Deadly Smiles - Part 4

"And take those things off—they're for pillows!"

The deputy had said once he had gotten out of the cell, and slipped the doll back into his grasp. Turning around, he began to walk way from the cell as the two robbers silently stood.

"I, uh.. guess those fellas weren't—happy!" The larger robber said with a grin, nudging the thin robber next to him with his elbow. "..right, fella?"

The thinner robber glared down at him. With a swift movement, he turned around, and spun back to face the larger thief—shoving the sheetless pillow into his face with a firm movement.

Jack walked back into the room with a sigh escaping his lips, tightening his grasp as the doll hung loosely. He wasn't sure what it was with those new prisoners. Why they were so hell-bent on robbing houses anytime they got the chance. He tried his best to repress his exhaustion as he walked through the conditioned air of the station, and came to a stop.

"..you okay?" John asked as he sat at the desk.

"..yeah. Those two are just at it again." Jack shrugged.

"Mmh.." John shuffled his arms a little more, before sitting up from the chair with a breath escaping his lips. "Okay—all done. Now lets.. le—wa.. ah-choo!" In an instant, he sniffled, and a sneeze escaped him once again.

"Thank you so much! See you soon!"

Kevin said with a grin as he handed over the bag to the small blonde-headed teenager who stood in front of him with two others. He happened to know this teenager, considering this teenager was the little brother of his good friend Radford.

The blonde-headed teenager, Robert, gave a large grin. "Yo, thanks, man!" He took the bag in his mitten-covered hand, and politely smiled up at him.

The three teenagers then turned around, murmuring to eachother as they walked. A smile curled faintly on Kevin's lips. Robert was a nice kid, and his friends seemed to be as well. He wasn't really sure about the one with brown hair though. He stared off into space, letting his thoughts wonder as he began to let himself slip into the usual habit of waiting for another customer to walk in.

But them, his eyes caught sight of something.

In the back of the brown-headed teenagers sweater were several lumps that were sticking out of the fabric. Lumps that were circular. In fact, if he had known any better, Kevin could have sworn they looked like—

"..candy." He muttered. His lips then curled into a snarl, and he gave a sharp shout. "Hey! Stop right there!"

The brown-headed teenager stopped, his lips curled into a shit-eating grin as he giggled at his two friends. Kevin thought Robert would have at least said something, or caught onto the fact that he was stealing candy, but—

"Run, guys!"

The brown-headed teenager yelled that out before taking off toward the exit. Robert and his black-headed friend glanced behind themselves anxiously as if to apologize, and then darted after him.

Kevin growled. "Oh, no, you won't.."

His hands gripped an orange, wet ball from the counter. He had been waiting all night to use this, and had used it previously. Incase of anyone stealing candy from the store, he could always use it to stop them from reaching the exit. And he didn't have any doubts that it would work this time.

Lifting his hand back, he gripped the ball in his fingers, and with a sharp motion, he threw it in the direction of the child. The ball flew into the air. For a few moments it flew still, and then it began to lower. But as it lowered, two other figures entered and..
