The Throw

by pome lover


 
 
John pushed through the crowd as he heard the train approaching. He yelled into his cell phone to his back-up, Kate Spade. “He’s supposed to be in the next to last car. Yeah, but I think he stashed the package somewhere…Yeah. okay. Will do. You, too.”

As the train slowed to a stop, John impatiently waited as the passengers hurried down the steps. Pushing in, past the last one, he quickly looked from side to side for a package. Just then, a man came out of the restroom, spotted John and turned around abruptly, running into an attractive brunette.

“That’s him, Kate. Get him off!” John yelled, as he opened the restroom door. Behind the toilet was a bag. Grabbing it, John hurried off the train. Raising his arm as he did in his glory days in college, he sent a Hail Mary pass sailing down the empty track.

BOOM!
