"Rob a bank? what?" Said Werewolf.
"We are going to steal all the money inside the Saint Bank of Kruschen!" I tried to explain it a bit better to them.
"Isn't thatโฆ like... a great sin, stealing a Saint, like one that will send us directly to hell?" Said Werewolf.
"There is no hell, nor heaven, there is nothing beyond here and now, You may choose to believe this or not. But If you truly have faith in the existence of heaven or hell you wouldn't be here with us right, otherwise fighting the Godking would directly send us all to hell."

"Don't get this wrong stealing is indeed wrong, but it's for a good cause, we need money to keep our operations and by robbing the Saint bank we will be hurting the Saints, the Government, and getting funds for ourselves, killing two birds with one stone, actually three birds. We won't be harming people who don't deserve it, you could think of this robbery as we recovering our own money, the money of every exploited worker." I explained to them.
"You said that stealing is wrong, but if there is no Heaven or Hell why would we need to bother if something is right or wrong? For me, this is just a way for the Godking to control us" asked Kathleen

"Just because the things we consider to be right or wrong, our moral code, are religious creations, it doesn't mean they are fake, the definition of right and wrong is directly connected to religion, and without it, where it would start? Religion is needed for the birth of civilization, some may say it gives mankind purpose and meaning. but most importantly it gives rules, commandments or sins. Punishment like hell for those who break the rules. Reward like Heaven if you follow them diligently"
"So you think the Godking is needed"? she said with despise in her voice.
"I didn't say that. Religion was needed. Religion, not the Godking, and it WAS needed, it isn't anymore, when someone steals something they aren't worried if they are going to hell, they are worried if the police will catch them, the fear of prison is bigger than hell, It's only natural you fear more something you know that is real. Rules already are defined through laws, punishment the state provides through police and arrests, and rewards are chosen by the State.
"Hmm, I got it" Kathleen said, while the others seemed to not quite understand or at least tried their best like Rotciv.
"But, like we gonna rob it now?" asked Werewolf breaking the talk apart
"No, not now" I answered and after our brief exchange of words I could feel that Werewolf would bring me lot's of headaches in the future.
"First we gonna scout the target area, next we gonna make the plan, and finally execute it, but we shall talk more at somewhere else..."

It was been a few days since the Preacher decided to rob a bank, and today is the first day of our work, we left Steel's house and went to the upper district, with our best clothes, and some even that Preacher bought for us.

The bank was a big building with a tower in the east of the upper district, It reminded me of a church because of its appearance and colour, but it is greater than a chapel and way smaller than the capital's cathedral, it's said that the owner of the bank is the Saint of finances, one of the richest Saints of all Kruschen
It was my first time in the upper district, it was way different from the slums, it was like two different cities, one was clean, beautiful, broad and smelled good, and the other was the exact opposite.

At my side it was the Preacher and Kathleen we would be entering the building with the best clothes of us all, it was clothes that just the people in the upper district uses, it was very smooth, but it didn't warm us as our older clothes Preacher said that it was because our clothes were efficient in the upper district people has money to buy ways to keep themselves warm, so they can buy fashion clothing, while the poor don't have this option.
I and the Preacher were using something clothes called Suits, his was black while mine was more grey and a bit tight, and Kathleen was using a very fancy dress.
Both the Preacher and Kathleen now are using black hair, well at least Kathleen, she is more beautiful with her natural hair, but black hair suits her well too, Preacher's hair became a dark grey, and it doesn't matter the amount of colour he added his hair just couldn't become black as her, but it did let him more unrecognizable at least.
The others were searching outside the building, and the nearest police station looking for anything useful for the future Heist, Preacher said that he wanted to know everything, amount of carriages, horseless carriages, horses, if there was any back entrance to the bank, if there was any manhole near the building, distance to the nearest police station, everything...
When we entered the building, to my surprise, it was rather different from the chappels I've gone. it was empty, or better, for its size it was empty, the people inside were mostly people who worked there as attendants or guards
Inside the building there weren't many seats like in a chappel, there were seats just in front of the desks of the attendants which were linked one on another making a barrier to the other side where it would lead where the money is stored.
The walls were well decorated with paintings that looked expensive and sometimes there were some statues made of stone, I was impressed by the statue of a horse on its two feet which seemed so real that it looked like at any moment it could start running.

I was about to throw up when he said for me to relax, but Kathleen held my hands, she reminds me of Kamilla, and that made me remember other things, things I would rather forget. I overcame that feeling thanks to Kathleen but refused to keep holding her hand, I bring a hand to my head and realised that I was breaking out in a cold sweat.
After a while one attendant signalled to us after finishing attending one client, we walked upon his table, he was rather young and bland, he looked like he was in his twenties.
"Welcome to Saint's kruschen Bank How can I serve you?"
The Preacher is to do the majority of the talking, if anything happens Kathleen is able to talk, he made me plenty sure that I wasn't supposed to say anything.
"Good afternoon, we would like to talk with the manager to open an account"
"Good afternoon sir, You are already speaking with him and I shall comply with your request, but I have the duty to ask who are you before discussing the opening of an account"
"Of course, be my pleasure, I am Lady Karpov's lawyer Yuri, This woman, as you can imagine is Miss Karpov, and the man behind is her bodyguard Brute." Preacher said

