I identified the target. No one noticed the woman with a stroller. The device in my pocket would disrupt any surveillance cameras, but I still needed a diversion.
Stalling, I cooed to the baby. A panel van heading toward me promised the perfect cover for my heist. Timing was everything. I resumed my walk, activated the disruptor, and counted. The truck and my stroller converged at the package.
With payment confirmed, I dropped the package in the black sedan’s trunk. Safe from prying eyes, I removed my mask, hat, sunglasses, and wig. Since the virus, disguises were so much easier.

Good job! And yes, it feels so strange to go to the bank with a mask on. I do feel like a robber! LOL!

Oh I can see it now. The ancient old man in the high-tech wheelchair telling stories to anyone who will listen… “All you Generation C kids, You don’t know fear. You didn’t live through 2020. BC and AC, Before Covid, After Covid. The world has never been the same.”

Ah, the intrigue! You’re right about the disguises also. I wear an oversized pair of sunglasses and my mask and voila!

When the weather is cooler I add a hoodie to my “look.” Even my friends don’t recognize me. 😎
