Run for the Money (2016)
“Scratch that. First thing was to call Emma. No doubt she’d heard about it on the news by now. At the far end of a mini mall parking lot he saw a pay phone, a species as rare as a snow leopard these days. Slick walked to the silver box bolted to a telephone pole like a lamprey on a shark. No phone. Just a silver shell, an archeological artifact of a world before cell phones.
In the strip mall, a donut shop caught his eye. Slick headed there.
“Two glazed and a coffee,” Slick said to the skinny ki...d working the counter. He held a wire mesh bin of newly opened donuts, made two states over and shipped there wrapped in plastic and still offered as “fresh.” There were no other customers. Slick drew the gun, “And whatever you got in the register.”
The skinny kid dropped the donuts. He froze. Fuzzy images of a long forgotten training manual flashed in his head.
“Today fucko.” Slick gestured to the cash register with the gun. The kid stepped forward. “Wait.” Like a kindergarten game of red light / green light the kid stopped on command.MoreLess
