Mr. Townsend by DragonSkulls Short Story writing prompt entry |
Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of violence. The last rays of the summer sun were disappearing below the horizon as Charlie boarded the train. He spotted a seat among three young women. "May I?" The blonde answered, "Sure." He slid his briefcase under the seat and sat down. Shortly after leaving, he struck up a conversation and found out they were recent LA police academy graduates, Jill, Sabrina and Kelly. They were taking a short vacation before their first assignments. Jill and Kelly excused themselves, going opposite directions, one for coffee, one for the powder room. Moments later, there was commotion atop the train and three men, brandishing weapons, entered through the skyview window as the helicopter flew off. Charlie knew what they wanted...the highly sensitive contents of his briefcase. Two men guarded the entrances as the leader confronted Charlie. With a .45 under Charlie's chin, he said, "Give it up...or die." That's when Jill came through the door. Before the gunman could even react, she flung the coffee in his face, snatched his shotgun away and blew his brains all over the ceiling with it. At the same time, Kelly entered through the opposite door. Before her assailant could even turn around, she yanked him backwards, slammed the door on his throat, then savagely kicked his skull until his neck snapped. While watching the madness, Sabrina jumped up, head-butted the leader, bent his arm, crammed his own .45 in his mouth and pulled the trigger. After the whole ordeal, Charlie broke the silence. "You ladies saved my life...and did it with such expertise. My agency needs such expertise. I can offer you ten times the amount you'd earn if you'd rather come work for me." Handing them a card, he said, "Just get ahold of my assistant, Bosley. When he asks, just tell him...you're Charlie's angels."
