That One Smart Friend

Mick had known Dave and Pete for a few years now. The three of them running jobs, stealing here and there. It was not honest work, but kept him fed, kept him clothed. 

They never really made much, but they always had enough. They should have stuck to that. But then one day Dave had come in all excited. Someone had a job for them. A simple beat down, teach some lady a lesson. Nothing life threatening just a few slaps to show her who was boss.

"Half a million, just to slap some girl around," The money had been too good to pass up, so they had taken the job. Looking forward to leaving petty crime behind.
