*************************************** Nicole's Point of View***********************************

I woke up and looked at the clock on the bedside table, it read 7:38 am. I sighed before pulling the duvet off me and climbing out of the bed. I showered and got dressed in a light pink vest top and a cream coloured knitted jumper and some light blue skinny jeans paired with some white converse. I pulled on a cream coloured beanie and walked out of the motel. I locked the door and walked to town. I bumped into a few people and took their wallets or purses and took the money out before dumping them.

Once I was in town, I took the money I had collected and counted it all. I had gotten just over eighty dollars, I put it all in my back pocket and got into a taxi.

"Can you take me to McRorys bar please?" I asked to which the driver nodded and pulled off. After fifteen minutes we stopped and I looked out to see a small bar with a sign above it reading McRorys bar. I thanked the driver and handed him the money before climbing out. I walked to the door and hesitated for a minute before opening it and walking inside.

I looked around and saw Mr Ford sitting at a booth with a woman that I recognized from the other day. I walked over to them and stood by the booth

Mr Ford and the woman looked up and smiled at me before gesturing for me to sit which I did slowly.

"So you decided to join the team?" Mr Ford spoke softly.

"I don't work well in a team. But I want to learn to be a better thief and you said you would help me. So I am willing to try." I answered, my voice confident. He nodded slowly before looking towards the woman and smiling.

"Deal. Will you tell us your real name?" He asked and I hesitated. "You don't have to if you don't want to." He added quickly. I shook my head.

"Nicole Davies." I said slowly. Mr Ford smiled at me.

"Hi. I'm Sophie. I'm the team's grifter and sometimes run the cons instead of Nate." The woman spoke in an English accent. I nodded and smiled at her, I was still wary of them, but I want to become a better thief so I will try to get along with them. "We'll take you to meet the rest of the team properly now if you like." She continued and I took a deep breath before nodding at her. They both stood up and started to walk towards the back of the bar and I followed them quickly. We walked up some stairs and opened a door. I walked through it and stood close to Sophie and Mr Ford.

"Hey!" I heard someone call from above me. I looked up and saw the blonde girl whose name I thought was Parker hanging upside down from the rafters.

"Parker come down and meet Nicole." Sophie spoke softly as if she were talking to a child. Parker listened and pulled herself upright before jumping down.

So guys, I am so sorry for the wait and I hope that this chapter is worth it. I didn't really know how to write this chapter and I have lost the original so had to try and do it again. Please vote comment and follow because it means the world to me :-) xoxo
