The Two Tonys
A microfiction inspired by a photograph I once took
Little Tony had been casing the bank and its surroundings for weeks, so we weren't worried. Little Tony was the best. If he said, No cops at Time X, you could bet there'd be no cops in sight then. Little Tony did his job right...
It was Middle Tony who blew his assignment — by getting us there at Time Y. When I saw them standing around just sipping cold drinks, waiting for us, I knew we were doomed.
