"Goddammit! Move your ass Katie! They're gaining on us!"

"Not for long!"

Turning down a narrow path, Katie, Amber, Luna & Rose managed to scale a chain link fence & make their way through the now-familiar maze of alleyways.

They'd been in Boston Massachusetts for almost three months now, and the cops in the area were catching on to them more often, so they were trying to get some fast cash to buy themselves bus tickets and finally get out of town.

This was the fifth time in one week that they'd been caught pick-pocketing.

The cops were far enough behind them that they didn't see when the girls turned down a dead-end alleyway before moving a couple of old beer-kegs to reveal a small basement window, which they quickly climbed through and managed to move the kegs back into place before they could catch up, making it seem as if they'd just vanished into thin air.

"SON OF A BITCH!"

The girls had to bite back their laughter when the cops started yelling.

"Where the FUCK did they go?! They couldn't've just disappeared!"

"Fuck it, they got away AGAIN! Lets just head back, we'll get those little bitches next time!"

"That's what you said last time dickhead!" The leader whispered under her breath, making the others cover their mouths to keep from laughing.

After they heard them walk away & their footsteps were long gone, the girls finally lost it.

"Oh my god that was funny! I can't believe the one guy actually threw a tantrum, he acted like an overgrown seven year old!"

"I know right?!"

"Ok, ok. It was pretty funny, but now we need to see how much money we got."

"I hope it's enough, I'm sick of this hellhole!"

"Katie, we're all sick of this place!"

"I know Amber, I just wanted to complain because I know it annoys you." Amber reached over & punched her shoulder in retaliation.

"OW! Luna! Amber's abusing me!"

Luna just rolled her eyes & pulled out all the wallets she'd collected that day.

"Alright girls, lets see 'em!" The others pulled out their 'spoils' and altogether, they'd managed to grab twenty-five leather-bound wallets.

"So, how much we got Rose?"

Said-woman finished counting out the money & gave them a triumphant smirk. "Enough to get roundtrip tickets from NYC to LA."

"YES! Finally! We're getting the hell out of here!" Amber cheered as the others laughed.

"Heeeey, what do we have here?" They turned to see Katie pull a small bag of weed out of one of the wallets.

"Well, Timothy Wright, you're my kinda guy!"

The others just rolled their eyes & gathered up the now empty (of cash only) wallets, after finding a plastic bag laying nearby, Luna packed them up.

"Ok, I'll go drop these off, you three head to the bus stop & wait for me. If I'm not there in an hour, leave without me."

She grabbed the bag & climbed out the window before heading off toward the police station while the others headed off to the bus stop.
