The Big Job

This was a heist we had planned for some time. Billy and I had pulled several smaller jobs but this was a big one. We had watched our target for weeks and knew when the best time to strike was. Billy stood as lookout as I went after the prize.

The vault was tricky but I managed to get to it and opened slowly. There were no alarms that I heard and no traps. They must have thought no one would be foolish enough to try something like this. Well, they were wrong and that was good for us.

I got the stash, closed the vault and removed any evidence that might have shown we were there. Our getaway was clean. We headed to our hideout.

Later as we were enjoying our bounty we heard steps. They came closer. We held our breaths. The door was flung open. We had been nabbed. Billy broke quickly, trying to save himself his shaky finger pointed at me.

“It was all his idea Mom. He made me do it.” I looked at my little brother, chocolate smeared on his face, evidence of our crime and shook my head.
