After weighing his options, Anthony personally dialed the bank's number, but there was a long wait with no answer.
Anthony realized he'd been played, Luke had been right.
"fuck!" Anthony cursed furiously and turned on the intercom, "Luke, there's no answer from inside the bank, I'm preparing to use the battering ram to breach."
"Copy that. We're going to breach the back door as well."
Five minutes later, the FBI and the police breached the doors simultaneously.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Under the continuous battering, it took less than ten seconds to break the door's lock.
And it was these ten seconds that could determine the life or death of the hostages.
"Boom." The back of the bank was breached, and Luke led his team into the bank.
"LAPD!"
"FBI!" At the same time, the FBI also charged into the bank from the front.
Both sides searched from their respective entries.
"Clear!"
"Clear."
"The vault door is open, but there's nobody inside."
"Tied up hostages found in the lobby."
