12 September 11

My partner is in the parking lot
with a police radio.
If you hit the alarm, he will know
and start shooting.
I am armed as well.

You have 30 seconds
to give me $100,000 in $100 bills.

You can call the cops
five minutes after I leave.
If you call before then
my partner will know
and start shooting.
Give me this note back.
Your time starts now.
