Edgar’s ears twitched curiously with every human that passed below. There were a couple large cars driving by and some people standing a bit too close to the bank, but nothing to be worried about.

His eyes and ears were perfectly equipped for the dull job he was assigned. He was bored. Now about a week since their meeting, he knew he made the right choice in joining the gang. They were young, fragile, clueless, and needed his help. Especially Gary. He was someone who liked to think of himself as the master of his own ideas. But he was wrong. The bat knew a thing or two about that.

His supernormal senses may as well have sprung clean out of his brain. The sudden attack on his organs forced him to the floor in a violent seizure. It felt like a think, sub-zero liquid was chugging its way up his spine. In one of his last moments of consciousness he could tell a threat was coming. But there was no way to warn the gang. As the chemical was halfway through drowning half the surface area of his brain, he passed out.

Patrick and Johnny rushed out the way they entered. They main lounge was still tranquil. But something brought them to a speeding stop.

“Someone sees us!” Patrick nearly dropped the book.

The shadow of a hooded figure projected by lucid street lights flashed in the bank interior. The being the shadow belonged to was standing right outside the front window. Patrick couldn’t make out any of its physical feature, as everything was shrouded by its dark robe. They couldn’t bring themselves to move, even as figure raised its menacing arm, a pistol-like object unmistakably displayed in hand.

“Get down!” Johnny exclaimed as he dove away.

Patrick felt the weight of his friend tumble over him as a bright blue blast broke through the bulletproof glass. The heat of the fired beam penetrated the marble walls behind him. It had flown right by his ear, which he knew was still properly attached to his head because of the piercing shriek of the alarm. Every functioning light woke up, leaving them completely in the light.

In his nearly concussive state, Patrick shoved Johnny off him, but from the much longer hair of the person on top of him, he knew right away it wasn’t him.

“Oh my God, Jane?” Patrick exclaimed with all his still functioning organs. His cousin stared back with a look of relief.

“Good. You’re alright.” she said, pouncing off him. To his dissatisfaction, his good friend Johnny had chosen to dive away from him, thinking primarily of himself. Over in the front, where piles of shattered glass clumped, the ghostly figure had vanished.

Patrick put his astonishment aside, rising to his shaking feet. “We gotta split. The cops will be here any second.”

He could already make out the shape of a blinking car booming well above the speed limit in their direction. In her panic, Jane stole the pistol from Patrick’s grasp and raised it to the lighted ceiling.
