This piece of flash fiction continues the piece called Mike’s assignment.

As the restaurant closed, two men one shorter than the other wearing all black and holding pistols appeared behind the waitress. The shorter man shot her once in the head. The taller man pulled Ashley from the seat by her hair.
He placed the gun to her temple.” Where’s Mike”?
“At work, he’s not here.”
He pressed the gun into her temple. “Lie to me again and die.”
“Bathroom.”
The shorter man pointed the gun at Mike’s head. “Where’s the drive”?
“Mailed it.”
He placed a cell on the sink. “You have twenty-four hours to deliver it or she dies.”
Dear Cole,
The waitress bought it. A messy punctuation mark to a fine piece.
Aloha,
Doug
Messy punctuation nice way to put it.
Was the waitress shot? Slightly confused.
Yes the waitress was killed.
Oh my…horrible turn of events. Unfortunate way to go. Well done.
Waitress was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Went back and reread Mike’s Assignment. Great continuation.
Thanks
Oh my, this was intense!
Thanks glad you liked it.
Dear Cole,
Poor waitress. Intense piece. Well done.
shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Cole, I wouldn’t want to be in Ashley’s place. Those guys mean business. I hope it works out okay somehow. Good story with the right tension. Well written. 🙂 —Susan
Thanks Susan, I may continue this on future Friday posts.
