In this Thriller Short, bestselling author Robert Ferrigno, offers a humorous look at the seedy side of crime. Junior wants the ledger detailing his financial transactions for the last eight years and sends killers Briggs and Sean to bring it to him. But it’s no easy task, which Briggs and Sean quickly discover as Junior’s accountant leads them into a swamp to retrieve the journal. The deal the killers made with him was simple: turn the register over and they’ll deliver a quick and painless death. But plans don’t always turn out the way they’re supposed to.
