“Are those them?”
Mark pointed to the two girls shopping.
I said they were, and he nodded.
“Let’s do this.”
The big guys went up to them, “We’re giving
away free phones! If you have a student ID,
you can get an iPhone for ninety–nine

When they looked hesitant, he added, “We
have a raffle going on inside. You can win a
prize!”
Their eyes lit up, and they followed him.
After going inside, the front door slammed
shut.
I sat and looked at them change.
“What? What do you want?”
“What do I want?” I grabbed a knife. “What
do you think I want?”
They backed up, “You’ll go to jail!”
“So what? It’s worth it.”

“You!” They finally realized I was serious
about hurting them and started screaming
their lungs out.
“Help! Somebody! Help me!!!”
I stood back and let them scream.
After about three minutes, their voices were
hoarse, and their hope was gone.
“Don’t kill me! Wendy made us do it. If I didn’t
mess with Sarah, she would mess with me!
Please, I know I messed up, I really do!”

They were on their knees, grabbing my legs.
I kicked them off, one by one. “Save that for
the Devil.”
I swung the knife down.
Clang!
The blade slammed into the wall, sending
sparks flying.
At the same time, a nasty, sour smell filled
the air.
They’d pissed themselves.
