At this point, Billy didn’t care about the alarm signaling in the local bank.  He had already smashed through the doors and unlocked the mammoth sized safe where all the money was stored.  He planned on obtaining as much as he could fit in his larger than life sack he purchased at the dollar store a week ago.  He had furthermore bought a ski mask and a crowbar but forgot the mask at his house so he resorted to using a paper bag he found on the street.  He just had to punch two holes in it so he could see.

The only real reason he planned on robbing the bank on this otherwise normal Sunday night, was so he could help his Grandma pay for her new house.  She bought the house with hardly any money thinking she could luckily win the lottery or something.  But by the time the original owners realized the problem, they had already started hauling everything away, ready to move into the house they planned on buying once they got the money from his Grandma.  In two days, the deadline for the money came and Billy really didn’t want to bring this problem to court.

Billy just felt so bad for his poor old Grandma that he assured her he’d get her some money before time ran out.  Of course he didn't tell her how he’d actually get the money.  That would make her even more upset.

 He also willed to do it because he had done it once before to get into college and the cops never found him.  So he figured he should burglarize the same bank he did last time.  He already knew all the lock combinations.  He just had to get in and out quick.
           
 And now he sat here, halfway done stuffing his sack full of hundred dollar bills all the way to the limit.  The price tag desired at least 250,000 dollars.  But that also included the little money his grandma did have so he knew he’d have enough.
            
Once he stuffed the sack to the limit, Billy shut the safe, relocked it, and left.  He didn’t have a real set plan once he exited the bank. He figured the cops would be after him so he thought he'd just outrun them.  And after he slipped out of the money room, his expectations proved correct.  Four cops ran into the fairly large building starting their search for any missing things.  There was a front desk directly across from him where one of the cops was searching.  Two others were back in the offices searching thoroughly.  On the far side there was another cop creeping slowly towards him.  He was youthful and looked a bit nervous.  He decided he’d take the route on the far side to the door.  It turns out he took the right path because when the cop glanced up to see him, he just sat there in fright.  He let out a small squeal as Billy’s crowbar came across his head.
            
But as faint as the scream was, it alerted the nearest cop just enough so that he could signal to his fellow cops to chase after the thief out the door.  Billy just scrambled wildly around the streets for a while until the cops spotted him with the bright headlights from their cars.  They had him surrounded.
            
He backed up to the building behind him when an idea caught his mind.  As the cops got out of their cars and slowly started to creep towards him ready at any moment to pull their pistols and shoot, he glanced past them towards the big lake where two canoes sat docked on the public beach.  He let the cops get closer to him as he waited for his moment.  Once they stepped into close enough range for Billy to react, he quickly flung the concealed crowbar at the middle cop.  The officer hit the ground instantly.  

He then made a dash for the lake as the remaining two cops tore after him shooting wildly and missing until they ran out of bullets.  Billy ran as fast as he possibly could.  He hadn’t run this fast since his high school days when he ran track.  He didn’t know he was capable of still running like this.  Suddenly, Billy felt a pull at the back of his leg and it started to hurt badly.  He got a bad feeling that he might have pulled his hamstring.  But there was no way he was going to let this get him caught and he pushed himself through the pain.

When he got to the lake, Billy hastily untied both canoes from the dock.  He got in one of them and pushed the other one out as far as he could.  He started to propel himself forward with the paddle.

Meanwhile, the cops disputed over who should go into the other canoe and pursue the thief.  The older of the two ended up taking charge by pushing his fellow officer into the lake and jumping in to swim after the wandering canoe.

Once he got in, he started paddling furiously after his target.  Being a strong police officer gave him the advantage so he started to gain on his enemy.

Billy also sensed this and needed a plan to send the last cop off course.  He had already lost his crowbar and he could feel the fatigue flooding through him.  He had to think quickly.  His remaining supplies consisted of the long paddle and a glow stick that he found on the seat when he got in.  He set it in the cup holder for now as he thought up his plan.

Billy started to slow down so he could let the cop get in closer range for his plan to work.  Once he got closer, the cop reached for his pistol and fired.

Click!

It was out of bullets.  This split second gave Billy time to make his move.  He lobbed the glow stick into the air, just to the right of the cop.  Once he had all attention diverted to the glow stick, he swung the paddle in a high arc down on the top of the last police officer’s head.  He slowly fell backwards into the canoe with a thud.

With a huge sigh of relief Billy paddled back to shore when that searing pain came back to him reminding him of his injured leg.  He gave himself a mental note not to do too much moving around once he got back home to his warm bed.  After a good sleep he would pick up his grandma and take her to her new home.
