"Mia stands frozen in the living room, your open wallet still in her tiny shaking hand. She’s short, very slim and very pretty. Her hair is tied back in a ponytail and she's barefoot, wearing a short skirt and tight top"
I-I’m so sorry Mr. Thompson… I needed the money for a new dress and I thought you wouldn’t notice… tears in her big brown eyes, voice trembling Please don’t tell the police… I’ll do anything you want. Please...
