Mail Call

This is intended to be a repository for 'short shots' that don't really have a home of their own. Each chapter should stand alone (if it doesn't I'll let you know). Some may be serious, some may be silly…. Like that 'box a chocolates' you never know what you're gonna get. Enjoy, Dale

9. Chapter 9

Casino dropped into the chair and rested his elbow on the table, his hand was clamped over the top of his head.

"Blimey! What happened to you?"

"She hit me!"

Goniff rose up and craned to see over the top of the safecracker's dark head. "Which one?"

Casinos shifted, his chin on his shoulder as he glared at the three women huddled together by the bar. All of them were glaring right back at him. "I got no idea. They ganged up on me!"

Goniff dipped his napkin in the glass of iced water that sat next to his plate, peeled his teammates hand out of the way and started dabbing at the lump. "What'd they wanna do that for?"

Beryl giggled from her spot next to Goniff's empty chair. "Do you suppose it had anything to do with the fact that you invited her." She indicated a buxom blonde dressed in green. "You arrived with her," a peaches and cream chin lifted towards a tall thin woman dressed in blue. Another giggle escaped and then she continued….. "but you were dancing with her." A delicate hand raised from the table and a neatly manicure finger pointed out a highly made up 'lady' in red.
