A Bad Situation.

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

I slowly walk through the front door, and hear it slam shut and locked behind me. I walk to my ‘room’, but get stopped from the lump in front of me that is Josh. I nod to him, and try to walk around him, but he grabs my shoulders and put me in front of him, a hard grip still on my shoulders.

“Yes Josh?” I sighed.

“You still need your punishment” He said, looking deep into my eyes.

“You’re not going to rape me are you?” I said seriously.

He chuckled slightly before saying,

“No, nothing like that. We aren’t them kind of people you know Lacey” He sounded truthful, but I had my doubts.

“Well then what?” I said suspiciously.

“You’re good at stealing right?” He said slowly, after a moment of silence.

“I guess” I muttered.

“We need a few supplies from the store, but we don’t want to pay for them. We need the money for other things” He said, leading me to his room.

“Like what” I said, raising an eyebrow.

“None of your business. Now come here, I have the list. But soon the others will come and bring their own personal list. So this list has the basic necessities and things for me. Oh, and you can get something if you want”

“I could buy it all with my money, I have about a thousand dollars” I said.

“No, keep that for yourself”

“Whatever, but how is this a punishment” I asked, wondering.

“Well, first the risk of getting caught, and also, knowing the personal things we need to get. They can get a bit, odd” He said smiling. I scoffed and went to my room to get changed. I grabbed a hooded, light grey jumper, some black tights, and a black peace t-shirt. I brush my messy hair and put it up into a ponytail. I grab my purse and put $50 in it, and walk back to Josh’s room. Everyone was there, waiting patiently for me to return, with their lists. I grabbed them and headed for the door, putting on my shoes along the way. The walk to the shop took about 5 minutes. When I finally got there I went to Woolworths and pulled out the main list.

Basics:

Toilet Paper

Shampoo & Conditioner

Soap

Toothpaste

Deodorant

Not that much. I guess I will just pay for them. Way too hard to steal. I grab a basket and head to the aile which will have all of these items. I walk down it and get all these stares from everyone. I tried to ignore it but they kept staring at me. Once I got everything, I was walking to the checkout before someone came up to me. She had short, red hair that curled a bit at the bottom. She looked about my age, maybe a year younger. She had light brown eyes that looked almost golden, and behind her trailed a 5 year old girl that looked exactly the same. She cowered behind the older girl who looked hesitant to speak.

“Yes” I said.

“I, was wondering, is your name Lacey Fare?” She said, before shuffling back a few steps. Wait, how did she know my name? And why was she scared about talking to me.

“I don’t know, why do you want to know?” I ask cautiously.

“Because she’s all over the news for breaking and entering. The other night. And if it’s you, I would leave, now. The cops are on their way and are prepared to arrest you.” Wow, this is not good. And I did not break and enter. It’s my own house! But I really should get out.

“Okay, but why are you helping me? If cops are after me, won’t they be after you for helping me get away?” I say, ready to leave.

“Uh, well, because im a big fan of you and want to join you wherever you are hiding” She said quickly.

“Oka, first of all, I need our name and age, and who is that?” I say, looking around, making sure here are no cops coming yet.

“Im Tammy and this is Timmy. She’s 4 and im 14. We are really big fans of yours. Please let us join you.” She said, almost begging on her knees. I was about to say no, until I saw 3 cops coming our way.

“Uh, are you guy’s fast runners?” I say, panicking slightly.

“I guess, why?”

“Because we gotta RUN!” I said before sprinting towards the exit, basket sill in hand. I run out of Woolworths and check behind me. Timmy and Tammy are right behind me. I turn my head around and notice im running past a sport shop. Yes. I quickly duck in and grab the most expensive skateboard there is. I jump on and skate outside, and Timmy and Tammy are in front of me. I ell out he directions to a place to meet hem, and skate faster to meet her there, once I see her understanding nod. I look back and see the cops trying to keep up with us, and thank god the girls can run. I keep riding until I turn a corner, but then something stops me in my tracks.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chap :)
