Cassie Adams Foster had her second set of triplets with her at the bank to withdraw money, but the computers were down for some reason. Cassie sighed and was about to leave when two armed and masked men ran in the bank with guns and the bank customers started to scream.
Cassie reacted and hid under a table with Noah, Paul and Leah. "Mama? What's wrong?" the three asked as Cassie put her finger to her mouth. Once she did that, the three remained quiet as the two men began to demand money from the bank tellers and customers.
She held her breathe as she held her babies like a death grip. Leah started to panic as Cassie held her tight. One of the men crouched low and smirked. "What do we have here?" he smirked as he eyed Cassie and the triplets.
Cassie lied through her teeth. "What are you doing under here?" he barked as he waved his gun in all directions. "I want anything of value."
"I didn't bring anything," Cassie lied. "I just came to see my friend to take us to lunch, but she's in a meeting."
"Car? Jewelry? Money?" he asked.
"No," she added. "I came on the bus and my kids' are four and get on for free. I have a bus pass."
"Just great," he added. "Go with the others."
He smirked at Leah. "What a pretty thing you got here. Hi sweetie."
"Leave my babies alone," Cassie added. "They are just four."
He left it at that for the moment and she sighed and quickly made a text and tapped her courtesy shield as she closed her eyes and held her babies close. She knew the station would get her SOS.
She opened the backpack she had and pulled out Noah and Paul's toy cars, trucks and planes and Leah's Barbie doll and My Little Pony's to distract them. It had the desired affect she wanted as they began to play quietly.
As the two men were arguing, Cassie crawled toward a desk and hid under it as her babies followed. "Mama why are we hiding?" the older triplets asked.
"Those two men are not nice," Cassie added. "You three need to listen to mama."
They nodded and went back to playing quietly. Cassie put her phone on mute as it rang, but she did not dare to answer it. She had her babies to protect and they were number one. She was second when it came to her babies, but the thought of her death and leaving her wife to raise their children alone scared her.
Leah began to whimper and Cassie sighed. She put her on her lap and gathered her girl in her arms and began to nurse her. It was this or risk Leah having a panic attack and those men finding her hideout.
As Leah nursed, the boys' took naps and Cassie was grateful until she heard the voice of one of the men. "Where are they?" he asked himself as his partner in crime came over. She cringed and knew he was talking about her and the triplets.
"Where are who?" his partner asked.
"A mom with her three brats," the man who spotted Cassie and her three babies. "I left her here."
"You are delusional," the second man added. "I didn't see a mom and three kids."
"I talked to her," the so called delusional man added. "I swear."
"Just great. Let's look at the feds," his friend told him.
"You can't," a bank teller added scared. "You fired on the system. It's down."
"Oh," the first man added. "But they are here. I know it."
Cassie breathed a sigh of relief in her hiding spot as she laid on the floor as Leah continued to nurse. Noah and Paul were still napping and Leah's eyes began to droop as well. Cassie eyed her daughter as she slept soundly.
