Hi,
Hope all are enjoying the cooler weather. Rained here all
weekend, but last week there was nice days to open the windows.
This weeks’ phrase isn’t really unique, but the scene I
wrote for it is a bit unusual for my writing style. Hope you all enjoy it and
remember:
Let your imagination soar when your read.

“Charlie! We have to go. Now!”
Danna couldn’t believe she’d gotten herself into such a
predicament. Charlie, the Mayor’s daughter swore no one was home. Why had she
listened to her? The girl was a class A
liar with daddy issues.
Sirens blared as the police rushed to silence the alarm. Her
ass was grass if she got caught and charged with breaking and entering. There
might be two doing the crime, but only one would get pinched for it.
“Stop tugging on my arm. They’re not coming here. I set the
alarm off a block away.”
Like she was gong to believe that. “Either get your ass a
moving, or I’m leaving.”
“Such a baby.” Charlie snatched up a piled of cash from the
safe. “Here, this’ll ease your nerves.”
She looked down at the stack of hundreds paper bound
together. Sure was more than she’d ever seen in her life. Wasn’t worth going to
jail over.
“I’m leaving, coming?”
“Not until I have what I came for.”
“Charlie, you’ve got a shit load of money, you don’t even
need. What else do you want?”
The sirens were getting louder and louder. Reds and blues
flashed from the main road, but instead of two wheeling into the driveway of
the second biggest mansion in town they barreled by it.
“Told you. Have a bit of faith in me.” Half of Charlie’s arm
disappeared into the six-foot high safe. “There’s the beauty.”
Donna stared at the rock Charlie held in front of her.
“This is worth more than either of us could spend.”
Donna stared stunned as Charlie stuffed the chunk of
expensive rock into a black velvet bag she pulled from her pocket.
“Now, we can go.”
We left the way we came in and headed back to her car.
Entire trip back all Donna thought of was, ‘Diamonds
Are a Girls Best Friend’.
