Stolen

Chapter 3

They don't look back, running down alleyways and dark streets to make sure we lost them. When they finally do stop, they are out of breath, and exhausted, but exhilarated. Mia's eyes are sparkling, and her cheeks are flushed. Trey was tired, but he didnt show it. Instead he took the lead, searching for a new place to steal. Chase wouldn't let them come back with the little money they had now. They needed to steal more.

They basically couldn't steal anything, because all areas were where the rest of the gang were stealing. Trey and Mia walked around, trying to think of a place that hadn't been taken by one of the other groups, but they couldn't. They had to use their last resort. It could be risky, but if you chose carefully enough....

"We'll have to break into a house" said Trey quietly to Mia. "We have to" When Mia have him a scared look. "otherwise Chase will kick us out, and we'll have nowhere to go"

Mia took a deep breath, and nodded, looking around.

"Which house?"

This was the hard part. You shouldn't chose a rich, posh looking house, because it probably had security cameras. But you couldn't chose a poor looking house, because it won't have anything worth stealing.

Trey looked at the row of houses slowly, his eyes narrowed. "We'll take this one" he announced, pointing to a rich looking house with no security cameras or guard dogs.

Mia nodded, and climbed over the gate into the garden. Trey vaulted over and froze, looking for any sign of the owners of the house. When the coast was clear, he signalled to an open upstairs window. Mia's eyes widened as Trey crouched down beside her and held out his hands. Mia stepped onto them, and Trey forced his arms upwards, giving Mia a boost up to the window.

Mia have him one last, final glance, and Trey remembered that she had never burgled a house before. But before he could stop her, Mia had somersaulted through the window, into the empty house.
