Chapter three: How it ended

Yes its true, Snow was arrested. But its not really what you think. This was a few years latter and the little scam wasn't really so little... Or a scam at all. The plan was elaborate but the aim wasn't to get any large sum on money. It was a challenge really, you see there was this gang of delinquents that didn't like us to much, and we regularly challenged each other to challenges. The challenges started small but started getting bigger and bigger. We both thought we were better than the other, me and Snow were much more skilled then the spoiled kids that thought they were gangsta, with there expensive cloths and general gay appearance.

So anyway, it started a few months after me and Snow joined forces. They saw us stealing and thought it would be fun to 'show us up and decide who was the real bad ass of the town.' It started with small challenges, steal a pack of gum from a overly paranoid shop owner before the other team. The shop itself was fulled with at least seven cameras, and this was just a small corner store.

The task was easy, Snow distracted the store owner and I blocked the cameras and walked out with a few packs of gum. The "Cool dogs of epicness" as they called themselves, sent in a solo kid who was caught and thrown out of the store. It took them three more tries to finally get it. Naturally there response was "You got lucky, best two out of three."

The next task they decided on was to see who could steal a lunch out of an offices fridge without being caught. They thought they could do it easy because one of them was the son of the manager at the office. He forgot his dad wasn't working that day.

This task was good fun, Snow went in and asked were the restrooms were and scouted out the place. When he came back he told me that the kitchen was right behind the front desk and the fridge was in the far left corner. He also got a look at the times for the lunch brakes, if I hurried I could just make it in and out before anyone was there. I went in and used the same excuse Snow had, I say three of the other team in there as well. One of them was asking for his father and the others were looking around for the kitchen. I ducked behind a corner before they saw me. I made my way to the kitchen and opened the fridge. There was some good stuff in there, spaghetti, some seafood, and some sort of soup. Naturally I snagged the seafood. It was in a nice chines takeout box and I stashed it under my shirt. On my way out one of the kids saw me and yelled "Look, shes stealing food from the kitchen!" I just starred at him blankly. Some of the employs glared at the kid and told him to stop yelling and that a nine year old wouldn't be stealing food from an office building. I had to fight to bite back laughter. People were so stupid. They did, however, wonder where my parents were. And I sort of just hid behind a nice looking couple who had just come in and pretended to be theirs. They were confused, the the security just shrugged and assumed I was with them.

I walked out and tossed the box of food to the leader of the "Cool dogs of epicness."

"There ya are, I hope you like chines food."

The kid glared at me for a minute and started laughing. He shook Snow's hand.

"Fair enough, but I want a rematch next year." Me and Snow both agreed.

It wasn't a year though, we started challenging each other on a monthly bases. Me and Snow won most of the stuff, but they got in a few wins here in there. They weren't so bad, they were friendly challenges... Well friendly meaning we weren't trying to prove we were better than each other, we dropped that after the first few rounds, they weren't to friendly to the poor people we scammed and stole from though. This went on for years, until that one day when we went to far.

The challenge was strait forward enough, we were to have lunch on the top floor of a very wealthy business, picking some food up on the way there. Me and Snow gladly excepted and started planning, we loved the challenges. It gave us something challenging to do and it was rather fun to see the look on peoples faces when you turn up in there hotel room bathtub. That one came up many times over the years.

I was twelve when this one happened, Snow was fifteen. We met James in front of the building. James was the leader of the "Cool dogs of epicness." They changed the name of there group to "White fire" a year or so after we started the challenges. We had become fairly close friends to James in the years we knew him, he had never gotten caught and his family didn't care so much what he did so we saw him regularly.

"You ready for a good challenge?" He asked us as we walked up.

"Are you ready to loose a good challenge?" Snow asked him with a laugh.

James grinned. "We shall see, mate."

"The plan is to get the the top floor of that twenty story high building, and eat lunch in the main meeting room. There are no meeting planned there today, so all you need to do is get up there and grab some food on the way. Once there we shall dine and then get out before they I.D. us then brag about it to each other. Any questions?"

