“We may be criminals, but we have values.”
The Half-Elf Diera looked reassuringly at the mysterious woman.
“Usually measured in currencies!” the dwarf to her left bellowed.
“That is not helpful, Pike!”

“Pike! Please!”
With a little effort, Diera managed to compose herself again.
“What my friend is trying to say is ….”

“Charity,” Pike joked, not recognising his mistake.
“So you do know Charity?! Where is she?!”
While the woman and Pike drew their weapons, Diera dug under the table.

This story was inspired by JF Danskin’s crime-related writing prompt and is a response to his challenge “A Drabble Challenge for Authors.”
Begin a piece of flash fiction with the line: “We may be criminals, but we have values.”
I like to extend JF Danskin’s challenge to Christine Graves, Timpoa, Sweet Chaos, Jonathon Sawyer, and C.A. Jaymes.
