Suspense Crime

Who knew I would be standing beside my two childhood friends waiting to see if our case was suited for the death penalty. How did I get here? Shaky palms and wet eyes as I gaze at Jays and Justin's face. Three overnight billionaires now seeing the possibility of dying this was the ultimate headline and hardest pill to swallow especially when you orchestrated one of the biggest robberies in the world in one hour and 20 seconds. Since I won't be getting out anytime time soon I'll give you the blueprint. Jay was one of the smartest people I knew in the city of Atlanta he understood six languages and could solve almost any equation. Justin from Texas was the opposite he was very street-savvy he could break into anything with top-notch security. Then there was me Jazmin pretty face and over 20 personalities I could access in a millisecond to conquer any situation. Here I was pushing 28 years old and obsessed with getting large amounts of money with little to no work. The thing about an obsession is no matter how much you get it's never enough and that could be my guilty pleasure. -texts group chat- Hey guys when are you coming to visit our old stomping grounds in New York City! *JAy* Sounds like someone misses us *Justin* I would love to visit you, queen. The coolest thing about being several people is you can utterly intrigue and be wanted by anyone and that was my power over these two they were each madly in love with me. -texts- Awesome Italian or Indian for dinner? in sync they both text the opposite they were both challenging each other and it was almost like a game my other personality was able to analyze this. I smile at my phone satisfied. My week was booked filled with attending the New York Fashion Shows, Spa treatments, Gucci and Prada shopping, and dinner at the finest bistro in Manhattan. The cost you may wonder a total of 80,000 dollars. My house is located in Queens with a lovely view. tonight is the night I will see my favorite boys my dress alone was 20,000 it was red this color attracts the eye of 80% of men with a plunging neckline and red bottoms. As I apply my MAC lipgloss I hear whispers. Grabbing my gun I enter the living room ready for anything that would come out to get me maybe it was the police ready to take me down finally for all the years of stealing. Drinking a glass of my Italy imported wine was Justin. I breathe in relief you still don't knock. Justin replies I never needed to. glancing to my right Jay was already unlocking my computer. You need a strong password Jazmine it only took me 50 seconds this time. We each hug each other Jay was more sensitive and loving but Justin had bad-boy energy and was labeled as a protector they both smelled so good. I get the food out. what are we having? Justin asks but doesn't take a glance at me it's on Jay. Chinese food they all look surprised. shoveling rice in my mouth I'm calculating a suitable time to reveal the blueprint. Jazmine your very quiet during this meet up do tell us what we can do to make you feel pleased Jay gazes at me. I look down this was some sort of acting a ballet of pretending to be the damsel in distress. You see I love you guys all so much and I was thinking tonight should be the night we all three retire. Hell yeah, Justin shook his head but Jay looks more concerned about what was I really tryna say. Listen I did some searching around and I found 4 access codes to 4 banks and why not take just enough to become billionaires and with your smarts and skill boys I need your help I look away. That sounds crazy Jay shakes his head in disbelief I think to myself I knew they would think I'm a complete wacko then Justin looks with his piercing green eyes "that is literally the hottest thing I ever heard come out your mouth "kissing my hand. I look up smirking Jay of course grew jealous of the thought that we both were in agreeance. Ok, I'm in what do you need me to do? Pulling up each bank's homepage and feeding the access codes we all look anxious drinking wine. I had faith that he could do it 30min of typing and hand tapping. We finally hear a yes from Jay's mouth I instantly kiss his forehead watching him drain the money to our accounts. Suddenly my lights flicker and the power completely goes out. Could it be my old power box let me try to restart it looking outside the window I suddenly see all the city lights were completely blown out. What's wrong Jazmine? Boys we have a problem I look in horror the nightlife turned into a complete blackout. It couldn't be I start shaking Justin said don't worry it will be fine comforting me with a hug as I tremble in his arms. Jay reassures me that he put an anonymous wall up so the information could never be traced to this location and if so the information will be self-deleted by the time they gain access. I gather blankets the boys sleep in the living room and I lay in my satin sheets hearing yelling, gunshots, and car crashes. I couldn't believe our plan worked but how did it completely turn everything black my phone doesn't even work. The next morning arrives I hear the shower going. The power is restored but I wonder what's on the news could we be responsible for the total city going into complete darkness or is this just my anxiety-filled personality taking over. Flicking the channel I drop the remote and I gasped at what I saw. "Hello this is channel 68 and we are reporting live here at NYPD investigators say this has been the biggest distraction known to history. While the city was completely out of power 3 billion dollars is missing and drained from multiple accounts" My worst nightmare was true. Justin turns off and unplugs the tv "no time to rethink this " Jay hands me my red suitcase he knew that it was only for emergency getaways. We hid out in the Marriot hotel until nightfall that's when Justin disarmed all banking cameras and withdrew all our money then broke the machines. Everything seemed perfect We all lived so beautiful for the next couple of months lavished lives I face timed Justin he now lived in Costa Rica and loved chasing the women he called me a genius and said I had more balls than Jay. Jay lived in Paris he decided to donate to several organizations and here I was in Hawaii. Finally, my obsession is fed forever I decide to do a group call and we all laugh and talk when I hear loud kicks NYPD kicked all three of our doors in while on facetime. Justin wants to run but we shook our head no and bowed as the police handcuffed and put us in cells. And here I am on the stand crying. The Judge looks at me as I cry and point they made me do it. I had already prepared prewritten messages that looked like they forced me to do it my top attorney guy friend help set up everything. Take them away the Judge yells Justin and Jay drop to their knees yelling and cursing at me as I walk out with my attorney boyfriend. Reporters and photographers rush to take pictures I slide on my Gucci shades and enter the limo. And the rest of the money was in a safe place. Maybe this was my personality the whole time as I laugh the light fades out like my cities darkness.
