One year earlier
"I can't get it open," she said dejectedly.
"Patience--use all your senses, Kate."
She sighed, closed her eyes, and moved the lockpick just a hair.
SNICK.
The last tumbler fell into place, and the safe opened. She relaxed and smiled.
The fat man patted her shoulder. "Good, Kate--very good. You are a suprisingly good student..."

I love the character build up, Jim. Isn't it so fun to write these a little at a time.

Hey, Snow, thanks! It is fun to write these over time...especially since the characters develop in ways I never thought they would! Glad you enjoyed it.
Jim
great back story!!! I want more!
More is coming, Flash!
Hey, I just had a thought--maybe the heroines from my story, yours, and Snow's should all hook up and become some chick super-group of bad guy *ss kickers...

Nice! I didn't see this on the flash blog - I'm excited to learn more about these folks. Great use of "fat man". I can just see his bulbous hands tapping her shoulder - well done!
Hey Claudia, thanks for the compliment! Just FYI, I usually keep my 55s separate--I'm working on this continuing story on my blog, and I typically write something different for the 55 Flash Fiction Friday blog.
I liked your 55 today--I'll leave a comment over at the other blog.
Happy Friday!
Jim
