There was no expression on his unshaven face
no hint of what he would do
in the queue of a small busy provincial bank
to any trained observer
he was a suspicious character up to no good
rigid like a piece of wood!
It was if he was waiting for a particular moment
those by him started retreating
as if an instinct was warning them of a danger
from beneath his raincoat
menacingly brought out a twelve bore shot-gun
hitting a man trying to run!
Pushing customers aside who had not moved
pointed the weapon at the cashier
there were no security glass she faced a gun
aimed directly at her head
somehow keeping calm as he told her to fill
money sacks close to her till!
Grabbed the bags then fled towards the exit
a female accomplice remained
creating a diversion as security went to fire
racing through the sliding door
just as the alarm was raised by the shaken staff
safe let out a triumphant laugh.
Briskly walking to a selected skip opening lid
took out a large hold all
from it removed a jacket put the money in
within seconds proceeded
with a changed image headed to the station
but still had trepidation.
Not wanting to be overconfident it went well
no sign of being followed
meeting his partner in crime and lovely wife
at a prearranged rendezvous
relaxing on the train hoping she was all right
their re-union always a delight.
On arrival at the seaside hotel it was too quiet
she had been compromised
keeping from view saw her waiting nervously
a dark car outside watching
expecting this could happen he called a cab
with the intent his lady to nab!
knowing what to do came slowly out and walked
close to the hotel wall
saw the taxi arrive as she passed the door opened
a hand clutched her arm
and was now with her husband and drove away
to commit a crime another day!
His expression now showed plenty of emotion!
