A White Merc With Fins by James Hawes

Copyright Year: 1996

Plot

Whilst temping for a shady company, a middle-class man realises he can commit the perfect bank robbery which will turn his life around.

Best summed up as Reservoir Dogs meets Pulp Fiction in Shepherd's Bush.

Actually, Brady and his Doggies are part of the Plan, but I kept that in reserve because I knew Brady would cause trouble about something, he always does, he just likes making trouble, he is the kind of git, you know, who will say to you after three pints:

“OK, so will you back me up when those three over there start on me?”

And you look round and you see these three skinheads or whatever, guzzling snakebites, going rather heavy on that spotty chimp-cackle that some yoof do, it’s true, and looking generally like they must have slept through the alarm clock on the morning the gene pool was being ladled out, but on the whole minding their own speedy little business, and you reply:

“Who, them? They aren’t starting anything.”

“They will.”

That kind of bastard.
