America Fantastica

At 11:34 a.m. one Saturday in August 2019, Boyd Halverson strode into Community National Bank in Northern California.
?How much is on hand, would you say? he asked the teller. ?I?ll want it all.?
?You?re robbing me?
He revealed a Temptation .38 Special.
The teller, a diminutive redhead named Angie Bing, collected eighty-one thousand dollars.
Boyd stuffed the cash into a paper grocery bag.
?I?m sorry about this,? he said, ?but I?ll have to ask you to take a ride with me.?
