So, there's this lady - her name is Janice - she is so gorgeous, smart, and fancy. Actually, that's not important. So, in one fine day, she plans to go to somewhere to buy a lunch and pullover to the ATM nearby her workplace by her car. Everything's perfect a long the way to the bistro and the ATM as well. After buy a lunch - tuna sandwich and a diet coke by Pepsi - she goes any faster to ATM  - the time will be up. While she waits for the ATM's queue, she looks a clown - let's say chicken man - because she guesses that behind that costume, there is a guy who dance a chicken dance and perform as he want, with the uplifting music, he dances so simply but silly. Janice is just laughing for a while to look that chicken man. Ten minutes later, it's her turn, she gets in to the ATM and take some money, etc. After that, when Janice finishes and leaves the ATM, the chicken man comes up in front of her. She feels so strange and also confuse. It turns out, that chicken man takes off his costume! Actually, the man wears everything black - black shirt, black jeans, black watch, and black cap which is covers his half face - and with a gun! What a surprise!

Janice screams. She feels insecure. The chicken man - or now we call it The Robber - puts the gun in Janice's forehead. The chicken man which turns out become a robber, basically he tries to rob Janice, maybe because he knows that Janice is rich and already took a lot of money from ATM just now. To cut a long story short, the robber is actually Janice's ex-boyfriend - named Frank - who needs money to pay his own bill. That's why he robs Janice. Why Frank robs Janice? Why don't anybody else? Just simply answer, "You still owes me some money. Get my money back! I need to pay my apartment and my another bill. I need to eat anything else beside hot dog and tap water". Janice is silent and cannot say anything else but give some money. "Thank you", Frank runs but come back again and said, "You're rich but you even don't know how to spend. Idiot!", Frank disappears immediately. Janice is still silent, it's frozen actually.
