Armed and Dangerous
We were robbed again tonight. Monday was a note passer, yesterday was masked robbers that were scared off, but tonight we got the full blown takeover. The other days this week, I was present but removed from the action. Tonight I had a gun in my face. Tonight it was me trying to explain to the crazy guys who broke in about our timelocks. Tonight it was me emptying what cash was accessible into their bags. Tonight is was me that was threatened with being "made an example" of. Tonight it was me filling out suspect description forms, witness statements and being examined by EMS. During the actual incident, I went thru moments of complete disbelief... it was almost like a joke. Then I wondered if this was it, if I was going to ever see my husband or my daughter again. If my life was going to end on a bank floor. I don't even know if the guns were real, but when they are against your head, and there is a supposed "bomb" in the building, a million things go through your mind. It was the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me, but I learnt that I do not get hysterical under extreme stress, and that all my training came flooding back. It felt like a dream sequence, and I still cannot really believe it happened. But I am shookup and nothing more, and for that I am extremely grateful.
