" People apparently. Here's what they have to say. 'Having them out again makes me wanna hide my children, who knows what they'll steal next' . " Link read.

" We would never do that. "

" ' They won't last long on my yard. One word, shotgun. ' "

" That's scary, let's avoid that guy. "

" It's a 26 year old woman. " Link laughed.

" People act weirdly sometimes, that's life you know. " Rhett smiled and sat down at the table.

Link closed the newspaper and took a sip from his cup of coffee. Him and Rhett didn't really have any upcoming jobs, they wanted to stay out of trouble for a couple of months. But he already missed the thrill of stealing. It was like an addiction.

" Now that we're free again, maybe we should live the sweet life. You know, chill out and enjoy all the good things in life. " Link said.

Later the same day Rhett and Link were out in the backyard. Rhett had drifted away a little, napping in the hammock. Link sat in a chair, simply enjoying the sunshine. Suddenly, out of nowhere gunshots were heard and one of the windows at the top floor broke into a million little pieces that rained down towards Link. Luckily he was quick enough to get out of the chair, the glass pieces barely missed him. His heart poundered in his chest, making him loose his breath. Rhett woke up and rushed over to Link.

" Link?! Are you okay? What happened?! "

Link didn't answer, he just stared at the shiny pieces of glass in front of him and tried to regain his breath. Rhett held both of his hands on Links shoulders and looked around, he noticed the whole in the window and the glass in front of them.

" Let's get you inside. " He said and carefully pushed Link in front of him.
