The Thief Who Loved Me (A Script) - Story In Progress by Evaress(op): 5:55am On Aug 30*

ACT 1
(BANK ROBBERY)

Scene 1: Union Bank, Lagos

Interior - DAY. The bank is busy. Tellers are serving customers. The atmosphere is calm. Suddenly, the glass doors slam open. 2 masked robbers in black tactical outfits storm in with guns. Outside, 3 more robbers take down the security guards.

ROBBER 1: (female, shouting)
DOWN! EVERYBODY ON THE FLOOR NOW! NOBODY MOVE!

Screams. Customers and staff drop to the ground in panic.

ROBBER 2: (male)
We don’t want to kill anyone. Cooperate, and everyone walks out alive.

ROBBER 1:
Where’s the cashier?

The CASHIER stands up slowly, hands shaking.

CASHIER:
P-please... don’t hurt us. I’ll show you where the money is.

ROBBER 2:
Smart girl. Lead the way. Everything. Don’t miss a dime.

Robber 2 follows the cashier upstairs with a gun to her back. They enter the ACCOUNTANT'S OFFICE.

The ACCOUNTANT is working at his desk, unaware. He looks up, shocked.

ACCOUNTANT:
What... what do you want?

ROBBER 2:
The vault. Open it. All of it.

The Accountant, trembling, opens the vault. He stuffs cash into duffel bags. He also grabs customers’ bags and briefcases from the office and hands everything over.

ROBBER 2: (grinning, checking the bags)
Perfect. You two, carry these. Downstairs. And try anything stupid, I put a bullet in your head.

They walk back downstairs, carrying the bags.

ROBBER 2: (to Robber 1)
We’re good. Let’s move before police show up.

ROBBER 1:
Go.

The robbers grab the money bags, customer phones, and handbags. They rush outside to the waiting SUV and entered. The 3 robbers outside jump in too. The driver peels out immediately.

Inside the bank: silence, then crying.

WOMAN 1: (sobbing)
They took my iPhone 15 Pro Max... my boyfriend just got it for me.

MAN 1:
We’re alive. That’s what matters.

Police sirens. A police van skids into the compound.

SECURITY 1:
Too late. They’re gone.

POLICE OFFICER 1:
Shit. Seal the area. We’re starting an investigation now.

Officers enter. The place is a mess.

ACCOUNTANT: (breaking down)
They took everything. All the bank’s cash. What do I tell management?

POLICE OFFICER 2:
Did you see their faces?

ACCOUNTANT:
No. They were masked. All of them.

POLICE OFFICER 2:
Everyone comes with us to the station for statements. It’s the only way we can trace them.

ACCOUNTANT:
Understood, officer.

POLICE OFFICER 1:
Stay calm. We’ll find them. And we’ll make sure you get compensated for your losses.

Lights fade out as officers begin taking statements.
