"The Package Heist"
By B.P.
It was a normal day for Brian. He had just finished dropping off a letter and was on his very last delivery. The last address took him to a seedier part of town where he was to deliver a very expensive looking package.
Once he arrived at the address, he discovered that the was no house there, but instead he discovered an empty lot with weeds cropping up in between cracks in the pavement. He was beginning to think that he had been set up.
He wrote a note about the clearly mis-addressed package on his clipboard and he made his way back to his car. Someone tapped him on the shoulder. Brian must have jumped four feet in the air. He turned a round slowly and discovered that an army of scary looking men were coming out of the woodwork
“Don’t get any closer!” Brian yelled. They got closer.
“You better leave me alone or… I’ll-I’ll-” Brian fainted.
When he came to, Brian was in the back of a truck with his hands zip-tied around his back. The vehicle came to a screeching halt, and the men dragged him outside, then into a filthy ware house. A huge man stood behind a desk in in the center of the structure. When he noticed that Brian had arrived he bent down to and set a diminutive girl in pink on the top of the table.
“All right ” the little girl said with the highest pitched voice you could imagine. “hand over that package” Brian did so without hesitation.
The second the girl had the package in her hands she ripped at the packaging with an intensity that made Brian cower in fear. When the last of the packaging was ripped to shreds she held a top of the line doll.
“EEEEEEEEK!!!!” She squealed in joy. “lets go dad! Our work here is done!”
Her father sighed and walked out the door behind her.
“Guys?” Brian called. “GUYS?!? You forgot to untie me!!” Brian stood up shakily and began potato-sack-hoping back to his apartment.
