THE BANK ROBBER,THE MANAGER,THE SECURITY GUARD,THE KID,THE FILM PRODUCER,THE PRIEST,THE RECEPTIONIST,THE PATIENT,THE CARE GIVER, and ME. Turns out, more than one person planned to rob the bank today. You can steal more from a bank than just money.
Who is stealing what? Are they willing to kill for it? And can I solve the crime before the police kick down the door and rescue us?
