While Mike uncovered the state secrets, and Emily, William and Diego tried to save the governor's life, Liz and Alicia prepared the hostages for the police attack.
-Listen to me - said Liz - the police will carry out an attack on the bank. Put on these red jumpsuits, these bulletproof vests, and these masks.
And the hostages listened to her
When everyone was ready, just in time, Emily, Diego and William managed to save the life of the governor. Then Diego said:
- Perfect, now Emily, you stay here. The governor still has to rest because he is still unconscious. You will be in charge of the gold smelting process. And also to get them out of the vault.
- Okay - Emily said, and then she said to William - William, take the red boxes up. The police will attack us at any moment and these red boxes are our only way to prevent it
-Yes, that's fine-said William before going to the elevator with Diego, because he still couldn't see
Meanwhile, outside the bank, Colonel Tamayo asked Suarez if they were ready to attack us. He said yes, and then the colonel gave the order:
-Smoke now! he-yelled he sending the FBI to throw tear gas grenades on the second floor, exactly on the balconies of the bank.
The hostages, who were there wearing red overalls, bulletproof vests and Dalí's masks, began to panic, but Alicia reassured them by saying:
-Quiet, it's just smoke - she told the hostages - now, each pick up a gun and go outside pointing at the police. It doesn't matter if you pull the trigger or try to shoot us, because those weapons are fake.
And if you were wondering why we had told the hostages to wear the red jumpsuits and Dalí masks, it was so that all of us inside the bank would be the same, and in that way, the police would not be able to distinguish who were they robbers or who were the hostages.
Meanwhile, William went up to the first floor of the bank, released the governor's bodyguards, including Gustavo, and William told them:
- Each one of you will go outside with this red box and one of you will carry this white flag in his hand.
We believed that everything would go perfectly, but Gustavo said:
- Do you think, orphan? -He said to William
And yes, William had been without a father from the first robbery, and his mother had long since abandoned him. His father was Christian, but the police ended up shooting him 3 times in the chest, for which, we lost him forever, even though we had tried everything to save his life.
Meanwhile, Colonel Tamayo, seeing everyone dressed in red overalls and Dalí masks on the balcony of the bank, said:
- But what the hell?
- We can't go in there - Angel told him
- We must abort - Suarez suggested, but the colonel said:
- I don't give a shit about balconies. If they have the hostages there, we knock down the front door.
Armored, advance!
And the FBI with the trucks and guns ahead, they started to advance
Hearing and seeing everything that happened, Lucia and I ended up being shocked. We couldn't believe what the colonel was going to do.
Then William said:
- Ahhh, this can't be
And he decided to open the main door of the bank.
- They are opening the doors - said Angel
- Better - Colonel Tamayo said - Let's go with everything, now!
And the special forces, they advanced little by little, but eventually they were going to arrive.
William returned with the governor's escorts, turned to Gustavo and said:
- I'm telling you to go out, dog - William said to Gustavo
- Nobody move - Gustavo said
- Get out now! - shouted William
- The special forces are about to arrive - Gustavo said - nobody is moving
The police kept approaching the bank, they were no longer anywhere to enter
- What you gonna do? - Gustavo asked William - Are you going to shoot us like they shot your dad?
This made William furious and hit Gustavo in the face causing him to fall to the ground.
So William put the batteries in and went to where the red boxes were. He took them and decided to go out himself. Not before John yelled at him:
- William! What are you doing?
But William ignored him because he was willing to stop the police attack. He stepped outside the bank and yelled:
- White flag! White flag! -While he held the state secrets in his other hand
- What is he doing? -I asked myself-what is he doing?
- White flag! White flag! White flag! - William kept repeating
A sniper police officer told Colonel Tamayo:
- Target confirmed
Alicia, who was William's girlfriend, raised the mask to her head and cried out in a worried tone:
- William!
William stopped screaming and looked at all the police around him with a worried face and fear that they would shoot him.
William stopped screaming and looked at all the police around him with worried faces and fear that they would shoot him.
-I have the target within range. Target in the crosshairs - said the sniper police - I request permission to shoot, sir. Permission to shoot. I repeat, permission to shoot.
- A State can allow you to take the army out to the streets - my brother told me some time ago - A State can allow you to enter the National Reserve, even steal its gold, but there is something that they cannot resist, there is something that he cannot tolerate it happening. A state cannot accept that you get to its secrets. If we take out those red boxes and they see them, it will take less than a second to know what we have in hand and they will be ours.
- Sons of the great whore - said Colonel Tamayo
- Because in those 24 boxes, they keep the secrets of the Ministry of the Interior, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, in which the reserved funds are spent, the state sewers! - My brother continued - Everything that the system cannot allow to be known, so as not to fall down the drain where their own excrement is hidden.
At that moment Tamayo yelled and smashed the table:
- Curse!
And then he told the police:
- We stop the attack! I repeat, we aborted. We respect the white flag and we retreat.
And the police did so, they aborted the attack.
At that moment Tamayo angrily asked Angel
- Is it possible those bastards are diving into the vault?
- I don't know Colonel - said Angel - I don't know
And the people of the demonstration who were outside the bank being restrained by the police and were on our side began to applaud, shout and beat us for having won this first confrontation against the police.
Lucia got up and sighed in relief with happiness, and I flicked my arms back and forth 6 times in a row quickly and then we both kissed. We were celebrating our victory in this first confrontation with the police.
William tossed the boxes, went back inside, and closed the bank doors again.
I left the caravan where we were, on the beach, I looked at Lucia behind me and she was smiling. She was very happy after the victory.
Then I was happy too and ran to the seashore. Lucia laughed and she also ran after me. As I ran to the sea I screamed:
- Yes!
- Hey! Lucia exclaimed and she jumped on me, I held them with my arms and we kissed again. Then we laughed a little and kissed again.
I fell on the sand and we kissed again, then we rolled a little into the sea, and we got wet. We hugged as we were, soaked in water, and we had one last kiss, in the middle of the sunset.
It was one of the happiest moments in my life, which would never return, because the real problems had just begun.
