Armed Robbery...

So, yeah. I got back into town on Sunday night after seeing my Dad in Winona. I had to go to a work meeting. We needed to figure out what everybody's schedule was going to be like over the holidays. When I walked in, they asked me if I heard the news.
I guess on Saturday night, the gas station was robbed. Zimmer was working, because I was out of town. He was in the restroom and he saw a shadow walk by the window (its made of those glass blocks). When you see this, you usually have to hurry up since a customer is obiviously coming into the store. Well, he came out to find a guy in a mask. He kinda giggled at first because he thought it was a joke. Then the guy pulled out his pistol and led him back to the office. He cleaned out the safe while his buddy cleaned out the drawer in the front. Zimmer was told to keep his head on the wall, stay on his knees and keep his hands behind his back while he held the pistol to the back of his head.
Needless to say I have been a bit in shock for the last couple days. First of all, the person that did this, knew their shit. They knew our routine. If they knew our routine, they knew that I was supposed to be there. I work that same shift every week. It is probably somebody I have seen in here a million times, and probably somebody I shot the shit with.
I am here at work freezing and paranoid. I don't want to pee, but the cold doesn't help.
