Jenny's P.O V

Mum...

Was the only thing in my head, even though I was stuck in an unknown room with only a feeble light.

Ignoring the weight of the money bucks that were wrapped around my waist in a secured cloth, which was covered by my bomber jacket, I was only worried about my mum in the hospital. Taking her last breaths, waiting for me to bring the money, so her operation can start.

This morning..

I have to do it, for the sake of my mum.

Living in this crappy area, I didn't robbed or steal even if all people here did it for the sake of food or their lives. 

But I just can't see my mum, the only good thing that I have, die from pain and coughing.

I have to, and will steal for the sake of her.

With that, I tightened my bag strips around my shoulders, wearing a dark T-shirt with a bomber jacket and plain black jeans, I put the cap on my head and opened the rusty door of our ones room apartment.

I had locked my target one week ago. Even though I hadn't a plan to be a thief one week ago, but Eva......

The lady land of this whole area, with her sparkly jewellery and expensive clothes, she comes by here every month just to disgrace all of us, threatening us that if we don't pay her rent on time, she'll kick us out.

A month ago, she was scolding my mom for spilling water over her shoes when mom accidentally slipped. I stood up for mum just to receive a couple of slaps from Eva, getting my face swollen up for a week and receiving mum's scolding every time she treated my bruises.

After a week's mental preparation and closely observing my target, I am now ready.

To take my revenge, for a good thing.

2:58 pm

I looked at my watch and then at her door.

3pm sharp, she takes her dog on a walk.

As the time ticked 3, her door opened. Her fat appearance with her little dog with full hair body, both walked out with their heads raised with arrogance.

Hiding behind the tree, she didn't saw me as she locked her gate and walked out of her two story house,.......of course leaving the kitchen window opened.

Being a 17 years old, it wasn't hard for me to simply jump inside the window, once Eva and her dog Tommy walked out of the street.

Walking through the kitchen, I came in the living room. Her house maybe not be luxurious or big, but for me it was heaven.

I walked up the stairs with my hand gently brushing along the staircase handrail. On the first floor were two rooms and the other area was opened with big windows, and stuff toys scattered all over the floor, probably what her dog did.

I found the second floor staircase and went up, once I make sure that her room is not on the first floor. The second floor was a bit dark and didn't had any windows. There was a long hall with room doors along with it. Only a single bulb was lighting the long way.

Gladly all the rooms were named, making it easy for me to find her 'BEDROOM'

i opened the door and went inside. The room was like a hospital room; neat, white and had a medicine scent in it.

What does she takes medicines for?

I fastly moved around the room, opening every cupboard there was, but found nothing.

I took off my cap and ran my hand through my hair in frustration. Wasting no more time, I stepped out of her room and started opening every room's door. Going past through every room, my eyes stopped in front of the door that had no name on it.

I opened the door, stepping inside, the door had two large couches facing the big screen on the wall.

A home cinema.

But why wasn't there any name on it?

I turned around to exit the room but stopped, once spotting the wall wardrobe behind the wall of the door. I pushed the handle, only to be met with the fact that the door was locked.

Shit.

Where could that pig hide her key?

Wish I had had a detective study course.

Wish my dad wasn't a drunk who dumped my mom and me.

Wish God-

I was cut off by the sound of the door opening and the little excited barks of a dog.

Shit, shit, shit, shit.

"Tommy!" I heard her voice, coming up the stairs, which gladly stopped on the first floor.

Where could the fu--ing key be?!

Suddenly the door which I was standing behind, creaked a bit, showing someone has entered. My breath stopped and my heart came up to my mouth.

I exhaled in relief as I saw that it was her do-

THE KEY!!

In the collar of the dog was the key!

I bent down and slowly wrapped my hands around the dog's neck, who seemed too lazy to care about anything. I unbuckled his collar and pulled out the key. When I put back the collar around his neck, he turned around,......and started barking at me.

"Shh, shh, shut up doggy" I put my hand on his mouth, only to be bitten on my pinky.

That dog ran out. I quickly stood up and got the key inside the door. The key was in the hole but I stumbled as someone pulled me by my hair. Eva pushed me towards the couch, and I groaned in pain as my head hit it.

"Well, well. Look who do we have here?" She said in a mocking way.

"Ma'am please, listen to m-" Before I could even finish my sentence, she shut the door and locked it from outside.

"MA'AM PLEASE!!" I banged on the door, tears streaming out of my eyes, but no luck.

I sat down with my head in my hands, crying on thinking every horror thing that could happen now.

Me ending up in jail.

And mum ending up in.......grave.

I cried out and looked around with my vision blurred. My eyes stopped at the door, and then the door behind it.

The key was still in. Wiping my tears, I stumbled towards it and spun the key, and the door opened.

Inside were fresh bucks of dollars. The sight of money brought a spark inside me. I took out a piece of cloth from inside my bag and  wrapped some bucks inside it.

Wrapping the cloth securely around my waist, I put on my bomber jacket.  I took out my cell, and sent a few texts, and then put it back

Then I sat beside the door of the room, waiting for whatever destiny had planned for me.

_______________

The police sirens brought me back from my dream, in which I was wearing luxurious clothes and having tea with my mum in the big garden of a castle.

Soon the loud footsteps were coming up the stairs.

Author's P.O.V

The police bursted open the door "NYPD!" The officer in the front said, with his gun pointed towards the room which only had a bluish evening light.

Seeing no one inside, he gestured the other officers to follow him in "Scatter around, find her"

And they got busy in looking around the room, under the couch, behind the screen, giving Jenny behind the door, enough time to run out.

"GET HER!" An officer shouted and all the officers started running after Jenny.

Time skip.....

In the hospital....

The doctor entered the room, where the sick coughing lady was "We got the money, and now we're gonna start the operation"

The coughing woman looked up "Wh-o brought..the money?"

"The payment was made online" The doctor said, putting on his gloves.

The woman wondered about her daughter and the money.

Where is my daughter?

And where from the money came?

Just then the door opened and a bunch of surgeons walked in, giving the woman no more time to think as they told her to lay down, and started the surgery.

Next morning...

The woman opened her eyes. She was glad that the first thing she did after waking up wasn't coughing. But she became more gloomy when she didn't found her daughter beside her.

She became worried about her daughter, but wasn't able to do anything as she wasn't allowed to walk.

Sighing, she grabbed the remote controller by her hospital bedside table and turned on the little television up on the wall.

The first sight and words were enough to make her heart drop and eyes to fill with tears.

17 years old, Jenny, killed in a car accident while running from the officers last night.
