'WE ONLY SEE EACH OTHER AT WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS

IN  5... 4... 3... 2,

This is Jim Hellerman, reporting live for Channel 2 News outside of  Capital West Bank at Main and Sixth, A group of heavily armed men stormed the Bank not 3 hours ago and took an unknown no. of hostages.

"Hey, get them behind the counter!" commanded a bald man with a walkie in one hand and a gun in the other to another one of his guys who did what he was told, "now you've put me in a position where I gotta do something I don't want to do" he was talking on his walkie talkie now, "SHIT" he screamed lowering the walkie,

A pre-teen, curly-haired girl walked up casually next to the man, "HEY GET BACK WITH THE OTHER'S" he screamed at her, she seemed unbothered then began,

"I heard a rumor",

 "What? what did you say?" he leaned in closer, 

The girl let out a small smile as if everything was going according to her plan, she placed one hand near her mouth and repeated,

"I heard a rumor that you shot your friend in the foot" the smile not leaving her innocent-looking face, and with that suddenly the guy straightened himself and shot one of his guys.

"We just heard shots from inside the bank. It's uncertain if any hostages have been harmed in that. There's some movement on the roof possibly law enforcement."

Therefrom the roof shattering the glass ceiling jumped in 2 kids a blonde boy and a brown-haired girl with a high ponytail, the boy began smashing the guys head who was behind the counter and threw him out of the window, while the girl took the one who was shot in the foot and threw him on the wall breaking his back and possibly the back of his head, she let out a giggle she enjoyed this, weird for a 12 yr old.

"looks like one of the armed robbers has been thrown out from the bank."

"Guns are for sissies, Real men throw knives," said a small boy as he came running and threw a pair of knives which looked like they were gone hit the man with a walkie but suddenly changed directions and hit another man stuck to a wall, he high-fived the brown-haired girl and moved ahead she took a knife from her back pocket and threw it towards another guy who just showed up behind a dark-haired boy who stood calmly at a corner with white powder on his nose and upper lip,

"Thanks, sissy" he replied with a wave, she giggled as the knife hit the guy in the eye.

"I have been in many hostage situations like these and it can escalate very quickly."

"Get back you freak" finally the man under the spell snapped out of it and climbed the counter, pointing a gun down at the kids,

"Hey be careful up there buddy"

"Get Back Now!"

 "Wouldn't want you to get hurt"

"keep away"

"or what?" suddenly a boy popped up in the same clothes as all of them behind the guy out of thin air making the brown-haired girl giggle again,

the man with the gun started shooting at that spot uncontrollably but it was no use as the boy disappeared and appeared next to the brown-haired girl giving her a tap and then appearing behind the man who was still shooting at an empty spot,
