I got up to close the blinds and a car was pulling in. I thought it was my dad's car, it looked the same but had a scratch I had never seen before.
I heard the creaking of the front door. I shouted “Hi Dad!”
But it wasn’t Dad it was two men with a bag they ran of to get stuff like shining golden rings. I had a look it was a miracle, it was beautiful, amazing, I couldn't describe it. I got the bag and said to my brothers, “Come on let's go!”
They were both shocked. But they could still get up and running I got the bag and ran. The car was bad and nearly broken, but it stilled worked. I looked for the keys, they were in the car I started driving. I didn't know how to drive, but I pressed the throttle “Rrrrrrr!” The engine went the wheels were skidding I could hear the rubber thrusting against the ground. The robbers heard the car so they ran out, but we were all ready gone.We got to a parking lot we stopped. My brothers did not know what was happening, all they knew was that there was robbers in our home and that I had a bag of money they asked for ten dollars but, I said no because I was looking for a sign that said the bank robbery or something like that, then I got my splendid phone and the robbers were from out of town they had robbed the Bendigo Bank in Bendigo of course.
So I said to my brothers, “Wanna come to Bendigo?”
So off to Bendigo we went, we were having a brothers road trip, we stopped for lunch we went to the most fancy restaurant we could find it cost about $500!!
For three people, adding all the junk that's $700 for three so we went to the Bendigo Bank in Bendigo we gave back the money and we got 50% of the money we were so happy until I got the text, that my mum died. In a car crash.
