Jeff, still in his suit and tie, kicked his feet up on the coffee table and sipped a Budweiser. Tomorrow he was going to court for the prosecution against his boss Mr. George Walington. Insider trading was a crime and Walington would pay. In exchange for his freedom, Jeff had taken a plea deal and given up Walington, providing the Federal Bureau of Investigation with secret files and trades.
When Jeff woke, he was still in the same clothes. He removed his suit, took a warm shower, got dressed, drank his coffee and headed out the door to destroy a life.
Loved it!
I like the objective tone in a story of one thief turning on another.
Yes, good “feel” to this one, all the way through.
Nice. I had convinced myself that he would wake up and go into work as always, wishing he had the nerve. I love when I’m wrong.
A very gritty, realistic tale. The turncoat profits; but his motive was self-preservation, not any sense of justice. Unfortunately, this is human nature at its worst. This is a Winner!
Thank you everyone for your positive feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
