Hi @jayna. The prompt word really spoke to me so I took a crack at 250 words exactly. I hope you enjoy :)... Fair warning, this is crime fiction so there is moderate swearing ;-)

P.s. if you want to hear the music I was listening that inspired this gangster style story check out this YouTube mix. It really put me in the London mindset:
So glad you entered, @raj808! I'm a bit behind on reading stories and have to pause because I used up my allotted voting power for today, but I will be catching up on my reading now that the weekend is here.
I'm glad I entered Jayna. I do look at the prompt every week but only enter when the prompt gives me that spark of inspiration. You know the feeling; when the plot, characters and style are just right there in your head from the prompt word. It is a fantastic feeling lol
I guess that it would happen a lot more if I wrote fiction more but at the moment I have to go with the flashes of inspiration, as to try and force it exhausts me right now. I love writing fiction, pretty much above all else, but it really knocks me for six at the moment.
I hope you enjoy the gangster vibes :-)
