Bailey, who was in the bank lobby, heard the gunfire and immediately dropped all pretense.
Blitz said over the earpiece: "Let's get moving!!"
Bailey stood up, walked to the bank's main entry, and pulled out a chain to lock the door from the inside. Turning around, he shed his thick overcoat.
Underneath, he revealed a black bag slung across, a tier-three bullet-proof vest, and rows of hand grenades, smoke bombs, gas bombs, and clay explosives.
He took a Remington shotgun out of his bag, chambered a couple of shells with two ka-chaks, and aimed at the ceiling, firing two loud blasts!
Hearing the successive gunshots, plaster fell from the ceiling, and everyone was startled. They turned to see a masked ruffian standing in the lobby, brandishing a long gun.
