I entered the local Swarovski, hoping to find a nice watch. I'd decided it was the best way to go for expensive and tasteful. And the guy seemed like he could use a watch, since he was new to the schedule and everything.
I browsed and browsed, looking for something that would work with his complexion. It was getting close to 9 and I still hadn't found anything, when the lady told me she was getting ready to close in 15 minutes.
I rapidly searched the walls, high and low, angry with myself for not being decisive. What if I didn't get the watch by tomorrow? Mackenzie would definitely have him wrapped around her finger by then.
Suddenly, I heard this huge crash, and I dropped the diamond necklace I was examining in shock. What kind of customer was in that much of a rush that they couldn't open the door properly? Riff raff, I thought.
Then, two men in black entered the store. One of them had a gun, not even kidding. I tried to scream, but nothing came out. So I grabbed the sharpest looking jewels I could find and decided I could use them as defense. (Okay, maybe I just stood there for a bit, freaking out in my head, but who cares?)
Oh god, calm down, Ashley, I thought to myself as I backed against the wall in the far back. They just want jewels, no big deal, no one's going to hurt you.
I’d been in a robbed store once before, when I was really little, Daddy and I were shopping for a nice first day of school dress for me at Armani when robbers came. But Daddy had just kept with me and they’d left in like, 2 minutes. These guys seemed inclined to hang around.
