Chapter 12: Time flies

Time had flown so quickly. 10 years have passed.
I found myself transform from a romantic 13-year-old to a fugitive.

I was lurking around a retail store clutching a penknife in my pocket with one hand, hunting for possible targets to steal from. Spotting a rich lady with an open handbag, I slashed it open with my penknife and grabbed all her valuables. Then I took off and ran like the wind just as I heard screams coming from inside the store.

There were shouts and yells coming from security officers behind me. Panicking, I clutched my wig and ran for my life. The officers were gaining on me.
I ran even faster with all my might and turned into an alley. I hurriedly opened a door leading to a spiral staircase and hid. I peered through a tiny hole in the wall near the staircase and saw the officers looking muddled and left to searched someplace else.

The coast is now clear.

I zoomed out of my hiding place and off to my new house, swiftly removing the wig, false teeth and the fake wart on my nose. Jace greeted me smilingly at the door with his usual handsome and charming way. He had matured a lot compared to the past and had grown quite tall. He never knew about me committing crimes daily. I felt guilty for keeping things from him. But it was the only way to make him happy.

Anyways, it was an easy way to earn money rather than running around aimlessly under the hot sun doing worthless jobs that are not worth your time!
With the rich lady's wallet, mobile phone and jewellery from her handbag, I could make a fortune as they were very costly and made of costly materials. I sold them away for a high price afterwards and earned enough to buy another house. This was easy money! If I kept doing this, I could earn some money!!! Heheh

Just then, there was a loud knock on our door. It was a detective warning outside the door, looking grim and serious. Gulp. Maybe I was identified as the criminal. What would Jace say?

"Open up! Open up! Hurry up!" He barked like a mad dog.
Okay okay, fine I will!

"Good afternoon, you are a suspect in a crime regarding pickpocketing and stealing. I need to interview you later. Thank you. " Said the detective.

I was a suspect of the crime. I may suffer dire consequences if I get found out.
