Everything happened in the blink of an eye, one moment Islinda was bidding Gabi goodbye and the next her money was missing. She had to applaud the thief though, he was swift and Islinda would not have noticed except she once lived in the slums and was used to these petty shenanigans, which was no wonder she quickly realized with a sinking feeling that her purse had been stolen. Damn it! She should have hidden that in her boobzies!
Without hesitation, Islinda acted on instinct, shoving Prince Wayne into Gabi's surprised arms and darting after the fleeing thief. "Hey! Get back here!" Islinda yelled.
As the boy realized he had been caught, he quickened his space.
"Oh, damn you little thing!" Islinda cursed under her breath. Anger and adrenaline surged through her veins, propelling her forward with an unnatural speed that matched the boy's own agility.