He didn't let me use it, the preacher said that I choose werewolf and would keep it, and using brute would be dangerous since after the heist it could be the name of a suspect.
"But for you being the Manager at such young age, What is this feat due to? You surely look like a very intelligent man" asked Kathleen.
"I'm thankful for your kind words, but I am not as young as I look, I have thirty-six years, and I work here since I was sixteen."
"I wasn't expecting to see someone soo bright and beautiful as the manager of the bank, your wife surely is a Lucky woman"
"I am single... Working here since a young man I didn't have much time for romance."
"I don't know if I should be sad or happy by hearing this" Kathleen teased the man.
The man tossed a bit before changing the subject of the talk.
"And what is the nature of your business Lady Karpov?" asked the Manager directly to Kathleen.
"My client, Lady Karpov is one of the greatest landowners in the west, and shortly she will buy her title of Saint and move to the capital" Answered the Preacher
"And where is Mr Karpov?" asked the man.
"There is no Mr Karpov" answered Katheleen holding the hand of the attendant, that made me feel a bit uncomfortable, but I didn't realise what I was feeling at that time.
"I shall do my best to help you open an account swiftly then" said the Manager grabbing her hand as it was a promise.
"Hold onto your horses Sir, first there are some directives I must talk with you" said the Preacher.
"What are your questions mister Yuri?"
"This bank surely seems suitable for Saints, but I have my regards about security, I didn't see anything too great, beyond the number of guards, what makes this bank safer than any other bank? what makes this bank something else compared to other banks nearby?
"The first thing that makes this bank different from the others is the amount of money in our vaults, we are proud to announce that we have the Godking and almost all of the Saint's as clients, we are the Government wallet, literally, since all transactions of the government are made though here."
"With so much money many might have tried to steal it"
"Some have tried, yes, but none have accomplished it?"
"Why?" Kathleen asked
"Errrโฆ I think I shouldn't be saying this... but I think it's okay with future clients... besides the guards, we have some agreements with the police and the government, we have a bell at the top of the tower, if we pull the rope cling on it then the police shows after some minutes''
"How many minutes?"
"I don't know no one has ever tried to steal here since I work here, the last time someone tried I wasn't even born and for what I know the guards stopped him before needing to call the police."
"And what about the Vault? it is all pointless if any robber gets to it. How safe it is the safe, I've already been stolen in the past, I wouldn't like to put my trust in a weak safe" said Kathleen.
"I can show you this, many clients have already seen it since it the Joy of the Saint's bank"
He opened to us to go behind the desk and took us to a ladder that goes down to the Vault entrance, it was a big metal door in the middle of a corridor with a lot of locks and things i didn't quite understand.
"This is the Saint's bank Vault entrance, It utilizes the best Vault door on the market, It could stand the explosion of 2 hundred pounds of dynamite, this entire building would be destroyed but this door would keep here"
"But you know the combination to open, don't you? you have to open it to withdraw money when necessary and to put more money and assets if needed, and if you know... someone might threat you to open it." spoke the preacher.
"I don't know the combination, nor do any of the employees of the bank, the only one who opens this door is the Saint Borgis, the owner of the bank and minister of finances, he comes here once a month or when needed to open the Vault entrance for us to do our work as you said. we have a small room where we let the money for exchanges, withdraws and deposits, but we can't took people there. let's go back to my desk."
After returning to our seats
"I got it, I have some more doubts about the price to open an account and how much it will cost to bring her money here, It's not possible for her to bring all her money alone, she would need dozens of carriages, and trustful employees"
"For opening an account it's one hundred thousand Kales and a small fee for every month of one thousand kales"

"And about the transport fees of her money and assets?"
"Depends on a lot of things, I could only speculate, but I need more information about the location"
"Kyneskrave" Preacher answered, it was the biggest city in the west, for what Kathleen told us.
"Kyneskrave hmm, shipping until Korolev Port would be faster and cheaper depending on how many carriages you would need to bring it here, I would have to see personally to speculate everything, but it could be between twenty thousand to seventy thousand".
"We would like to talk to each other before making any decision since it is a lot of money, but we may return in a few days" said The preacher.
"Please, what's your name?" she asked
"Ivan" answered the man.
We left and went to our base where we would be sharing everything we discovered.
The Preacher told everything we discovered, the number of guards inside, he even realised they weren't using weapons besides batons, we could easily subdue them with our guns, and told about the safe, bell and the agreement with the police. And at the same time, he was drawing a map of the insides of the bank that we know of, and where it was the Vault entrance
๐๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด
"How can we enter the vault if it is as impregnable as the man said? are going to steal just the money they use for withdraws and deposits?" asked Iron.
"The safe isn't a problem, I think I have a plan for that, the real problem is the bell and the agreement with the police" Said the Preacher
"That Ivan, he isn't married, and he has his eyes on me, I'm sure of it, we could use it."
"Are you sure?" Asked Rotciv
"I was a prostitute I know when a man has his eyes upon me" She answered, and everyone stayed in silence"
"I think he was more attracted to the fake fortune that would come with you since you were single in the story we created" the Preacher spoke
"Maybe, but he was indeed attracted to me at some point"
"Hmm, we maybe use it, I will have to think about it, and you guys what more you discovered"
"In the entire block of the building, there isn't a single manhole" Said Steel.
"Escaping through the sewers or excavating until the safe then is out of option"
"There is another exit in the back of the building, it looked like a workers exit" Spoke Altar
"Another exit, this will be important"
"There were nineteen carriages surrounding the Bank, and just three were horseless" Rotciv said
"We need to see if this number remains similar in the following days, or if some of those carriages are the same as the next days"
"The police station was twenty minutes on foot from the bank" Said Iron
"By horse, or carriage it may be way less, I think that five to ten minutes is their response time"
No one said anything after that.
"Anything more?"
And no one answered again.
"Hmm that horse statue looked very heavy we could use it to block the entrance..." I said
"Hmm, I will think about it, but I already have a sketch for a plan, the following days we will be revising some things about it and keep investigating the bank, the attendants and guards schedules will be important as the number of carriages outside, and less busy time of the day. So hear me out..."
