The heist

While Liam is dressed in an all-black outfit complete with hood and mask, you are not worried in the slightest about any cameras maybe recording you as you climb the fire escape up to the roof. From there you walk from skylight to skylight peering down, trying to find the one that leads to your fortune.

You get lucky on the fifth and wave Liam to come over. "Hey, this is the one. you can even see the money from here."

Liam looks down too. "Yeah, but I can also see that there is an alarm system on it. If we open it or break the glass it will go of."

"Sure, but we will be gone before they are here. Now stop waisting time and give me the belt so that I can get strapped in."

"What belt?"

"What do you mean 'What belt'? The climbing belt for me to wear."

"Umm..." Liam hesitates.

"You haven’t bought one, have you?", you facepalm when you see his expression. You groan in frustration. "That’s not going to stop me. It will be uncomfortable as hell, but we are simply going to wrap the robe around my hips. It’s just for a moment anyways."

Liam apologizes again while you are circling the rope a few times around you and tie it off with a knot. "Okay, I think it’s showtime." The two of you nod at each other, Liam grabs the rope tightly, and you pick up a brick laying around. In one swift motion you lift it over your head and smack it against the glass. It shatters immediately but at the same time an ear-piercing alarm goes off. Not wasting a second, you climb over the edge and allow the rope to hold your weight. Liam groans a bit but then lowers you carefully towards the money.

As you drop lower and lower you can hear the guards running around in the building searching for the intruder. Silently you applaud yourself for your genius plan. Then the money is already in reach. You grab the thick wads of cash and stuff them in your duffle bag. Just seconds later the bag is full and you signal Liam to pull you back up. Damn, robbing a bank is really easy, you think. Slowly you get lifted out of the room and into safety. Very slowly. Increasingly slow. Liam must be struggling with your weight. Hanging on the rope, clutching the money tightly you are growing nervous.
