A hypertext tale by Walter Sorrells


"What are you talking about let's forget it?" Teddy was saying after they'd left the bank. "After all the time we spent planning this thing down at CCI?"

"What, you so busy staring at that bank teller's tits you didn't notice they got cameras?"

They were walking out toward the car. It was a beautiful spring day, just the slightest crispness left in the air, so you didn't feel sweaty all day.

"And if they got cameras," Mo went on, "you know they got silent alarms and ultrasonics, all that shit."

Ed Lampier, the biker they'd hooked up with to do the job with them, was waiting out in the car with the guy he wanted them to meet, another biker, a fat guy named Bug Something-or-other.

"So? Think of it this way. It's a one shot job. Even if they run a face book past these rubes, who they gonna show them? I never been arrested for bank robbery, neither have you. We're not natural suspects."

"I don't like it, Teddy. I'm really not happy with this."

"Plus, that fucking bank manager. You catch the suit that guy was wearing? I swear to Christ it glowed in the dark. People like this, they couldn't find their ass with two hands."
