Cleansing A Sinful Heart-Season 1

Chapter 2: Gettin' Away with Murder

After Zac stared the girls with his widened eyes an mouth opened for a few seconds, he immediately turned his serious attention to those mutts. "Come on, guys! Let's go! Let's go! LET'S GOOO!"

He quickly and nervously pulled the dogs back on the leash, making them turn around, while those girls chased after him. He imagined those girls taking him to the authorities after they'd gotten their money, turned him in to the authorities, and the possibility of either being grounded by his parents, or even worse, spending years in prison.

-Come on! Come on! Come on now! I don't have time for this kind of bullshit! I'm going to make those mutts regret having me as their dog walker, if those bitches successfully catch me!

Then he was finally able to turn them around and managed to run away from those young women.

-Whew-wee! That was a close one! Now let's lose these two for real, or they'll take my money!

"Hey, you con artist! We're not going to allow you to get away with this!" The other one roared in a chase.

He finally entered an alley a bit farther away from the corner of the building where those youngsters wouldn't see him. He looked everywhere throughout the silent alley with sweat pouring down his face. His heart pounded harder as fear took over his mind continuously, until he discovered an old, abandoned house near an old, depressed building. Lots of little vines covered most of the small, white house, the gates weren't present to surround it, and a tree stared at Zac and the hounds.

-Looks like I might hit a jackpot. I hope it's not locked.

As soon as Zac walked toward the house and opened the brown door, he looked around the room. He grinned excitedly.

-Sweet! I'm in.

He noticed a living room on the right, a kitchen on the left, a hallway leading to one room with the door closed and the bedroom. The little vines, dust and very little sunlight covered the majority of the house, when the old, dirty curtains blocked the sunlight. The air felt cool inside it. He then looked at the tykes below and patted each one on the head.

"Alright, you guys did a great job listening to me so far today, and I couldn't be any prouder," He whispered. "All you have to do is to remain quiet, so that we won't get caught by those girls, Okay? If you guys just remain quiet and we don't get caught, I'll give you guys doggie treats as a reward."

He heard a couple of footsteps enter the alley behind him after the hounds happily looked at him. He turned around and saw those girls' shadows on the ground.

-Oh, great...these bitches are coming...

He immediately shut the door, leaned against it, and pulled the dogs' leash back a bit. He moved his eyes sideways as sweat came down from his forehead and his eyes widened a bit more. The mutts began to pant as he fearfully stood still.

"OK, where's that scam artist at? He has to be here somewhere," One girl said.

"Let's go split up," The other one agreed. "I'll check this side, you look over the other side."

"Great idea."

They moved their eyes sideways without spotting him or the dogs. They searched everywhere but failed, even when they asked people for my whereabouts. Those girls then revealed their sad faces as they turned their attention towards one another.

"Ah, damn it! I think we lost him!" The other one said.

"Yeah, me too," One girl agreed. "Let's get out of here then while we can."

"Mhm."

After the other one shocked her head in agreement, those youngsters left the alley. He sighed and held up his body and breath in a clutch, as relief washed over him, patting the dogs on their heads.
