For Michelle
A daring and complicated heist.
Joe Blackstone sat looking at the table. He didn't comprehend what he just heard. Joe came from a good home, a home where nothing of the sort would have been feasible. Sonny, on the other hand, knew the world better.
"That's why I have to leave for a while," said Michelle.
Sonny had a brilliant idea, an idea to force Rick Boogs to let his daughter live with her mother voluntarily. They needed leverage. They needed to prove they were capable of hurting him.
"What do you say? Are you in?"
It was the craziest of plans, and one that might do the trick. If it freed Michelle of her father's unsavory hold, it would be worth the risk. All they had to do was not get caught or killed.
Sonny had access to what they'd need. On a Sunday, while the good father was in church, confessing his sins, they'd take him down. Michelle's dad would freak out.
They used the fields of corn to cover their approach, and took out two sentries before getting into the lab. Then they took everything that was ready for sale. They burned the rest.
Michelle's dad was compelled to let her leave.
