Ch. 5

In and Out

Someone knocked on John's door.

"Go away! I'm making out with my lighter!"

"It's Rogue."

John jumped off his bed in a hurry and opened the door partially. He rubbed the back of his neck, "I was just kidding about the making out thing."

"John Allerdyce is sarcastic? Wow that's news to me!"

John rolled his eyes, "Ha ha very funny."

"Can I come in?" She asked.

He opened the door all the way and closed it after she entered the room.

"So what do you want? Would you like to make fun of me too?"

"It's not bugging you…is it?"

John got up to look out of the window so she couldn't read him like a book. "Of course not."

However, Rogue knew him better than that.

"It is bothering you!"

"Since when have I cared about these things?"

"Never. Until now."

John crossed his arms and turned around, "I knew Bobby had it. I'm not a moron."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I'm not sure yet but I'll think of something…something good and when the time is right…that icicle is going to shatter." He grinned, "Would you like to help me? I could really use your help."

Rogue didn't answer right away. If she said yes it would be like helping the devil. If she said no…wait…why would she say no? "I can't think of one reason not too."

"Sweet! My plans just got a bit more interesting thanks to you."

Rogue was starting to wish she hadn't said 'yes'. Bobby should have just left it alone.

John's face lit up, "I have an idea. I'll be back in an hour."

"You do know that requires you to leave this room…"

"You make it sound like I'm hiding. I just needed time to think."

Rogue smirked, "Sure."

As John walked the halls students pointed and laughed. But whenever he is in 'mischievous mode' nothing gets in his way.

He ended up at a nearby park. John scanned the area for males that had a wallet in their back pocket…it's the easiest way to steal one.

His target was a middle-aged man. He looked like an easy target. He also looked kind of lost. John grinned to himself thinking that maybe the guy was trying to pickup joggers. Either that or the man was just there to stare at perfect god-given bouncing things.

John took a deep breath. He hadn't pick pocketed in a long time. He thought that his skills might be off. You have to be sly and most of all you have to be quick. They can't know what hit them till the pickpocket is no longer in sight and if you're lucky they don't realize till they get home.

John started walking toward his target when a little girl about 5 years old stepped in his way.

"Hey Mr. would you like to buy some cookies?" She asked.

Apparently little five-year-old girls get in John's way even in mischievous mode.

John was a little annoyed, "Does it look like I have money?"

"You look hungry."

John smirked. He was hungry and the cookies did smell good. "Okay give me three minutes and I'll buy the whole box."

He looked for his target and found him again. Without hesitation John just went for it. He slightly bumped the man and snagged the wallet. He didn't even say sorry. 'In and out' was his motto for pick pocketing.

A few feet away John leaned on a tree to see if what he needed was in the stolen wallet. "Do I know how to pick them or what?" John said to himself finding 250 dollars and a few credit cards. He glanced at the name on the driver's license and laughed since the man he stole from was named Robert.

John took two hundred dollars out to give the girl and kept fifty. "Keep the change." He told her.

"Thanks Mr." She said as she waved goodbye.

'Who the hell takes 250 bucks with them to the park?' John thought as he walked back to the mansion eating the cookies.

When he got back to his room Rogue was still there.

"How and where did u get those?" Rogue asked pointing to the cookies.

"It was easy…like taking candy from a baby."

"John!"

"I'm just kidding. I bought them for 200 dollars."

"Why on earth would you pay so much…wait…how did you get the money?"

John took out the wallet and tossed it on his bed next to Rogue.

"I need the credit card actually but this girl selling cookies got in my way and kind of talked me into buying them. I just couldn't say no."

Rogue rolled her eyes, "Yeah you're real sweet."

"Anyway back to business" he said as he took out the credit card. "Can you go find Bobby and keep him busy?"

"Sure. But if he talks about hiding your lighter one more time…I think I might strangle him with my bare hands."

"I've got fifty bucks…I'll even pay you to do it!" He shoved the money in her face.

Rogue smiled, "The money is tempting, John; but I think I'm going to pass, for my sake."

"I'll come down to rescue you when I'm done."

"Don't forget." She said as she closed the door and left his room.

John logged onto the Internet. He had to google to find a site that sold what he was searching for. It's not like he ever needed them or ever will for that matter.

John typed all of the shipping and billing information. He was shipping the item to a P.O. Box and he would figure out the rest when the time came. He made it 'Rush delivery' so it would only take one to two days to arrive. Besides…it's not like it was his money. 'Sorry Robert but Bobby must suffer.' John said to himself before he clicked 'Submit'.

He turned off the computer and found Rogue as soon as possible. This way she wouldn't strangle him to death.

A/N: We'll find out what John ordered in the next chapter. Woohoo…I'm on a roll with my fics! Go me! Erm…I'm okay…really I am… Just review k? Thanks.
