Flash # 5



            He studied his plate.  On it was a single slice of lime shining in the low light of the restaurant.  The plate was clean, but of simple design.  Out of place with a mastermind such as himself.  The white of the plate looked even brighter with sharp contrast of green in the center.  The fruit was moist and bitter, perfectly segmented into slices, a harsh-tasting rind edging around it.  Beside the plate and lime was a triangular napkin.  It had a few simple designs of swirls, but was also far too plain for the brilliant brain beholding it.  That would change tonight.  In the center of the triangle was a bright, polished silver piece.  He slid his hand forward to grasp it, simultaneously grasping his future and his wealth.  His hand wrapped around the handle of the silver knife.
