The Hook

July 2018. Will Barter, the travelling salesman, working on repairing his reputation after his disastrous run for mayor, spotted the thief Enzo who had broken into several places, stabbed one of the employees in the cafe and was now plotting to escape.

Will decided to run his own scam on Enzo, pretending he hd valuables and needed a place to keep them safe.


Each day Will saw Enzo

Watching the BG train

Time to make his move

He figured, time to mine that vein

He pretended arriving

Satchel in hand

Looking furtive

Just like he planned

He walked up to Enzo

Bag tight to his chest

Asked where could he stay

And be a safe guest

He needed a place

protected from spies

His business was secret

From all prying eyes

What, Enzo wondered

Was in that case

He scribbled a note

I know a safe place

Also I'm looking

For a woman named Lou

It's all for her

This work I do

What is the work?

Enzo scribbled again

Diamonds, Will whispered

From some highwaymen

My job is to sell them

But I don't know where to look

Do you think you could help me?

Will asked, setting the hook
