Lester remembered every moment of the night they pulled the largest heist in their storied history. He never liked the name they earned, The Nightmare Squad, but Hobbes convinced him it would work to their advantage. Lester put it out of his mind, knowing this last heist would be the most risky.
Lester blinked to focus his eyes as he studied the note Hobbes left behind when he was caught by the federal authorities.
“Find the rock, find the happiness. You know where to look . . .”
Lester wished the feds had waited one more minute to nab his partner.

Hobbes now has to use his brain, everything he has, but he seems to be the smarter one of the two anyway. Great take on the prompt.

Poor Lester! There are probably a zillion rocks around.
Maybe the authorities will allow him visiting privileges? Or he could get hired as prison janitor? 🤔
Good one. Let us know how he finds the loot.

The sort of crime legends are made of, especially when the loot goes missing.
Well done!
