"Who've thought that she'd make one hell of a master thief?" thought Maya to herself while watching Mercy working on the locks. She still sees Erin and her mother in her dreams on occasion, but nothing had to be really said at all.
Once inside the book store, Garrett filched the gems and such while she and Maya worked on getting everything else out of the drawers and such ilk like that.
Once back at the Crippled Burrick, Mercy and Garrett were talking with Basso about prices Basso choked on some smoke from whatever he was smoking and asked,"How'd our young little thief do tonight Garrett? Along with her friend?"
Garrett smiled as he asked him."Basso, what do you think? She did well as did Maya. I'm proud of them both. And with a damned good reason too."
The girls were quietly talking about the heist when she felt Erin's presence for one final time. She gave Garrett her forgiveness before hugging him goodbye.
They gave her their wishes, dreams and hopes as she faded away, never to be seen there again "Who would have thought that mama was the daughter of the best known master thief had ever lived," murmured Erin, Mercy's oldest daughter by Matthew, a fellow thief who knew Marian as a child because they were siblings.
