Careless
Garbage stared at Tony from the steps. Disgusting. How could people be so careless?
Speaking of carelessness, he should get down there. There were too many eyes around.
“Is this the guy, Larry?”
“Yeah, that’s him.”
“What guy? I didn’t do nothin’,” said the guy.
“I know you didn’t do nothin’. That’s why you’re here ‘cause you did do somethin’.”
“It wasn’t me.”
“We know it was you. We have the transaction record of the money deposited into your account. Who hired you? … What should I cut off first?”
“Larry. It was Larry.”
Tony turned to see Larry’s gun.
When thugs play. Checkmate…

It’s not a good world for one to play in without eyes in the back of one’s head.

So, Tony was careless. Never bring a knife to a gun fight. 🙂

Good title. Smooth dialogue. Oops on Tony. I fear he will be swimming with the fishes soon.

I went through at least three title changes before epiphany struck tying it all together. Thank you. 🐟🐠🐡🦐🪸🐚

Dear Nobbin,
Don’t sound like there was no good guys in this story. Love the voices.
Shalom,

Good guys are overrated. Thank you. I enjoy doing different voices. I’m out of practice. I’m trying to find my voices again.
