Chuckles.

Careful who you do that, kid.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

Everyone's a mark, you know.

[alwaysthefamily.livejournal.com]

Ah, but there might be something you lift that some people would do anything to get back.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but by the time they even know they lost it, I'm gone.

[alwaysthefamily.livejournal.com]

Just be careful, kid. I've seen things happen to kids younger than you that weren't.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

I'm a pro. Been doing this a long time. I can take care of my own.

*grin* But thanks.

[alwaysthefamily.livejournal.com]

Aw, how cute. So young and so cocky.

Just, again, be careful.

[greeneyedspy.livejournal.com]

Not bad kid.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I picked up the new bump from Harry Slide in Queens. It's working for me.

[greeneyedspy.livejournal.com]

I can tell. The cute innocent thing works.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

Every time. If that don't work, then there's the daddy racket. Brings in six bills a month, regular.

[greeneyedspy.livejournal.com]

Nice work kid. Sucks when you start getting bigger though.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

By then, I'll have the T bills paying, and some offshore accounts. I figure I'll move into the higher level stuff, stuff you have to be able to reach the top of the cabinet for, like safe cracking.

How long you been at that?

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

I learned it when I was a little kid. But full time? Couple of years.

[elevenminusone.livejournal.com]

Couple of tips: Walk, don't run. And find an adult and pretend you're with them. Running and a kid sans parent can set 'em off.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

*grin* Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. How long you been working?

[elevenminusone.livejournal.com]

Kinda born into the trade, but I was solo for four years.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

Cool. Always nice to learn from another pro.

Snatches it back as she runs by. Little young for this aren't you?

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

Hey! That's mine! You work your own corners!

*hands on hips* You're a little old to be ripping off a kid, aren't you?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Wallets are little beneath me kid.

Snake laughed and shook his head. Ripping you off or saving that guy from a serious faux pas when he gets in that restaurant? All about perspective.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

His fois gras isn't my problem. Besides, his old lady has a purse that costs a grand. Her credit card will slide just fine.

*holds out her hand, expectantly*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Yeah she did.

Snake looks down at her hand with a grin. You really expect a thief to just turn over what they just lifted? Hell no sweetheart. You got to deal if you want it back.

[artful-goldie.livejournal.com]

Thief? I thought you were the guy at the fish and chip place, who plays Captain Salmon for the kid parties.

*eyeroll* Fine. Seventy thirty, the small side for you, since I did the slide.
