At night

•Autumn of Eight Years After •

"Get that bastard"

"Get that...."

I jumped through the fence immediately his voice came up. It was midnight, I was already drenched with perspiration, running down from my face, to my neck. Getting into the Bitters mansion hadn’t been easy, it was the hardest of all. I’ve broken into. But there hasn’t been a mission I’ve failed. The cash from his drawer would buy a lot of new fancy watches and gold bracelets like I was gonna wear them.

I knew who my target was, and aimed, making sure I doesn’t miss.

That’s has been life for me. And the only way I enjoyed it.

Running out of the house. It didn't take them a few seconds before they began running after me. I wasn’t wrong when I said it, the men at his mansion were trained, like soldiers. Always ready.

Whatever they were ready for.

I clutched tightly to the envelope containing the cash. Never letting go. With this, I could live big!

Though I was living big, Let’s say bigger.

"Stop right there.!"

Only a moron would do that.

I sniggered.

“Go to Hell!” I said that I don’t care, let them get me if they could. Which I doubt would happen.

I Continue running. For my victory!

All my life I had been running that was what I learned to do. Running from everything, whether it was after me or not I was always running And there was no way they could get me. Because running was my thing.

"If you want us to be easy on you, you better stop now. You little rat.”

"Or else what.!"

I yelled. Back. Throwing my neck backward, so I could see their faces but they couldn’t see mine. I covered my face properly with the face cap. And the mask I had on.

My face was everything.

And no one must see it.

About three huge men were running towards me. Almost closed up, two were behind them, which appears to be bouncers.

Couldn’t believe being sent bouncers after me.

Just a turn was what I needed to get out of here and not get caught, seeing my victory right in front of my eyes. I smiled and stretched my hands like I was holding my escape. But I needed to mock my enemies I turned and smirked.

"Get me will you..."

Someone crushed into me with a bike.

I didn't see that coming.

But I did see myself falling. Bam! My butts hit the ground with force.

That hurts.

Darn it!

Who could have done that? Deliberately delivered me into the hands of my enemies.

I glared hard at the tall and lanky teenager.

I couldn't see his face, the only thing I could see was his beautiful grey eyes. Which I had to admit Because he was masked up like I was.

The envelope slipped off my hands flying in the air. Like a kite. I lift my hands trying to catch them, I wanted to stand up but I couldn’t.

"Ohh.!"

I gasped watching it. Almost getting down. Who was gonna get it? Our focus was on the envelope dancing in the air. Watching us as we struggle, on who was gonna get it.

"You!"

I growled.

"You should watch where you're going." He replied, I knew he smirked. With the way, his eyes looked down at me with mischief.

"You crushed into me moron."

"You're a crazy bitch."

"Jerk!"

Did he see through my disguise? He couldn't right. No one knew I was a girl in disguise.

That was my secret.

He caught the envelope and held it while staring down at me.

“You want this?”

“Give it to me.”

I jumped up.

Fighting to get the envelope from his hands, he was taller than I was. So it was kind of difficult to get it from his hands.

“Give it back, it’s mine.”

I turned and saw them running. They are almost here.

Am so dead.

He noticed where my gaze was and he saw the men coming over to us. They had caught us.

"Not so fast..."

I gulped and slowly lift my head to look at him. His dark eyes shoot dagger at me.

I cracked my knuckles. Ready for a fight. A man like this would beat me into a pulp. But I won’t give up so easily.

"You little thing. Bring back the envelope you stole.”

That imbecile caused this.

"Give me the damn envelope!”

“I don’t have it.”

I have been working hard for this night. And there's no way am giving it all up.

"Be good if you wanna leave here alive."

"Give it to me."

There was no way out.

I posed ready for a fight.

“Looking for this?” I heard the guy with the bike say. He waved the envelope in the air.

“There’s sure a lot of fistfuls of cash in here.”

“Get that boy, bring an envelope.”

The two bouncers rush towards him. He moved away from her bike. And throw the envelope towards me, I hop a little and got hold of it.

“What’s this, some child’s play?”

He punched the bouncer in the face, jumped, and kicked him. In the head. He staggered backward, the other bouncer was on my tail.

He hit me with his fist, I wasn’t able to duck quickly, I fell back. Still gripping the envelope, the others watched us, I jerk up and gave him a height-length kick.

We both fought the bouncers, who were quite bigger than us, but we did give them. A little treat.

He was a good fighter. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw him strangle the bouncer with the towel around his neck.

The bouncer crocked. And stretched, hitting his hands to let go.

He punched his nose, till it began bleeding.

Then we heard the cops siren.

“What the cops, who called the cops.”

"Let's go. It's the cops."

The defeated bouncer stood up from the floor, I was still tied to the other bouncer, who was on top of me.

He came to my rescue, pulled him away from me.

I thought he was gonna help me up but he took the envelope from my hands.

I studied him. There must be something to identify him with. Something. But there was nothing at all.

When he turned. And began approaching me in a threatening way. I took my stand. Not sway with fear.

"Come on!"

They hurried away.

"Let's not cross paths ever again." He threatened.

“Wait, What, give me back!” I yelled, but he had already hopped on his bike and drove away.

“You should run!” He advises.

“Bastard!” I cussed and stamp my feet on the ground.

Did he perhaps call the cops?

But why?

******

I arrived home all sweaty it was six in the morning. I climbed through the window as always. And successfully landed in my room.

I quickly pulled off my disguise cloth and hide them. And Put on my nightie.

"You're late for school miss flower."

"Oh Gawd!"

This old witch. Good thing she didn't see me in my disguise cloth.

"Mrs. Lane"

"I was suspended remember."

"That was two weeks ago. It's Monday. You're resuming today. Your uniform has been Changed and your desk in school as well. "

I sighed and sat on the bed. I was comfortable. I have everything except love, happiness, and family.

And I blossom at day and fade at night.

A secret that would always be mine.

A thief I am.
