The day of the robbery James was hung over. The night before he met with friends. Some he liked a little, one he liked a lot, and a few he didn't know. New friends he thought, and already in the morning he had requests. Everyone interested in his job.
"You work at Sparrows? Damn, I love that place."
"Yeah yeah, its great." James replied.
Realistically, it was nothing James thought, like when he was there, he wasn't doing anything with his life. He felt more like he was paused, frozen He wanted to do more, not like help kids in Africa, but do more than poor rich guys lattes. Although that one dude was fun to talk to, it didn't mean much.
He was thinking all this on the inhale of a cigarette.
He exhaled.
He was prepping now, dicing some cucumber for the sandwiches. Tuna and something else.
He had to get the tomatoes chopped too. Mozzarella and all that.
The door dinged, a regular.
"The usual Pete?"
"Yeah, you know it."
So James did the same thing he did everyday at 8:45am. He made Pete a double latte, because as Pete said a long time ago, its like his favorite drink, but double.

I also don't remember whether we 'killed' pete or not.
