My brother and I were wandering from store to store scanning for a truly unique present that would blow my mother's socks off. Our mother loved us very much, no matter rain or shine. My brother brought along our savings to pay for the gift. We went into a shop called 'Forever 21' where they sold beautiful women clothing.

Since I was a girl, my brother asked me to choose the most beautiful scarf. My attention was arrested to the pair of blue and yellow shoes. I knew my mother did not like the color blue so I kept silent about it.

"Amy, we only have an hour left, please hurry!" my brother told me staring at his watch

"Ok," I mumbled and walked away to find more clothes, this time, picking up the pace.
My eyes were glued to an alluring punk scarf. Although I did not like it, I was sure that my mother would love the color.
"I found something!" I shouted to my brother as the salesman told me not to shout.

Just as my brother was about to reply, a burly man with a scar on his left cheek came in storming louder than an elephant. Knocking into my brother on purpose, he roared with uncontrollable fury at my brother's face.

"Watch where you are going!"

If looks could kill, he would have died that very moment. Then the man stomped away with his face darkening in anger.

"What was that?" I asked my brother.

He shrugged while looking for his wallet which was gone! He was immobilized with fear. Now he did not have any money left! How will we get home now? At least we could call our mother but then it would not be a surprise for her.

Then my brother thought, "My wallet only disappeared when that ugly man knocked into me, he must be the pickpocket!"

But, he had no evidence of it so he did not say anything yet. At that moment, he saw on a notice board that there was a thief whom the police were looking for and the man on the board looked just like the man that who had bumped into my brother. Just as I was about to ask my brother what he was looking at, he dragged me to the information counter and told me to sit on a bench nearby. Then he told me to stay there. He went to the information counter and blurted something out to the manager. I could tell he said something but I was not sure what. After that, I glanced at two strong looking men coming towards us while my brother explained every little part of what had happened. There was no time to waste, we had to find that pickpocket!

Not giving up, we searched every nook and cranny for that man. Ten minutes passed, we finally found the thief. He was about to leave the mall when we spotted him and raised the alarm. The security guards charged at him like a flock of falcons and pinned him down to the floor while putting handcuffs on him.

"You are under arrest for pickpocketing, please follow us back to the station!"

Dragging his feet, the man grumbled and followed the guards to the police station. It turned out that it was not the first time the man had been in this kind of situation. The guards commended us for our great deed of bravery and my brother got his wallet back. Walking back to "Forever 21" I told my brother, " Let's get the red scarf for Mum to celebrate our great deed of bravery!"
