Chapter 19
Worth your while.
After we ate, me and silver split the bill and paid for it. It was 13.36, counting tax. We walked out of the restaurant, and waved bye, but silver came up to me and said, "yo Marshall, you seem like a cool guy. Ill call you later, K." "Sure thing silver." I said as we walked away. I caught up with Amy and we walked back to the apartment side by side. We reached the apartment building, and then Amy leaned in towards me and gave me a hug. You make my slinky go, doing, doing, doing. "I had a great time with you Marshall, we should hang out again." Said Amy as she let go. Blushing I said "sure Amy." She then walked inside the lobby got in the elevator, and as it closed she waved bye to me. I sat down on a bench and looked at my phone. 3:42, it said. Then I heard a familiar voice. "Making friends with her I see." I looked up and saw rouge standing in front of me. "Huh?" I said. "There is no use hiding it, you like her and you know it." she said to me with a smile on her face. "no I just like her as a friend." I said. "well that isn't what your tail says." I looked back and found out my tail was up and straight. "Damn it." I thought. "well ignore it fox-boy, I need your help with something." She said. "what is it?" "remember when you said that if you were going to get me jewels?" I remember. "yeah you said if I did you will make it worth my while." She then leaned in and said, "if you get me some jewels ill pay you back." "ill see what I can do." I said back to her with a slick smile on my face.
Later that night…
I waited outside a jewelry store. I had a bandana on, wore a black jacket, and black jeans. I took a bottle of paint and sprayed my shoes so no one will recognize my shoes in public. I lifted the bandana over my face and put the hoodie on. The store was one of the ones were a lot of rich people go to. It was closing up so no one was inside there, expect for a late night cashier. I was about to enter through the back window, but it started raining. Summer rain, you can never predict them. Anyway, I was going to enter but I thought of a better idea. I put my hands on the wall and felt for any electric wires, I looked through every crack till I felt a little copper wire sticking out of brick. I grabbed it and circuited into the wiring. I made my way into a storage room. It was dark, but I had my hands electric fried so I can emit some light here. I looked for the door handle, nearly knocking over a broom stick and a buck filled with water. I mean come on, who puts a bucket filled with dirty water in the storage room. I ignored it and looked for the handle. I looked at the shelf to the side of me and saw a bottle that said "chloroform." How convenient. I found a rag and put the liquid on it. I then found the door handle and opened the door. I looked out side and found out I was in a hallway. It was empty except for a guard at the end. He was on a chair slouching over as if he was asleep. I tip toed over to him, grabbed him by his collar and dragged him to the office. He kicked and tried to scream for help, he had a terrified look in his eyes. I whispered into his ear, "listen, I don't want to hurt you or kill you, I just want some jewels, but if you attack me, I will hurt you. Got it?" he nodded yes, then I whispered back into his ear "I'm going to knock you out with this liquid ok? I am not going to hurt you." Before he could say anything I put the rag on his mouth and held it there for a few seconds. I put him down then took his gun out of his holster. I walked out and headed for the front desk. I walked in front of the cashier, held out the gun and my duffel bag then said, "Put your hands up and fill this bag with jewels." She put her hands up then walked out and said "don't hurt me please, I have 2 kids at home." I nudged her with the barrel of the gun and she took me to the back room. It was filled with jewels of all sorts. Blue ones, green ones, purple ones. Some big and small, others bright and clear. I opened the bag, then I told the woman "get on your stomach and don't look up." She nodded and did so. I got the bag and filled it with a lot of jewels, the bag was incredible heavy after wards. Right when I was going to close it I saw one jewel that caught my attention. It was a blue crystal, about 1 foot long, and had a gleam to it. Rouge would love it. I grabbed it and put it in my pocket. I turned around and saw the woman crying on the floor. I knelt down and picked her up and she said, "if your going to rape me, do it quick." RAPE! I'm not that kind of person. Putting my finger under her chin I said "look I'm not going to hurt you. I know you have kids, I know you don't want to get killed. Trust me; I only want the jewels, not your life or money. When I leave I want you to stay on the ground, count to 100, then get up. Oh and that guard in the hallway, he is alive and not hurt." I got up and she laid down. I grabbed the gun I had, pulled out the clip, and emptied the chamber, and threw it out the door. I then bolted out the door, ran outside, nearly slipping on the floor, and used a telephone poll to reach home. I got out of my "vehicle", and waited leaning on a tree. After a moment, rouge appeared wearing a rain coat, and boots. "You have the jewels?" she said. Nodding I put the bag on the floor and opened it. Her blue eyes went huge. "That's not it." I said as I threw her the blue crystal that I had in my pocket. She caught it then she went to me. She put her arm on the tree and leaned in until she was a inch away from my face. You make my slinky go doing doing doing. she then said, "thank you." Then she flew off. Wow. I just robbed a store and she took the jewels, but I still wondered by what she meant by "make it worth my while."
