Jimmy’s new job.
“Hey Bob, I’ve just received news that I’ll be interviewed for my new job as a—“, Bob Replied:
“Oh that’s great, but currently you work for me and we need you in the field.”
“I’m tired of working as a mercenary for hire.”
“Mercenary? Brother, you’re one of us. Permanently. If you leave, your family dies. You know how we operate.”
“True, that was in the contract.”
“We were able to help you get a job despite your criminal background. Who else would hire a crook?”
“The team I signed up for were really desperate for new recruits to join. So I got accepted, or more probably, overlooked...”
“How about this Jimmy, I’ll charge you $5k in payment plan for your change of work.”
“that standard procedure?”
“Yes, it’s to show that we take people changing their jobs and leaving our ‘family’ very seriously. You know our operations rely heavily upon trust.”
“I see. Okay, I’ll accept your offer.”
“But first, we need you for one last mission.”
“Sure, why not. One last round with the boys.”
“We’re planning on raiding a bank.”
Later that day at nighttime.
“Man, Bob, I’m looking forward to my job interview.”
“We hope it goes well for you too. Hop in the car and we’ll meet up at the rendezvous point.”
At the rendezvous point.
“Oh wait, I forgot to mention to you, Jimmy, that if you see Johnny at the bank, remember that he’s no longer one of us.”
“Okay, noted.”
After breaking into the Bank.
“Put your hands up high where we can—“,
“Jimmy…?”
“JOHNNY?!”
Johnny then activated the silent alarm.
“Jimmy, we need to run. Unfortunately the Police Department building is just across the street.” Whispered Bob.
Back at the rendezvous point
“Bob, what happened?”
“After we lost touch with Johnny,
we also had lost recent information about which branch he works at. One of our ‘Family’ rules was to always stay in touch even after you stop working for us.”
“we couldn’t have stopped him from activating the alarm?”
“That’s Johnny for ya. Bold, courageous and reliable. We had a hard time letting him go but he convinced us to let him go.”
“Wait are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
“Yeah, Johnny also knows about this rendezvous point. We need to go back to the Mafia Hideout.”
“But doesn’t Johnny know about that one too?”
“Lets go to Mafia Hideout Number 2 then.”
At Mafia hideout #2.
“Sorry it had to end on a low note, Jimmy.
We could’ve handled any other bank but not a bank with Johnny.”
“What about all the other boys that were supposed to come?”
“They couldn’t make it. But regardless No one, I know can handle Johnny. Johnny would’ve risked his life to activate that silent alarm effectively.”
“Oh well. Thanks for everything Bob. I’ll be sure to stay in touch as friends.”
“Thank you for being my co worker, I’ll see you around sometime.”
“See ya , Bob.
The next Day at the police station,
Jimmy was waiting in the visitors lounge.
“We’re looking for a Jimmy Bianchi?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
“Come with us to the interrograt-, I mean Interview room.”
“Officer Tom, This is why we need new recruits.”
“Sorry, Boss.”
“It’s okay.”
At the interrogation room.
“I’ll let Officer Tom handle the interview because the author is too tired to give me a name. Good day to you both.”
Said the nameless officer as he walked out of the room and watched from a far.
“So, Jimmy, it says here that you used to be a criminal?.”
“Yes.”
“How can we trust you.”
“That’s for you to figure out, I’m trying to turn over a new leaf so that at least my kids can look up to their father. 16 years of crime and now a new leaf to turn.”
“Hmmm well since you used to be working in crime, I was just wondering if you could help us identify who was robbing a bank last night?”
“S-s-sure, no worries. It shouldn’t be a matter.”
The Video of the security footage was played from the Smartphone of Officer Tom as Tom asked,“Do you recognise these People, Johnny.”
“Hmmm, Not quite.”
“Are you sure?”
“I absolutely sure I don’t recognise those people.”
“Oh wait. That is you. Boss! Please come in, we need to take him in for further questioning.”
“I’m outta here!” Jimmy exclaimed as he frantically ran and tripped over a police donut.
