diego was devastated, he became very sad. Too much, I would say.

He started messing up his whole house. I approached and tried to reassure him:

- Tell me something Joseph - he said - did you have your brother's death planned?

I was sad, and at the same time worried about him, I said to him sincerely:

- I did not have my brother's death planned

At that moment, he approached me and hugged me, he began to cry saying:

- He was imperceptible to me

The only thing I could do was hug him and also cry with him. It saddened me that he suffered the same as I did when I lost my brother.

What I didn't tell you is that the plan to do the heist was never mine. It was from Diego and my brother.

- But I tell you something? - He said to me - you're not to blame either, you know? It was not your fault

- Thank you - I said to him when we could calm down.

Then I told him why I came for him, I needed his help. I told:

- I'm going to steal the gold. I'd say it would be like a tribute to my brother, but I really need to. And I'm not going to do it without you.

He agreed and at the same time said that he was going to call his other 2 companions to carry out the robbery.

It took me 1 month to teach the plan to others. But it was worth it, since everyone was already ready for tomorrow.

In the afternoon of that day, I was on the beach, I was remembering some moments that came to my memory.

The whole plan was ready to rescue Robert. Until Lucia came to my side. I wonder if she was okay with what we would do tomorrow. I said:

- Yes. The robbery is practically a declaration of war on the system.

- That's a big mess, right? - Lucia asked me

"It had never been a very big one," I replied.

April 6, 8 o'clock in the morning: (Zero Hour)

The sky was cloudy, but a little sunny. The city center was packed with people.

From one moment to the next, people looked up, you may be wondering why

They looked to the sky, because there were 3 zeppelin, which belonged to us and from one second to another, they released millions and millions of dollars throughout the city. People began to try to take all the tickets they could, in that way, the chaos began in the city, and at the same time, it was our way of saying:

"We are back".
