“Pull over Butch. This is the spot,” Ray said ignoring his passenger.
Brakes squealed over the low engine hum and gravel crunch as the long black sedan pulled to a stop.
Ray pushed open his door and stepped out. “Let’s go,” he said looking over his shoulder. “You wanted to talk? Well, now’s your chance.”
Sly opened his own door and slunk over to the table beneath the great oak. He didn’t know how many were buried here, just that it was a lot.
They sat.
“It wasn’t my fault, Boss.”
“I know,” Ray said. “It’s Nobody’s fault. It always is.”

#FridayFictioneers is a weekly blog link up hosted by Rochelle over at RochelleWisoff.com. You should check out her sight and perhaps try your hand at writing a 100 word story.
Good luck!

Maybe. But his name is Sly, so maybe he can slip away.

It all depends on Sly’s ‘legendary’ negotiation skills now (I took the liberty of giving him those skills, I hope you don’t mind.) 🙂

Don’t mind in the least. You know, the beauty of the 100 word story, at least in part, is that so much is left to the reader. Makes them fun to write, and hopefully in this case, fun to read!

Scary outlook for Sly. But then, there must be a reason for his name, so there’s hope…

I think you’ve given your character skills to survive the mess he finds himself in. With a name like Sly, hard to think otherwise.
