Don’t Miss ~ Flash Fiction

“I don’t think so!” Julia snatched her purse from the security guard at the doors of the capital building. Desperation seeped through her mind. The job had to get done tonight. If not, the werewolves holding her sister captive would have Cindy for dinner, literally. “I will not submit to this indignity!”
“Ma’am?” The guard said trying to placate her. “It’s standard procedure. Everyone gets searched for weapons.” He tried to smile gesturing for her purse.
“I will not stand here and get felt up by your goons like I’m common thug!” She prayed that the guard would dismiss her as too much trouble to deal with.
“I see,” said the guard. “Won’t you step this way behind the screen, then?” Julia’s heart sank. Still she stalked over to the screened area. Once there, she glared at the man. “Now. What’s in the bag?”
“It’s uh…personal,” she hedged.
“Got five sisters. Nothing shocks me. So, really, what’s in the bag?”
Shoulders sagging she set down the purse. The guard walked over to it and looked inside. Cindy was dead now. No way that the guard would let her in with a wooden stake meant for the feebly insane vampire Mayor.
The guard looked in the purse then back to Julia with a frown. “Thank you for your cooperation, ma’am,” he said loudly. He held out her purse and smiled. Julia snatched it back. “The Mayor will be in his office alone for the next twenty minutes,” he whispered. “Don’t miss.”
