Destiny (Gangsta Challenge)

“Yo Vinnie, wa sat noise outside?”, Johnnie No Toes asked.

“It’s da cops Johnnnie, wat we gonna do?” whined Vinnie The Whiner.

“Flush the stuff fast, we can’t go back to the Big House again, da boss’ll kill us dead,” said Vinnie as he peeked through the blinds.

Outside on Cherry Blossom Lane Cpt. Ace Hardware spoke into a megaphone, “We know you’re in there, come out with your hands up.” Such a cliched thing to say, but he was a cop about to retire and he really didn’t have his whole heart and soul into the job anymore, he just said things by rote. He knew the goons wouldn’t come out peacefully anyway, at least he hoped not.
Meanwhile back inside the thugs awaited their destiny.

“Destiny,” Vinnie shouted, “when did you get here?”
“I came in while you goons was about to flush the goods down the hopper”, Destiny Jones said, “You fools, that stuffs my ticket outta this stinkin racket. Give it here and follow me boys, this is gonna get bumpy.”
“Please don’t shoot,” Destiny said as she opened the door.
