abuseVery creative and entertaining story! I especially like the way in which Tom reflects on the way Ed, Soap, and Bacon would have handled the situation. The only correction I would make -- and it's something that you probably wouldn't have known about if you're not familiar with British slang -- is that when Ed tells Tom in the movie to give the drug sample to Nick The Greek, he calls him "Nick The Bubble" and not "Bauble". In Cockney slang, someone will substitute a rhyming phrase for a missing word (as an example, the word "look" becomes "butcher's hook") but they will not actually say the rhyming word and instead say the other part of the phrase in place of the rhymed word -- so "look" becomes "butcher's". In the same way, Ed replaces the word "Greek" in Nick's name with the rhyming phrase "bubble and squeak" (which is a cabbage dish) and calls him "Nick the Bubble".

abuseNot bad, I gotta say. Interesting to see that nothing has been written on Lock Stock since around '01 or whenever, certainly not in the last couple of years anyway. Although I thought that Tom would make a decision in this but still, well written piece of work. :-)
