Vice Trap

VICE TRAP Nick spent some time cooling it behind bars after Madrid busted him for selling marijuana. And while he was in there, Madrid also helped himself to Nick's girl, Lona. Now Nick's out and Madrid comes to him with a proposition. He wants him to fence some stolen goods for him. Nick has no reason to trust him, but he figures it might be a way to get back with Lona, so he agrees. Now Madrid has a new proposition for him-robbing a bank. It's a perfect set-up for a cop. Madrid is the town cop and it's his job to watch the bank. All he has to do is turn his back during the rodeo celebration, and Nick and his friends are in like easy. Trouble is, Nick still wants Lona. And he still loves his smoke. And he sure as hell doesn't know if he can trust Madrid. Black Gat #67
