Chapter 1
The Mystery Gentleman
On a cold, morning in Edinburgh, there was a taxi driver who was having a normal day. He had a huge moustache and a full head of hair, which he covered with a dusty old hat that he wears every day. That normal morning, he picked up a handsome gentleman. He was tall, smart and wearing a suit and tie. The taxi man said “where to?” To which the gentleman replied, “The Bank”.
On this normal cold Edinburgh morning, the taxi man was driving to the bank, just a normal day, just a normal passenger… Then suddenly the man whispered to him “will you help me?”
The taxi man was intrigued and said “ye..yes with what, sir?” the man then replied confidently, “help me to rob a bank.” The taxi man was very confused, why would HE be needed to help rob a bank? The taxi driver replied nervously, “how? … Why me?” The gentleman grinned, “I just need you to stay in the car and look after my coffee… It’s very important, do you think you can do it?” “Wait here and take care of your coffee? I’m sure I can do that easily.”
The taxi driver, overwhelmed with curiosity agreed to this bizarre request, as he wasn’t really sure if the passenger was being serious or not.
They pulled up to the bank.

The well-dressed gentleman casually stepped out of the car onto the pavement still smiling to himself!
He walked through the revolving doors, which led into the entrance hall of the bank. His black patent shoes slid on the shiny marble floor. The walls were covered with valuable portraits of previous managers and executives. It was morning and the bank was already full of customers wishing to complete transactions and withdraw money. There were queues of frustrated rich people glancing at their watches wondering just how much longer they would have to wait before they were seen.
Meanwhile, the taxi driver was growing more impatient by the minute, wondering exactly when his customer was going to return! He surely couldn’t really be contemplating robbing a bank?? He immediately put that ridiculous thought out of his mind!
Finally, the gentleman was greeted by Mr Evans, the branch manager. “Delighted to meet you!” said the gentleman as he firmly shook his hand. “I would like to enquire about the possibility of keeping some personal valuable items in the bank vault.”

Chapter 2
As they both entered the vaults, they noticed that there were a lot of security guards standing around. Then, suddenly the manager said 'oh sorry, I have to go to the bathroom and I'll be back in ten minutes.' After he left, the gentlemen returned to the taxi, retrieved his mysterious coffee and ran back to the vaults.
The well-dressed gentleman was running so fast that he had to stop and take a sip of his coffee, which instantly made him invisible. The idea behind this, was that the guards wouldn't be able to see him. The gentlemen barged back into the bank, knocking over several customers! The customers were clueless as to what was going on and questioned the scene.
As soon as he could, he grabbed some emeralds from inside the vaults and sprinted back to the taxi. Even though he was invisible, the security alarm started to alert the guards. Eventually, the guards arrived at the scene, however; there was no trace of anybody....
