The phone went dead. Efren and Greta stared at each other, for a dramatic pause. "Why are they after us all of a sudden?", asked Efren. Greta glared at him. "I don't know! Why do I need to know damn everything!". She threw the phone on the wall, leaving a tiny dent. Tear welled inside her eyes. He tried to comfort her, she pushed him away. "I haven't been in entirely honest with you". Her hand wiped the tear away. "What?", Efren said trying to keep his voice together. From it all. "I have been stealing again". God no! "Greta why?!". Greta slapped herself. "We are criminals, it's our life". She collapsed on the bed. "I wasn't born for this world, it's my family's fault". Nobody had brought up that subject for years. "I beg your forgiveness husband". Her hand touched his. For some reason he didn't flinch. The feel was warm and a numbing sense came to him. "What have you stolen?". Her body twisted in a heap. "The couch, money, drugs for the business, computer. Efren... I stole everything". He hugged her close. "No you didn't, we bought all of things together". Well.
"We did steal some together", laughed Efren.
"Your right", sniffled Greta.
"Hey I thought you didn't approve of my trade".
"I didn't approve because getting busted by the cops would set us back. But you know...".
Her sobs started once again. They lay in bed together, close as can be.
