The 8th Hour
Description
10 minutes; the time Alliance Securities said it would take for the police to arrive at HKG Bank located in the heart of the city if the bank teller were to press the silent alarm.
7 million dollars; the estimated net worth of cash and personal belongings stored securely in the bank’s vault located 15 feet underground.
3 months; the time and effort it took for Jinhwan, Teddy, Baek Kyoung, and Danny to plan out every minute detail of their escapade.
4; the number of rules, a Code of Conduct, if you will, designed with the prospects of not only ensuring their success but also attributed to the number one reason why the four friends continually evaded local authorities.
However the thing about plans are – they don’t always go as planned. Which was exactly why instead of what was supposed to be a quick two-hour job, the four men found themselves staring back into the eyes of five innocent bystanders after almost an eight hour long stand-off riddled with one question. How were they going to get out alive?

Foreword
“Shh. It’s okay, you’re going to be okay.” Twenty-eight year old Alex cooed, as she held the security guard in her arms. Who was she kidding? The thirty-five year old had been bleeding steadily for the past three hours, she was surprised he even lasted this long. Yet there she was, sitting on the marble floor of HKG Bank with a complete stranger cradled in her arms, and all she could think about was why she agreed to her boss’ request to make the deposit at the bank for him that day.
“I thought I told you to shut the up?” The masked man growled, pointing the gun straight at her as she cowered down pulling the security guard closer to her. “Unless you want to end up like your buddy right here?”
