I wrote this for the August 29th Flash Fiction Challenge
Marni left school about 4:00 and headed for the teacher’s parking when out of nowhere she was flanked by two burly men with sunglasses and dark suits.
“You guys Special Agents?” she looked back and forth.
The left guy flashed a badge case, she caught a glimpse of tin. The right tendered a card, they were indeed Feds.
“We need to speak with your father, Miss Gilroy.”
“Last I heard he was still in jail,” she answered.
First agent, “We think he might’ve been in Seattle last night.”
“You haven’t seen him, then?” the second agent asked.
“Nope, sorry.”
The prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about the safebreaker’s daughter. Who is she, what did she do, and where? Go where the prompt leads you!
Seattle. Always the den of bad guys!

Well, the feds are looking for him so I think that he might have gotten away for the time being.

She’s a teacher and Dad’s across the country. Love the fast-pacing of the Fed characters, almost Dick Tracy-like in tone.

I’m pretty sure the feds are looking for the wrong guy!
