Friday Fictioneers: Distraction
They did it for fun, pushed their friend in a wheelchair uphill.
It became a distraction to those who gathered to watch.
I felt the hand reaching to pickpocket. I grabbed it, twisted, and turned.
“Hi, little sis,” he said. “I taught you well.”
“Hi, big bro,” I said. “Haven’t seen you in awhile.”
“Well, you know.” He shrugged. “You being a cop and all.”
“My wallet!” was followed by, “My necklace,” and “My phone.”
I was distracted. My brother’s hand slipped from mine. By the time I turned around he’d disappeared along with his stash and my wallet.
That bomb.

He’s quite a pro~
I think all those times he was training her, he was really practicing.
Yes both are very good ideas
Sooner or later, she might have to arrest him…
Mmm. I think there is a story there. As in To Catch a Thief.
Dear Phyllis,
That took sibling rivalry to a whole new level. My guess is she knows where to find him. Arrest is imminent.
Shalom,
Rochelle
You might be right. ;0)
What a clever guy although what a sad life. I wonder if his sister will chase him.
Maybe.
Thus presenting a moral conundrum. He’s her brother, and he’s a criminal. How long does she let her brother get away with petty larceny before she arrests him?
And now we have a plot. Good job.
At least she knows, who done it!
Now she just has to track him down.
Hilarious take on the prompt 🙂 I love all the different stories coming from this photo!
Thanks. ;0) Blessings.
He got away with a good haul. Sis will know next time if he shows up at the next event to not let him get help.
You’re right. No more distraction when he’s around.
Once a pickpocket, always a pickpocket… She will have to keep a sharp eye when he comes ’round again, if he does.
So true.
At least all the loot stayed in the family.
That’s the best comment tot his story. LOL

Picking a pocket led me into a fine story, well done
Nice compliment. Thank you.
Smooth in every respect 😉
Her patience won’t last long. She’s going to arrest him one of these days. Great story.
I think you’re right. Thanks for reading.
