Bank Robbery

Seven men armed with assault rifles swarmed through the bank door in different colored masks.

(Red) "THIS IS A ROBBERY!! PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND KEEP THEM WERE I CAN SEE THEM!! I REPEAT THIS IS A ROBBERY!"

(Blue) "If everybody complies with our demands no one needs to get hurt, so do yourself a favor and follow what we say."

While Red and Blue were being vocal in the front of the bank, the other five robbers were moving throughout the bank like a trained swat team gathering up all the people that weren't in the central room.

They gathered all the people in the bank, about Thirty-eight people, into the lobby before sitting them around in an inward facing circle.

Drystan just complied as he thought that it would be difficult to subdue all seven men without collateral damages.

Then the robbers made an odd demand.

(Red) "Now undress."

Everybody just looked around confused until Red got mad and hit a man with the butt of his gun and yelled "UNDRESS!!! Now."

After that people started to take of their clothes.

(Blue) You can keep your undergarments on. We only need the rest off."

After a couple seconds of rustling everybody was sitting in the same circle with a pile of clothes in middle.

Drystan felt some eyes wandering around his figure as the robbers became wary of him and everyone else was just amazed.

Their gazes didn't last to long though as everyone in the bank had more pressing concerns at the moment.

After they were all undressed, Black walked over to a bank employee and whispered something in her ear while pushing his gun into her back.

The lady nodded frantically and got up before being led into the back of the bank by four of the robbers, no doubt to open the vault.

While all this was going on Drystan was looking around discreetly trying to figure out the robbers motives.

Best case scenario is that the robbers are purely after money and had them undress as a safety precaution against any possible hidden weapons.

In this case as long no one resists and they get the money, they will flee and everyone will be fine.

Worst case is that one or more of the robbers is sadistic and enjoys the feeling of control he gets when making these people squirm, making them feel exposed and afraid.

If that's the case then a lot of people will get hurt before this is all over.

Seeing how organized these guys are Drystan thought that it was much more likely that this was purely business and not pleasure though.

So he was just going to comply like every other victim here unless things start getting violent.

After a couple minutes the robbers came back with bags full of money on their shoulders.

Seeing his men return Red got into action.

(Red) "Everybody up! Keep your hands in the air and walk slowly after this lady in front of you. "

He motioned towards the lady that had just returned from the vault they then led everybody into the vault before locking them in it.

The moment they were locked in the safe and no longer under the threat of gunfire people started breaking down.

"We're all gonna die!" A woman yelled while crying hysterically.

Other people were similarly breaking down and panicking.

Large amounts of panic in a group of naked and enclosed people would only lead to bad things so Drystan stepped up to try to calm everyone down.

Stepping into the center of the vault Drystan raised his voice and said "Everybody calm down! No one is going to die. We are all going to be fine."

"How could you possibly know that!" The same hysterical woman yelled at him.

"My name is Drystan Doyle, I work with the police."

"Robbers as organized as these ones typically don't kill as they are following a plan and don't want to deviate from said plan. So as long as everybody complies with their demands and doesn't antagonize them you will most likely be left alone."

"Most Likely?! So they might just kill us anyways!?" the lady's panic intensified regardless of Drystans explanations.

"Now that they have the money and have locked us in the vault, the perpetrators will in all likelihood make their escape.

"So unless police is already outside the building trapping them in then all we have to do is wait for someone to open the vault doors."

"Then why lock us in the vault in the first place?" a man asked.

"That was none of us can call the police or notify anyone about the robbery."

"The robbery took less than ten minutes, the robbers controlled the scene very carefully and didn't fire a single shot throughout the time of the robbery."

"In all honesty, its quite possible that nobody even knew that the bank was being robbed and until someone realizes it we should all just be calm and sit tight."

Everyone hearing him speak started to relax and calm a little as they heard someone explain to them logically why they wouldn't be shot.

After about half an hour of waiting someone final opened the vault door for them and was greeted with the sight of thirty-eight near naked men and women.

The police seeing Drystan was part of the group came to question him first as they were very familiar with him.

"Alright Drystan, what are we dealing with..."
