Trap City

E for Emily

    "I need you to run a home security system check for me, please", I begged Catra. She stepped out of the shadow of her room and sighed. As she stepped into the small bit of sunlight her skin glowed and you could see just how dark her hair was. She flipped it back and looked me in the eye. Catra had been my best friend since I could remember. She taught me everything I needed to know about being a bandit. People from Trap City are nicknamed "Bandits". She taught me how to not get caught by "Goodies", or people from RingTown.

    "Fine, who do you need me to run it on", she said walking to one of her computers. Some she had stolen and others she'd built herself. "The council woman", I said. She looked at me with a questioning look on her face. "You want to rob the council woman"? "Yeah, why not, she's gonna be my biggest lick yet". "Everyone knows not to mess with officials". "I know". "Of course you're the only one bold enough to do it". I smiled as she started to type.

    "Her and the council man have 3 cameras the roof, back door, and front door". "Do you see any other ways to get in"? "They have a balcony". "Great, now what's the longest amount of time you can shut off their security system"? "For about 2 hours, so you have to be quick". "I'm always quick", I said winking at her. I left and went back to my place. I stayed in a small abandoned house that I had cleaned up. It looked good. I used make up to cover my scars and put on a long silk black dress with white heels.

    I made my way across the bridge without being seen. When I had gotten to RingTown I got cat called and whistled at. If only they knew I was a bandit. When I got to their house there were two security guards. I threw the paint bomb at them and as they inhaled the fumes they passed out. I put on a gas mask and looked for a way up to the balcony. I jumped and made my way up to the balcony. When I got in the room I started to stuff money and jewelry in my bag. The door opened and I turned around. "What are you doing"?

   It was the council woman. She had pretty fare skin and wavy blonde hair that went to her shoulders. "I'm guessing you're robbing me"? I took off my gas mask and smiled at her. "Yeah, pretty much". "You're a pretty bold one aren't you"? "Yup", I said stuffing more stuff in my purse. She used her super speed to go grab cuffs and come back and put them on me. "Got you, now I'm afraid you can't rob me", she laughed. "What's your name"? "Emily, yours"? "Red eye Mistress".

   "Your real name". "I can't tell you that". "Well it's time for you to go to jail red eye mistress". I broke into her safe and put her money in my bag. "No it's not". "How come, you're already in cuffs". "No I'm not, you are". She looked down at her hands to see the cuffs were now on her. "How did you-". She turned around and saw I was getting ready to leave with her stuff. I kicked her in the stomach, knocking her down. "Do svidaniya", I shouted, jumping out the window. I could already hear sirens. Their security system had came back on. "Stop right there bandit"!
