The Phantom Thief by Snowrabbit (fun to read .txt) 📕

plan had been discarded the moment I had heard that my feelings actually weren’t rejected.
“Just tell them I told you that the thief doesn’t work alone or something like that... it sounds not all too stupid but won’t actually help, as my siblings are way too intelligent to get caught by them

.”
“Fine... it’s your fault anyway if it’s not helpful, you were being the annoying one here.”, he answered, smiling slightly.
“Exactly! But...” I hesitated shortly. “What should I do now? I mean I could continue stealing, but...”
Alan thought about it.
“You know what? Just continue stealing like before.” I looked at him, confused, before he added: “But if I catch you - and I mean really catch you, not because you want me to or some kind of stupid mistake - you’ll stop stealing altogether, okay?”
Surprised, I thought it over. It actually didn’t sound very bad and the chances of him catching me weren’t too big, still it would be a challenge and if he would

catch me, he’d probably not turn me in, so I could still think about something else to do if that happened. So I nodded.
“Fine. I promise.”
He smiled. “Great. And now, off with you, I still have a lot of work to do and I have to do a report to write down the information you just told me.”
I nodded. “Okay. See you later, I’ll visit you!” But before I went away I thought about something. “If you’re nice, maybe I’ll even give you my phone number!” Grinning, I winked at him, before I put the same expression on that I had, when I arrived (My acting skills thankfully weren’t that bad when I needed them) and left the station without anyone - except Alan of course - noticing, that their famous thief had just been amongst them.
I loved my life.
