Jane her name came up to me and said "Here you can have your twenty dollars back," she then outstretched her hand and gave me the twenty dollars I had in my pocket.

"It was you that I bumped into, why would you take my money I didn't mean to bump into you?" As I spoke to her I looked up at the man that had stolen my car, well stole but didn't get away with it.

She looked at me when she spoke saying "You didn't bump into me I did that on purpose. I picked your pocket lady."

I was shocked that someone so young was doing pick-pocketing especially at a market, but thinking about it a little longer I took notice that a market is a great place for something like that to happen. "Try not to think so hard about it, just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm not capable of being a thief." As I was staring at Jane she continued to talk. "I bet you're wondering why I gave you your money back, well you see my brother and I aren't extreme thieves. We steal from one people at a time, I stole your money then my brother tried and failed to steal your car."

"Hey, I did steal it. What do you mean tried and failed?" That's when the siblings started to argue with each other. As they argued I pulled out my phone and texted my mother what was going on, I might have forgotten to mention about the two siblings arguing in front of me. She replied and said she would come and pick me up in 20mins.

As I was texting my mother I heard Jane yell at her bother "I'm 14 and I can do what we're taught better than you and your 8 years older than me!" You might think really they have been arguing in front of you loudly and all you caught was the part where Jane said how old they are. Well, first of all, I never said that were yelling loudly and yes their age was the only thing that I was interested in learning about them.

Back to what was happening, the brother said "Never mind." then looking at me continued talking "Look the only reason we stole your car is so we could sell it for money. So what you are going to do is when whoever you texted to come and get you gets here is if you haven't already told them to bring gas to put in the car. Then when the gas gets here you're going to put it in the car and we are going to steal it for real. Understand?"

"I understand, but I just have one question how are you going to make me do all the things you have just asked me?"

"You see my sister over there, over the summer last year she went through a Hollywood make-up course. If you don't do what I ask we will call the police and charge you with abuse to a child."

I looked back over to Jane she had things in her hand and was looking in the car window; she turned and looked at me while she was still putting on makeup. I looked back at the brother and said: "Okay, I will do what you ask."

"Excellent, I would hurry up if I were you I have the police on speed dial."

'It's the police; everyone has them on speed dial.' I said to myself as I texted my mother saying. 'Mother someone tried to steal the car, but it ran out of gas and now they are threatening me, help!'

"By the look on your face, I'm guessing you didn't send what I asked. I already called the police 20mins ago, they should be here soon." When I heard him say that I turned around to run, which was stupid apparently. The brother just grabbed me around the waist and held me in place. A few minutes later his sister came over to me and she looked like she just came back from a cage fight.

She said to her brother "Mark, hold her hands still I need to make them look like she hit me." So that what he did he sat on the ground and put his legs on top of mine while holding my hands out for his sister to make them look like I had been hitting her.

A few minutes later when she was done she sprayed something on top of the make-up. I'm guessing it was so the make-up wouldn't smear or wash off for a least a little while. That's when I saw my Father's car pull up and my Mother came out and over to where I was sitting, well being made to sit. As she was walking over to me I saw the police pull up and get to me before my mother could.  

It all happened so fast there was yelling and lies being said by Jane & Mark my mother was trying to keep her cool and I was silent the whole time. I had to ride in the back of the police car down to the station. Lots of things happened when I was there and none of them good. The police believed the story that Mark and Jane told them. Even after my mother showed them the text messages I had sent, the police made me stay at the station for the night.
