The first shot wasn't meant to be perfect. The goal was to get the ball rolling. "Don't even think about the view count," Sydney had said.

slow conversation between two men
as reply to Up to Here
On that boardwalk the two spoke for less than half hour's time. To Dave it felt like a long conversation, Not in a bad way.

slowed down. He paid attention. Listened. there were no goals. Just two men exchanging words while the ocean exchanged force against the coastline.

an old man looking out to the sea
as reply to Would Listen
He walked to The Boardwalk. It was only two football fields away. Cars whizzed by. He kept his hat on his head with one hand. He could use a damn smoke.
At The Boardwalk he bought a bag of salt and vinegar chips and a seltzer water in glass bottle. He...

could use a smoke
as reply to No Worries Man
He always wore aΒ
bulletproof
vest. It was a promise he had made his wife. No matter what he had it under his shirt. One of those thin light ones that weren't so obvious. It wouldn't protect him from getting shot in the head. But usually it was the body...

where could dave be?
as reply to Some Rest
Carl was worried for his boss. Dave the Big Dog had never shown up to work late in his two years there. Now it was eleven. No message or whereabouts known.
"What do you think we should do?"
"Shush. Let me think, James."
Only the two of them knew that Dave hadn't come...

maybe i should just go home
as reply to Drove West
Three months passed. No luck in finding the purse. Dave was getting worried. He'd never been this far behind. The client was unhappy. He had no leads. They were looking in the dark. He didn't even think there was a chance anymore. All the previous leads had gone cold and...

the british couple
as reply to So Happy
They spoke in English accents.
There might be a bug he said.
They had to throw them off. Anyway they could.
At theΒ McDonalds they still spoke with the accents. Just in case the bug was in their phones. Or some other smaller thing on their clothes. Something they couldn't even see. They...

damn sure
as reply to Rearview Mirror
He had an augmented trunk. More accurately put, he had no trunk. In its place was a 45 gallon auxillary tank that held extra
gas
. This meant that Keith could avoid filling up for months at a time. Depending on how much he drove, that would be about three...

all matthew thought about
as reply to Matthew Said
Matt didn't actually have a lawyer. He had been planning to get one for this asshole Dave though. That was until he saw 30 men storm the Seaside Rest with assault rifles.
They weren't police, SWAT, or anything official. Weren't gangsters either. They were... something else. Trained like the military, top...

the seaside rest
as reply to Over
The Seaside Rest was the last real motel on that coastline. Every other had become a resort in the past two decades. The Seaside was the only place you wouldn't get gouged. Family owned and operated. And they accepted cash.
The people who went there liked that about it. At least...

Dave was waiting for theΒ
Bialetti
to come to a boil when the message came in. Dave called out to his wife. "Coffee will be ready soon. Can you listen for it?"
"You're leaving?"
"Yep. Looks like they did their job after all."
He got into his Tesla. It would be about eight...
