How did i

Chapter one

"Run faster or we will be in great trouble!" I shouted while trying to look behind me where gang mates  are trying to catch up with me.

"I think we will be caught today!" Sam who was the youngest among us shouted panting.

"Follow me, let's hide behind these bins. I think Sam can get in and we will cover him with these papers." I said as Sam got in the bin and we quickly covered him with smelly bags and papers then we pulled the bin near a corner and situated ourselves behind it.

Immediately we had hidden ourselves, three police officers got near where we were hiding and one of them was dangerously near the bin such that I had to cover Joe's mouth.

"I think that we lost them." One  cop said trying to catch his breath.

"But where could they have gone yet there is no way out of this place?" Another cop asked and I could see the other cops nod in agreement.

"It means that they are still somewhere here and we need to catch them today!"

The search began as they walked from place to place while we held our breaths and stayed still.

"I think they really fled off!" The third cop said and they began walking but before they could go any far, Joe knocked the bin and alerted the cops who came back and found them behind the bin.

"You thought that your very smart didn't you?" The second cop asked as we got up but none of us answered.

"Turn around and raise your hands!"  We looked at each other and gave our signal that we weren't surrendering.

We began fighting the officers but they were stronger and much  skilled than us so we were defeated. The cops got out handcuffs and were about to handcuff us when Sam slowly got out of the bin and grabbed one officer's gun.

"I dare you to handcuff him and I swear I'll kill all of you." He cocked the gun and was about to shoot when they released us. "Give us your guns!" He shouted making them give the guns without hesitation. "Now face the wall and give us your handcuffs." Again they did it without thinking twice.

We quickly took the handcuffs from them and handcuffed them then asked them to close their eyes and count one to one thousands we made sure that they had counted to fifteen then sneaked out of that place until we were back in the streets and mingled with other people.

We quickly ran to our basement which was located amidst many trees making it difficult to locate it.

"Wow Sam! Wow! I mean... How did you do that?" Joe who is the most coward among us asked.

"Not all the people are as coward as you are Joe!" I said mockingly as he shrugged and smiled.

"Seriously Sam! You saved us today." Jimmie said while opening the bag he had been carrying all through.

"I couldn't just stay in there and watch them drag you to prison yet you people are my brothers." He said as we all patted him on the shoulder a thanks.

In the bag were a few phones, jewelry, some shilling notes and a few more electronic items.

"We will divide the money amongst ourselves equally then meet here at exactly nine so that we can take these to the buyer." I said as we began sharing the money.

"Tim?" Joe called making me look at him while pocketing my money. " do you think the cops have our faces by now?"

That startled me but we had masks on so they couldn't get our faces easily but again we all caught them and Joe and Jimmie had handcuffed them,meaning their fingerprints were left on the handcuffs.

"We had masks,  so it will be hard for them to locate us" I said faking courage.

"Ok then guys, let's meet at night and don't be late." Jimmie said as Joe and Sam left.

When we were alone,  Jimmie asked

"Do you think what I think?" I already knew what he was asking so I just nodded And said,

"We only need to hope someone will touch touch those handcuffs and take our fingerprints away." He nodded and we both left and headed our separate ways.

I walked home where I lived with my mother and one sister.

Yes I just completed my highschool studies and in a month's time, I'll be joining college.
