			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s not what you told us at the scene,&#8221; says Pujols sharply.</p>
<p>&#8220;I said I&#8217;ll tell you everything I knew,&#8221; says Glory.  She&#8217;s pale and dull.  &#8220;I am.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Then let&#8217;s start with their names.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Never knew them,&#8221; Glory repeats.  &#8220;Angel, Faith, Charity and Clementine?  Google those, dipshit.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Relax, Glory,&#8221; says McNamara.  &#8220;Officer Pujols is a little overeager.  You want a cigarette?&#8221;  Her eyes are a warm hazel.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I can put it out in your face,&#8221; says Glory, in the same tone.  &#8220;Just ask me the questions, you fucking sow.&#8221;  She keeps her hands in her lap, one in the other.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>7:32 and the drugstore&#8217;s not open yet.  Angel thumps her head on the glass door.  &#8220;Of all the days to start,&#8221; she sighs.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a&#8230;  a diner down the block,&#8221; Faith says, squinting.  &#8220;I bet they have one of those machines in the restroom.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Good call.  You guys want to wait at the corner?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah.  Need some change?&#8221; says Charity, digging in a pocket.</p>
<p>Angel laughs.  &#8220;I won all your money last night, remember?&#8221;</p>
<p>Inside, she ducks back toward LADS &#8216;N&#8217; LASSES.  She unhooks the payphone, drops in Charity&#8217;s fifty cents and dials.  She counts to five and hangs up.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;C&#8217;mon, big boy,&#8221; says Faith. She&#8217;s grinning; he&#8217;s red. She slaps him again. &#8220;Want to try something?&#8221; Slap.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re wasting time,&#8221; mutters Clementine.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not every day&#8211;&#8221; says Faith, turning, and the teller swings an awkward punch.</p>
<p>&#8220;HEY!&#8221; snaps Angel.</p>
<p>&#8220;You fucking,&#8221; snarls Faith, but her shot&#8217;s wild. He grabs his hand and screams. Sudden blood, noise and the drop men walk in. 7:49&#8211;they&#8217;re early. Two long duffels on a dolly.</p>
<p>Faith feels Angel tackling her behind the counter just as she registers their guns. Why do they have guns?  Something&#8217;s wrong.  She knows, then, that they won&#8217;t be alone.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They cross at the light, wearing sweaters and jeans, dyed ponytails under ball caps&#8211;no leather catsuits.  Their masks are still damp.</p>
<p>In the lobby, Glory flips on the old incandescent sign, the bank&#8217;s public all-clear signal.  She unlocks the door.  There&#8217;s a hand on her shoulder.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s only twenty of, Glory,&#8221; frowns her boss.  &#8220;We don&#8217;t open until the Palms boys make their drop, remember?&#8221;</p>
<p>Glory smiles.</p>
<p>Then they&#8217;re in.  Faith hits the guard in the throat.  Charity shoots out the cameras.  Angel and Clementine cover the tellers, caught in shock near the door.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nobody touch anything,&#8221; Glory purrs.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tuesday night, Charity&#8217;s place. Clementine scrubs off in the bathroom while Glory smooths plaster over Faith&#8217;s nose. Margaritas and Bob Seger; penny poker.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s still Vaseline in my eyebrows.&#8221; Angel grimaces and raises a dime.</p>
<p>&#8220;No,&#8221; says Glory, &#8220;they just feel weird afterward. I&#8217;ve made a million of these, they&#8217;re perfect for the job.  They&#8217;ll melt in water.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I won&#8217;t have pantyhose over my eyes,&#8221; says Charity. &#8220;See a quarter, raise a quarter, call.&#8221;</p>
<p>Angel drops queens over eights.</p>
<p>&#8220;You weren&#8217;t bluffing!&#8221; Charity stares. &#8220;You had to be&#8211;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nobody sees through this, sweetie.&#8221; Angel grins and rakes in the change.</p>]]></content:encoded>
