Prompt: Pickpocket
Jake had lost his keys. He thought they were in his pocket, but he just couldn't find them. Finally, in an act of desperation, he emptied his pockets out entirely and spilled their contents onto his desk.
Amir watched him intently.
"Quit creeping," Jake said absently as he dug through the pile. No luck. "I'm gonna go check the bathroom…maybe the conference room, too," he muttered to himself. And he walked away, leaving his stuff on the desk.
Amir smirked triumphantly. He waited until Jake had turned a corner, then he jumped up and quickly collected all of Jake's belongings.
This would be fun.
------
When Jake came back to the desks, Amir was sitting with his laptop put away and his hands folded together in a businesslike manner.
"What?" Jake asked.
Amir started to say, "Oh, nothing," but Jake cut him off.
"Hey, where's my stuff?!"
It seemed as if the entire bottom of Amir's face was taken up by his grinning mouth. "I made you a scavenger hunt." He said the words slowly, like he had just learned them.
Jake gaped, then his mouth snapped shut. "You what?" he said through clenched teeth.
"Hid your things about the office."
Jake glared a mighty glare of death.
"I knew you'd like it!" Amir said happily. "Oh, and here's a bonus." Amir reached into his pocket and held out Jake's keys to him. "Good luck!"
