Withdrawal

Todd Mercer

That’s gunfire inside the bank. How many reports are warnings and which are people shot?

I’m idling the car until they come out with our retirement fund. Straight-headed two days, shaking. A minute later there’re sirens approaching. I’m not current on child support or medical bills, but this should solve that.

We have to gtfo soon.

Then more gunfire.

If cops pull up before my guys appear, I’m down the alleys on foot. Ambulatory. Three sirens closing in. A different firearm sounds, so I leave the keys, commence running.

Everyone’s packing. Someone had to be a hero. It’s amateur hour.
