HOOKING IS FOR LOSERS

CHILLI DOG

3rd person POV

$3.75 is your total" said the man behind the counter. Teresa looked over at Charlie, he looked at her with a shrug. Almost saying they had no money. Digging in her coat pockets, she pulled out a crinkled five dollar bill. "Keep the change" said Charlie in a rushed voice as he grabs the bag and the young girl's hand.

Running to the alleyway  where their friends are, trying to find a purse in the dumpster. "What do you think?" Asked Karp in the alley.

Averman jokingly responded "Lovely, karp, it goes with your eyes."

"You gonna take that from him, karp" Peter chimed in to the conversation. "No. Remind me to bust your head, Averman." replied Karp

Teresa laughed as her and Charlie entered the alley. "Did you get it?" Karp asked Charlie, "yeah! right there!" exclaimed Charlie. Just then a dog walked in the back of the alley.

"Here Petie. Here boy" Karp said in a high-pitched voice, "A little chili to keep you warm, bubby." He continued.

The boys started taking the dog as he ate the can of chili. When the dog finished eating the chili and the can, he started running out of the alley. The boys chased after the dog, Teresa followed the boys. 

"I can't believe he ate the can too." Peter said with excitement and curiosity in his voice. Averman started narrating the dog's actions "He sniffs... he sniffs again. Looking for that perfect place. He sniffs some more. He stops." The boys watched in excitement as Teresa turned away as the dog took a shit. 

Charlie looked at Teresa as Averman and Karp tried to get the shit in the purse. "You can head to the pond if you want." Charlie said in a kind but concerned voice, "No way, I want to see what idiot picks up the purse." She responded with a laugh. 

"Full load" Averman said with a groan, as he put it on the side of the road. "Hurry it up already." Peter rushed him. Teresa hit Peter's arm, "Don't rush him, dickhead." Peter gave her a glare.

Averman put a dollar at the opening of the purse, "go, go, go" "let's go" the boys yelled as they started to hide. Hiding behind a truck, they all watched as a red Ferrari drove past and stopped by the purse. Averman started to sneak to the front to watch the driver pick up the purse, everyone followed him as got to the front of the truck. "He's taking off with it" Karp said stating the obvious.

"This guy deserves what he gets," Peter says as he turns around, giving Teresa a high five. "Hell ya!"

The man gets in his car and drives off. The kids run to the middle of the road and watch and the man stops the car and throws the purse out with a scream, the boy laughs at the man's reaction as he looks back from his car to see them laughing. "Run!"exclaimed Teresa, as the man chased them with the car. 

They hopped fences and crawled through something, speed walking over a plank of wood. Up a ladder onto a roof as they watched the man land in a split position on the wood, landing in some slush. 

They climbed off the roof, laughing as they walked to the frozen pond, "did you see his face, he was all" Peter said as he made a face. Teresa patted Averman on the back, just as they got to the pond "Averman I think this was the best one yet." 

The boys were still getting on their skates as Teresa got on the ice and skated over to her best friend and the only other girl on their hockey team Connie, "Hey Connie",she said passing the puck.
