5 Golden Rings
True stood by the counter waiting as patiently as possible for Mrs Potter to finish helping a customer. They had been looking at the case with five gold rings for ten minutes now. She didn't understand what was taking so long.
"May I please see that one again." The man asked, pointing to the second ring from the left.
"Certainly."
The man inspected it for a moment and handed it back to Mrs Potter. "And that one as well." He pointed to the one next to it.
True sighed loudly. Seriously? All of the rings were gold and looked exactly the same! Mrs Potter gave her a scolding look which caused her to look away. If she really didn't want this candy she would just leave.
"I am going to have to think about this. I want to be sure I get the perfect ring for my beau." The man handed the ring back and Mrs Potter placed it back into the case and locked it. Just as she went to pick the case up and place it back on the shelf, the man grabbed it and ran.
True immediately sprang into action and tripped the man as he ran by. Less than one second later she had him face down with both hands tied behind his back by a stray piece of twine she found on the floor.
Mrs. Potter looked on in shock. "How did you…"
"Vin's been teaching me how to Indian wrestle." She lied smoothly. "And I've watched the guys enough to know how to tie someone up."
Mrs Potter was more concerned about the five gold rings so accepted the plausible explanation without question. She sent her son to get one of the lawmen and then pulled True into a hug. "Thank you! As a reward you may have the candy you chose for free."
"For real? Thanks Mrs Potter!"
True ran out of the store with a huge smile on her face. If this was the reward, she would have to keep a closer eye on the store from now on!
