The Steal Within

A Micro-Fiction Story By Birithivy Yogaratnam

The prisoner sat in front of the officer as he relayed the instructions. "If you follow my orders, you will stop this heist from happening," said the prisoner. The officer still felt some doubt about the prisoner's claims. He stopped relaying the instructions and looked at the prisoner and calmly replied, "how do you know what's happening if you're in here?" The prisoner smiled, "look, sir. I've been planning this thing from two years ago. I know every detail and every person involved. If a person flinched or went to the left instead of the right, I would know. Now, listen to me. You must get your men to enter the vault from the alternate entrance. There, you must disengage the bank's security system. You must shut it down at exactly at 8PM and then re-engage it at 8:10PM, as that would cause the people inside to be trapped. Once you got them trapped, then I will tell you everything else you need to know." Over the police radio, the officer heard the other officer on the other end, "sir! The vaults all clear!" The officer jumped from the desk, with the prisoner smiling at him in a sarcastic manner.
