				Friday afternoons always held an air of expectancy.&nbsp; The weekend was almost here, plans for the two days had been made, and those who worked in the Imberville branch of 'Countryside Bank' were counting down the last couple of hours until they could lock the door, count the money in the two cashier drawers, lock the safe and then head home.&nbsp; Christa Donnelly, the branch Manager, had seen the last of her appointments, the time was now 15.06, just under 2 hours until they closed and locked the door.&nbsp; 5pm on Fridays the door was locked until 9am Monday.<br><br>Today there was a problem though.&nbsp; A new alarm system had been installed over the past couple of days, it had gone well until this morning when red lights had flashed when Christa had turned it off.&nbsp; She had called the alarm company, but they couldn't get anyone out until Monday.&nbsp; The bank would be unprotected over the weekend.&nbsp; To make it worse one of the local farmers had came in this morning and deposited almost $200 000.&nbsp; Christa had tried to get him to take it to Carson City, the nearest large city, but he hadn't wanted too.&nbsp; So she had no excuse. She had to accept his money.<br><br>There was just over 1 million dollars in the vault now.&nbsp; The security company's truck hadn't made its usual call, it had broken down and the pick up had been rescheduled to today. It was due any time, giving her even more anxiety.&nbsp; Fridays were usual easy and relaxed but not today.&nbsp; Christa, the bank's receptionist and Christa's PA, Angelica and Kelly, the cashier, were watching the time.&nbsp; Christa looked after her girls, they were friends as well as employees.&nbsp; She was almost like a mother hen to them, she knew they had plans, and usually she let them go early Friday's, but she couldn't today, not until the security company came to take the cash and stock bonds that were in the vault.&nbsp; <br><br>"Kelly, can you start closing down my till.&nbsp; I need to ring the regional head office and find out if they have heard anymore from Safefeel Alarms." She said to the younger woman, "Angelica, can you just contact Monday mornings appointments and rebook them.&nbsp; If the alarm engineer doesn't come today we'll have to clear Monday morning for him" she knew she would need to be clear to oversee the repairs.&nbsp; <br><br>Now it was a matter of waiting, and hoping the alarm engineer would turn up.&nbsp; Christa knew the policy on this, if the alarm wasn't fixed she would be required to check on the premises every few hours, and inform the Sheriff.&nbsp; And in a small town like Imberville there was only a handful of officers.&nbsp; It was going to be an unpleasant weekend if that engineer didnt get to them.&nbsp; At least for Christa it would.<br><br>

				Kelly was jsut serving the last customer in her queue, there was always a couple of straglers but nothing particularly noteworthy, her skirt kept tidy and out of sight under the desk, with a simple work blouse and a jacket with the banks logo and her name clipped just above the breast. It was a long day and she was looking forward to getting home for the evening and just spend the time reading a new book she bought. Until she hears what she had been waiting for, now it was time to start cashing up the till's, "Sue, I'll get right on that" She smiled, the familiarity she had with her boss overcame a large ammount of her innate shyness towards others. She moved to her till and started to sort through the money preparing to close it down.

				<em>Tick....tock....tick....tock....</em> the seconds passed one by one as Angelica or Angel like she was called was looking at the clock. Her eyes drifted away to see the woman, her boss gave her a order. Forcing a smile she took a deep breath and nodded taking the phone and then looking for the list of numbers in the computer and starting to dial the numbers of the list for Monday morning. Each one of them gave her a excuse why it 'needed' to be on Monday but she quickly gave the word back and managed to changed their minds, if there was something she was good at was convincing people of stuff. <br><br>She got through with the first call and made the changes on the computer for the next day. Taking a sip of the water she had besides her she grabbed the phone again and dialed another number and waited for the ring to pass, "Good day, I am Angelica de los Santos calling from Countryside Bank. Your appointment was delayed a bit due to some renovations on the bank and it will be placed on Tuesday afternoon, I hope you have a nice evening". She hummed taking another number and continuing to do the job that was offered, over ten people were appointed for Monday which would make the task of at least a good half hour before she could finish.

				<strong>Friday 9:00 am -</strong> <em>The Recruiter Begins his Search</em><br><br>Hector "Diablo" Ramirez, couldn't believe the luck... it was like Christmas again, or well it could be.&nbsp; The security company, that took care of the armored truck service for Countryside Bank had evidently not made its usual pick up schedule for the week.<br><br>Hector had considered putting together a crew to rob Countryside Bank before, as it was located in a small town with a police department of little or no concern.&nbsp; But the "score", even though the branch was part of a larger bank, and had several customers, even some who came from a few surrounding communities; the score on an average day just had never seemed worth the trouble.<br><br>But still, he had always kept watch on the bank and had kept tabs of the security company's time schedule for pick ups and drop off.&nbsp; So when, they had missed this week's pick up on Wednesday; Hector had watched the bank even closer.<br><br>And here it was Friday.... the security company would have to be back today, the bank manager is probably chomping at the bit by now he thought to himself.&nbsp; Weekend pick ups attract too much attention, especially in small towns.&nbsp; So Hector had less than five hours to get a crew together, to take this bank down.&nbsp; By 9:30 am, Hector's associates were getting word out on the street, that there was the immediate need for certain people with the right skills.

				The time was ticking down, the two girls out front were doing the final closing checks, leaving Christa time to go over the final amounts that they had to be collected.&nbsp; There was a large amount in the vault, larger than they usually would have.&nbsp; Christa was worried, if the truck didnt come tonight, she would have to leave a large sum of money in the safe with no alarm.&nbsp; Not something Christa wanted to do.<br><br>Ringing the truck company she was told the truck was on route, it would be with them in the next hour or so.&nbsp; She glanced at her watch, it was almost 5 now.&nbsp; Getting up and walking through to the main room she glanced at the two women.<br><br>"The truck is on the way, just rung dispatch and they said it would be here in the next hour.&nbsp; You ok to hang on, I'll pay you guys over time, just need to get the money away before we close up for the weekend." She asked Kelly and Angel, hoping they would stay, "we can order in piza if you like. On me of course."
