"Exactly! You don't look like bad people. How could you do that to him?" "Looks like a rich kid to me-the type who's used to bullying people!" Realizing the misunderstanding, Demi quickly explained, "You misunderstand. This person is a pickpocket! He stole my phone!" Everyone traded glances, but as the pickpocket expected, they judged her by her appearance-especially her plain clothes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's not like we're making fun of you, girl." Someone even chuckled. "Even if he's a thief, he wouldn't try to steal from you, would he?" "Exactly!" the pickpocket chimed in. "Where's your proof?!" Flustered, Demi leapt up and snapped, "We'll know when we search you!" Interestingly, Frank stopped her right then.
After all, only the police had the right to frisk a person, and the pickpocket was deliberately luring Demi to search him.
He was not getting away, but he could still ruin Demi's day for her and was all too pleased to do that! Suddenly, Frank feigned surprise and exclaimed, "What's that dropping out of your pocket?!" The crowd turned to see Demi's phone sliding out of the pickpocket's pocket, dropping on the ground but not breaking. Beside Frank, Jada could read his intention and strode up, asking, "Is that phone yours or the lady's?" "I-It's mine!" the pickpocket exclaimed, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Why would the smartphone drop out for no reason?! That was just bizarre! "Yours?" Jada smiled. "Then show everyone that you can unlock it!" "I, I..." "I guess it's actually the lady's, right?" Jada picked up the phone and passed it to Demi, who quickly unlocked it and showed it to everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You brat! Stealing in broad daylight?! It's like you have a death wish!" Public sentiment reversed right then, and those who sided with the pickpocket earlier were quickly switching sides.
Still, the pickpocket argued, "I stole it? What proof do you have that I stole it?!" "What proof?! If you didn't steal it, why did someone else's phone appear in your pocket?!" "Just understand the situation and surrender already, or no one's going to be nice!" Seeing that the mob was no longer wheeted his tune, the pickpocket on Frank. "Letgo, or I'll make you pay!" Frank was at once amused. "How, pray tell?" "Letmake one call, I dare you!" "Sure, keep theming!" Delighted, the pickpocket promptly whipped out his phone to call for help.
Everyone could see the danger and quickly reasoned with Frank, "You should just call the cops! If he brings friends who can fight, it'd be bad for you!" Frank smiled but said nothing.
UMS On the other hand, the pickpocket was done with his call and snapping pompously, "Just you wait! That goes for you too, onlookers-orice my friends are here, none of you are getting away! You'll all pay for this!" The crowd was unsure how to react to that.
The pickpocket looked like he could call up a dozen people at best-did they stand a chance against a whole mob? And the mob were no fools either. Even if they could not win in a fight, they could just run!