Me and Snow looked at each other. We knew each other very well and knew what the plan was just by that one look. We had pulled something like this once before but on a much smaller scale. We had been looking forward to this event for a few weeks now, and had already scouted a good way up. This was being planned for two weeks in advance because of the magnitude of it, giving the everyone participating a chance to plan for it. This was something we rarely did, but we had done it once of twice before.

"You ready, James?" I asked giving him a evil smirk.

"Me and my boys were born ready."

"They lets do this!" Snow called and we advanced on the building.

Our plan was simple enough, the kitchen was on the fifth floor so we would take the elevator there looking like we had every right to be there, most people wouldn't question us. We would grab some food and make out way to the stairs. There was a lot of security in this building, and we knew it would be rather bad to get caught.

The first part of the plan went off without a hitch, we got some food and made out way to the stares. I looked out a window a almost burst out laughing as I saw James and two other kids riding a window washing platform up the side of the building. James saw me and winked.

Me and Snow hurried up a bit, but didn't run or look like we were in a hurry. We were wearing out best clothing, and looked like normal kids. We took a chance and used an elevator to go up to the second to last floor, the elevator wouldn't go all the way up unless you had a special key card that we hadn't managed to get a hold of. We walked around a corner and right into a security guard. He grabbed our arms and glared at us.

"What are you two doing up here?" He asked in a deep voice.

"My father called for me." Snow bluffed.

"Who's your father?"

"Mister Anderson." Snow replied flatly. "And he dose not like to be kept waiting."

"There is no Anderson here." The guard told him bluntly.

"Mister Anderson? The head of the company? Name ring any bells?"

The security guard hesitated. Snow continued.

"You can keep us here as long as you want, its not our jobs that are on the line here."

The security guard let us go and nodded to us respectfully.

"Err go on a head sir, I've no wish to keep Mister Anderson waiting."

"Smart move." Snow said flatly and continued walking.

When the security guard was out of sight we bust out laughing.

"Did that seriously just work? How stupid do you have to be." I giggled.

We found the stairs and climbed up to the meeting room. It contained a long sleek table surrounded by several large expensive looking chairs. Snow whistled.

"Now this is a nice place."

There was a tapping on a window and I walked over and opened it. James climbed in followed by two other kids.

"Here we are!" He announced. "Now we eat!"

The meal was good, I snagged some chowder and Snow had some chicken, both were good cold. We sat talking with James about future challenges we could have, and reliving old memories of challenges gone wrong and mad dashes from the polices. We were having a good time, and that's why we didn't hear the door opening.

By the time we knew what was happening it was to late, several men in formal looking suites walked in and starred at us I disbelief.

"What in the world are you kids doing up here!"

We jumped up and me and Snow pulled hoods over our heads. James and the kids that had joined him ran to the window and jumped out onto the window washing platform and started descending.

"Well... This is awkward..." I mutter to myself.

"Security! Get up here now!" One of the men shouted.

"Time to go!" Snow shouted and we ran of the men, pushing them out of the way and dodging hands as they tried to restrain us. We pushed passed and dived into and I dived into an elevator.

"Get in here!" I yelled at Snow. He was three feet away when a security guard grabbed him.

"Go!" He shouted and I pushed a button and started descending. Luckily the elevator didn't require a key to leave the top floor, or I'd have been in big trouble. I rode it down to the ground floor and dashed out. I saw James standing over in the shadow of an ally and ran over to him.

"They have Snow." I panted.

He looked at me sadly, but with anger burning in his eyes..

"No one was suppose to be there today, I checked the schedules. This shouldn't have happened. Luis was caught as well, but me and Todd escaped."

I turned and saw two police cars pull up to the building. The same security guard we had tricked was pushing Snow out, his hands cuffed behind his back. I locked eyes with him for a second then he was pushed into a police car with who must have been Luis.

"Did they see your face?" I asked James.

"I don't think so, did they see yours?"

"No, I pulled up my hood as soon as they came in."

"Good, they cant I.D. us... I hope."

"We better part ways, James, I'll see you in a few days when things die down."

We parted ways there, I watched the police car take Snow away. This was not something we had planned on or even dreamed would happen, this was the first time a challenge had gone terribly wrong. And, the last.
