High stakes

Date: 11/29/2023

It's like a heist film. My sister said I thought we hired help but they end up holding us hostages. My sister and I crawl under the beds at our grandmother's house and under dirty laundry to hide. They have guns! They have a little girl who is a daughter to one of them. We're wearing costume masks and they suspect the masks are us. We wrestle the guns from them and shoot them. Not to kill but to maim. We take the money from them. Our mother tells us that they're not the help after all but professional hitmen!
