Thought to another Me & Tommy & Billy thing this weekend, them trying to redeem themselves by dropping their ill-gotten robbery loot at a community center for the kids at Christmas, but of course in the middle of the night and with an unexpected hitch.
Their world
The Heist We let Billy Drive The Car
At a bar Twin Vision
—
We Let Billy Drive the Sleigh
Moved in in a flash
To drop off welcome cash
For the kids at the center
Christmas eve and then dash
—
Me and Tommy
Thought to turn
Ill-gotten gains
In-to kid holidays
—
Tommy had the back door
While I checked on the front
And billy warmed the sleigh
Without the slightest reindeer grunt
Tommy gave the sign
And I moved then on his mark
He pulled out extra key
That he’d scored a while back
With tommy as a Rudolph
Me wearing Dentist props
We scooted in the back door
Latest score we were to drop
—
We moved careful
Of being caught fearful
But we knew we were safe
Billy’d checked night shakes
—
But then we heard a sound we knew that wasn’t right
It came out of the blue in this middle Christmas night
It came out with a growl like it had angry might
It wasn’t happy and we tried stay out of sight
—
Shit, where’d the dog come from Stevie?
I don’t know man
You said Billy scoped this place
—
A willy nilly dash that could have been fun
At another day and another time
But right now we worried for our lives
Tommy Juked I jived we even made some dives
And even some too cool movie slides
Tapes the cops were sure to watch to give ‘em a smile
—
How the hell did Billy not scope out a dog
Does it matter right now Tommy? He’s got my shoe!
Toss me the money
You’re worried about the money? He’s got my sock!
We still gotta leave it somewhere!! For the kids
Ahhh son of a bitch, catch
Damn, I think the beast grabbed it
Yeah and my other shoe!!
—
And then through back door came bright light
A bit of Christmas magic
—
Hey boys it’s just a me and I got the money here
Just gonna drop it under the kids Christmas tree
The good thing that we do
Our crime sprees now redeemed
Got the sleigh out the back just waitin’ for a flee
And this guy is Duke if you haven’t met yet
He just loves a little scratch on the head
And don’t worry he won’t make y’all dead
—
Well, can I at least get my shoes back please … Duke? Ahhh, c’mon, really? They’re all slobbery and stuff

Reading this short story brought a mix of emotions for me. On one hand, it was heartwarming to see Me, Tommy, and Billy trying to redeem themselves by donating their ill-gotten money to a community center for the kids at Christmas. But on the other hand, the unexpected hitch of Duke the dog and the chaos that ensued had me on the edge of my seat. The writing paints a vivid picture of the characters and their actions, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and fear as I followed along with their late night heist. This is a unique and captivating tale that left a lasting impression on me.

Wow, way too kind there Sebastian and thanks!!! This little world of Me and Tommy and Billy is a lot of fun and this one let me play with some production elements to get the manic, noisy nature of it right and that seemed to have worked for you. So glad!! My apologies on being lax on catching up with you though, had a bit of a tough end of the year with a few health things but all good now and I can get back to more of a normal and with a new year’s start. Hope all is well my friend!!
