** spoiler alert **
This story has a great set-up, and maintains the suspense...most of the way through. Two brothers plan a bank robbery, and it's all going well until the dye pack explodes during getaway. A girl and her older brother witness a bank robber fleeing the scene, but he is masked. The girl's boyfriend sees two brothers burying something. The brothers might be willing to kill to protect themselves, but the witness is legally blind. Maybe he didn't "see" anything incriminating; then again, maybe he did. All the pieces gradually come together in a climactic stand-off. The ending fizzled a bit, but not in a way I can easily explain. Maybe it's just me.
