A Legend Born, and Died

Pep was a ways to having committed the perfect crime. He would have gotten away with this misdemeanor with all eyes on him, like in The Thomas Crowne Affair, if he had just a little bit disguised himself: temporarily died his hair, gotten a nose ring, worn glasses, worn completely different clothing and...ditched the mask! That became as much a part of his look as anything; if he had ghosted the ghost gun and burned the manifesto. He was so good but a fucking McDonald's customer, of all sophisticates!, saw a guy with a mask. He had escaped the city to parts unknown, but he couldn't escape young, dark, handsome, and MASK! And a Pennsyltucky guy ordering a Big Mac.
