Chapter 2: Greed
By Angel
�How much does that one cost? Can I see it?� I asked the cashier as he handed me another gold necklace with a diamond in it.
�It�s $20,000" He told me, I new I can�t afford it but that didn�t matter. The question was, can I steal it?
�How about that one?� I pointed to another necklace behind the glass. There were five necklaces out already but in order to steal it, I needed a distraction. He pulled out that necklace and I say that the price tag was a little loose on it. He handed the necklace to me as I tried it on. I slid my fingers through the tag and it easily fell off. �I love it.� I said, �I�ll buy it, how much is it?� I asked as I handed the necklace to the cashier.
�There�s no price on it.� He stated in confusion.
�I think it fell to the flood, I think I saw it fall.� I misled him. He bend down and tried to find the price tag that I secretly held in my hand, it gave me enough time. I took the $20,000 necklace and I ripped the price tag off of it, then I put the necklace in my pocket.
�I�m sorry miss, I can�t find it anywhere.� The cashier stated.
�That�s ok, I�ll come back next time, maybe then I�ll find something that I�ll like.� I told him as I walked out of the store. I got what I wanted and it was right in my pocket.
While on the street, I was happy about my success, I stole again and no one even saw me. I looked around and a sight of beautiful leather and fur came to my attention. It was cold on that street anyways, I went into the fur and leather coat store. It was harder to steal from this store but maybe I�ll get a purse or a wallet if someone isn�t careful.
The sight of a blond woman got my attention. She was looking through the leather section. Her purse was constantly falling off of her shoulder. �Sonny, come here.� The woman called all the way across the store as a handsome man emerged.
�What?� The man said when he came closer to that woman.
�Try this on, I want to see if it fits.� The woman told the man and she still tried to fuss with her purse. She finally took her purse off and put it on a coat rack as she handed the man the coat. I pretended to be looking around for a coat until the man and the woman were more distracted.
�It�s fits perfectly but it�s not my type.� The man said.
�It is perfect, just please try it. Who knows, you might actually like leather.� The woman told him as she leaned in for a kiss. That was the perfect distraction. I opened that woman�s purse and pulled out her wallet. I then left the store.
I was on the street again as I opened up the wallet to see if there was any money in it. It was full of cash and credit cards. I pulled out the woman�s drivers licence to find out what is her name. �Caroline Leah Corinthos� it said. If I only would have known then that stealing that woman�s wallet would lead to the biggest mistake of my life.
