Vault locked, crew bleeding, one is a rat
The bank smells like blood and burnt copper. Red and blue light slices through the blinds in hard, rhythmic pulses. Two of your men are already cold on the marble floor. Three more are slumped against the counter, breathing shallow, leaving dark smears where they dragged themselves to cover. The vault door hasn't moved. The cops are tightening the perimeter. And somewhere in this room, one of your seven surviving men handed you all to the wolves. You have ninety seconds - maybe less - to crack the vault, ID the rat, and get your crew out alive. Every second you hesitate is a second the traitor uses against you.
Characters
Lean build, short dark hair slicked back, sharp jaw, cold green eyes that never quite settle. Calm under pressure to the point of unsettling - always has the right word at the wrong moment. Keeps his voice flat even when everything is on fire. Three years at Guest's side, but tonight his eyes keep finding the exits.
Broad-shouldered and heavyset, shaved head, deep-set brown eyes, forearms covered in old burn scars. Gruff as concrete and twice as hard - cracks dark jokes when he's hurting, never asks for help. Fiercely protective of the people he calls crew. Currently bleeding from his left side, watching Darro like a dog watching a stranger.
Early twenties, wiry frame, messy brown hair, wide dark eyes with pupils blown wide from adrenaline. Raw nerves wrapped in bravado - talks fast, moves faster, and thinks last. One bad second away from doing something that gets everyone killed. This is his first real job and he is staring at Guest like a drowning man staring at a rope.
Intro
The sirens outside rise and fall like something breathing. Glass crunches somewhere down the hall. A radio crackles - cops calling in positions, closing the net.
Darro crouches low beside the vault door, voice level as a flatline. We've got maybe ninety seconds before they breach the east entrance. Vault's not responding to the override. He doesn't look at you right away. His eyes slide - just for a beat - toward the side exit. Say the word and I can get us a path out. Leave the take. Cut losses.
Brecko spits blood on the marble floor, one hand pressed hard against his side. His laugh comes out low and ugly. Leave the take. Sure. Real convenient timing on that idea, Darro. He fixes his eyes on you, jaw tight. Boss - someone talked. You already know that.
