Chapter 43

Chaco sat in the dead space for the rest of the day. He had a little bit of his sandwich left, but that was it. He thought the bank would never close. He could hear people talking around him and several times moved close to the exterior of the dead space so he could see what was going on. Once he saw someone in line give a second look toward where he was hiding. He quickly stepped back and they turned away. The day dragged on for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, the bank doors closed. After a couple hours the last employees left and he was alone.

Chaco remembered what Franco had said about the cameras and was deeply concerned. Before leaving his hiding place he pulled his shirt over his head from the back hiding his face. His arms were still through the arm holes and it was pretty uncomfortable, but his face was concealed.

Chaco hadn’t wasted his time while hiding all day. He believed that he had discovered all of the hidden cameras. As far as he could tell there wasn’t a camera pointed toward where he was hiding. He crawled out and followed the wall toward the vault.

He hadn’t moved twenty feet when the alarm went off. It wasn’t just any alarm either, Chaco just about jumped out of his shorts it was so loud. He was confused briefly and then hurried back along the wall to his hiding place. He stopped at the desk near his hiding place and pulled on the bottom drawer. It was locked but Chaco effortlessly took a letter opener and pried the drawer open. He had watched the guy eating and drinking all day and Chaco found all sorts of goodies and water in the drawer. Then he heard sirens outside and saw lights near the front door. He grabbed all he could carry and slipped back into the dead space. He didn’t notice that he dropped a bag of cookies.

The front door swung open and several armed policemen came rushing in. Chaco hid further back in the dead space. One of the policemen came over near where he was hiding and saw the cookies on the floor. He looked carefully around the area and examined the slight damage to the bottom drawer of the desk. Another cop came over and looked but they decided it wasn’t anything to be concerned about.

Chaco inched closer to the exterior of the dead space so he could see what was going on. He saw the cookies on the desk and watched the policemen move about the room. He kept looking at those cookies and thinking how good they would taste.

The bank manager showed up at the front door and was let in. He immediately went to a side room and opened the door. Chaco could see a TV screen in there. A couple of policemen and the manager looked like they were replaying the tapes from the last hour.

Chaco couldn’t wait any longer.
