Chapter 7
I was leaning against a wall some-what in the shade. I was in the middle class part of town I had felt like staying out of the crowds today, everyone flocks to the rich part because they want to seem rich by walking among the rich people. I felt like watching people be who they were today. Then something caught my eye on the far side of the street, it was a blonde- haired boy my age leaning on a corner casually.
I've been in this business for a while and I know how to try and look casual as you scope people out to steal from. This boy looked to be doing just that. To my surprise I suddenly realized that I had made no move to find out who else worked in the business with me. Sure, I knew I had people who lived next door but it had never occurred to me that they worked for David too. I decided to become a little more certain before I... OK, now there was no doubt. I watched as the boy scoped out a man who looked to be worth a good steal and started following him. I decided to meet him on the way back.
I made my way across the street to where the boy had been leaning and waited. The boy did indeed remove various items from the man and stuff them into his pockets then without looking made his way back. The look on his face when he saw me standing there watching him was irreplaceable. Then I realized that if I had seen someone watching me I would have run. So I decided what I could do really fast... nothing. Calling out would do absolutely no good. I decided to take shortcuts back to the apartments if he ran. He ran. I beat him there.
