Week 97
Prompt
"Soooo, we're supposed to do what? Tranq it first?"
"No, we'll just waltz right over and ask the angry tiger to take a chill pill. OF COURSE, we'll tranq it first. "
"Jeez, it's my first day. Give me a break!"

"No!" Bill said emphatically.
"But we have to do this, it's our mission for today!", his boss exclaimed.
"Uh, oh, ain't doing that."
"Bill, we have to, at least for the money."
"Money ain't no good if we're too dead to even see it!"
"Think of your family, who could use the money"
"But life isn't always about money!"
"Your wife needs the money for surgery, mate. Your children will go hungry." The boss tried to reason with him.
"Stop bringing up my family! You're the one without any left!"
"That's because you killed them all, Bill. Or did you forget?" the boss accused him.
"So you want me to be the cause of your death as well? I tried, I really did to save them from that house fire. I had no idea they were in there when I lit it!" Bill tried to explain himself.
"Guys, I think we caught the tiger's attention..." the boss' assistant interjected.
"So ... run?" the boss suggested.
"No, do the chicken dance......OF COURSE RUN. How thick are you people?" Bill exclaimed.
"Less chit-chat, more fleeing people! It looks like it's ready to pounce on us at any moment now!" the assistant said trying to swiftly pick up their things.
"Can't we just, you know, SHOOT IT WITH THE TRANQUILIZER?!" the boss screamed.
"I vote running and shooting.....both sound like a good idea," the assistant said.
"Wait, is it... dead?" the boss asked poking it with a stick.
"Man.. what happens to the money?" Bill asked.
A meteor crashed and burnt all the money
