Turn 0.
The five of you sit around a table, cards haphazardly splayed across the surface. A single incandescent bulb hangs from the ceiling. Five would-be criminals exchange glances. They all have their reasons for meeting; be it revenge, lust for power, perhaps even boredom. Some were betrayed by the very world they once tried to change. There was no turning back at this point.
Dan McCoy is the one to break the stifling silence.
"Enough of this stupid card game. We need to get down to business. What do we have? Any guns?"
"I have a car," says Dezrick. "No weapons."
"My mom has a pretty spacious basement," says Rolf, "But we should probably only use it as a last resort."
"Anything else? What about cash?"
"We've scrounged up what we could, but it isn't much. About $400 each."
"Less than I hoped. Making more money should come first. The convenience store around the corner probably only keeps a couple hundred in its register."
"We could steal an ATM from somewhere, pry it open, take the money... bet it'd have at least a couple thou'."
"What, seriously? That's fucking stupid."
"Hey, why don't we just hit a bank or something? With the five of us, I bet we could get in and out in a few minutes. We'd make 10 or 20 thousand, no sweat."
