Sollos had said you'd likely have to steal components, so you were prepared to do just that. You dug around in your purse and found exactly what you needed: your brass knuckles! You technically weren't allowed to have them and if Mom found out you'd be punished big time, but they were a prized possession, and you were very proud of the day you'd shoplifted them from the weapon store.
With the speed of a cobra, you slammed your brass knuckled fist into the Radio Shack clerk's head. He was bleeding now.
"What the hell?" He said as he stumbled.
You punched him again, knocking him to the floor. He was out cold.
"Perfect!" You said.
You slipped your brass knuckles back into your purse and casually walked out of Radio Shack as if this were the most normal thing in the world. You thought you had made your escape until a man from Mall Security approached you. It was Officer Randy, one of the meanest and most sadistic people you knew.
"Hey, girly. I saw what you did in Radio Shack. You got guts, I'll give you that, but I'm going to ask to ask you to come to my office." He said.
You knew he would force you to give back the stuff, and probably beat or humiliate you. Going quietly was not an option.
Thinking quickly, you set down the stuff, rushed forward, and kicked Randy in the balls! He doubled over for a moment, but not long enough. The security guard reached for his tazer. You'd seen him apprehend thieves before and liked to go straight for the chest. He seemed to take special glee in using it on girls. You did not want to be tazed, and grabbed at his wrist.
"Ack! Stronger than you look, girly!" He said.
You only growled. He began to elbow you in the face with his other arm. You refused to let this keep you away. You grabbed at Randy's hand with the tazer in it, and pulled at his fingers. With a quick motion you ripped them away, and broke his pinky and ring finger.
"Son of a bitch!" Randy cursed as the tazer fell to the ground.
Thinking quickly, you grabbed the tazer and electrocuted Officer Randy. He let out a howl of pain and stumbled to the ground. Even after he was down, you still zapped him a little more, just to take a bit of sick pleasure in seeing him defeated. You stashed the tazer in your purse, a new weapon to use on your adventures, and a trophy from this victorious moment.
You ran back out through your shortcut all the way home. Mom was near the front door watering her garden.
"Lucy? What's all that mechanical stuff for?" She asked.
"Um... It's for Sollos. He asked me to pick these up for him." You said, only telling her half the truth.
"Well, let me help with that." She said.
Mom telekinetically moved all the stuff inside into Sollos' room.
"Ooh! You're already back!" Sollos said through his mother's body.
"Yeah." You said.
You waited until Mom left to get back to the garden.
"But I don't think I can go to the mall again for a while. Almost got caught." You added.
Sollos didn't seem to care that you had difficulty, only that you had succeeded.
"Well, you've done a good job, cousin Lucy! Now, the other thing we need is the life support system." Sollos said.
Where do you go for that?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
